How to extract street, city, etc. from GMSPlace Address Components

Question

I\'m using Google Places API for iOS and can successfully retrieve nearby places and present the address as a string. What I\'m trying to do is extract address components such

Answer 1

I will extend @Ramis answer, in any case you want to check for multiple types if one of them exist, e.x

addressComponents?.valueFor(placeTypes: kGMSPlaceTypePostalTown, kGMSPlaceTypeLocality)

implementation

extension Array where Element == GMSAddressComponent {
    func valueFor(placeTypes: String..., shortName: Bool = false) -> String? {
        let array = self as NSArray
        let result = array
            .compactMap { $0 as? GMSAddressComponent }
            .first(where: {
                placeTypes.contains($0.types.first(where: { placeTypes.contains($0) }) ?? "")
            })
        return shortName ? result?.shortName : result?.name
    }
}

Answer 2

var keys = [String]()
    place.addressComponents?.forEach{keys.append($0.type)}
    var values = [String]()
    place.addressComponents?.forEach({ (component) in
        keys.forEach{ component.type == $0 ? values.append(component.name): nil}

         print("All component type \(component.type)")

       if component.type == "locality"{
            print("This is city name \(component.name)")
        }
    })
    print(values)

I could not find this anywhere for Objective-C, for those who follow behind me:

for (int i = 0; i < [place.addressComponents count]; i++)
{
    NSLog(@"name %@ = type %@", place.addressComponents[i].name, place.addressComponents[i].type);
}

Answer 4

I found this, I hope I help you

  let arrays : NSArray = place.addressComponents! as NSArray
        for i in 0..<arrays.count {

            let dics : GMSAddressComponent = arrays[i] as! GMSAddressComponent
            let str : NSString = dics.type as NSString

            if (str == "country") {
                print("Country: \(dics.name)")
                self.pais = dics.name
            }

            else if (str == "administrative_area_level_2") {
                print("City: \(dics.name)")
                self.ciudad = dics.name
            }

Answer 5

for ( GMSAddressComponent * component in place.addressComponents) {
    if ( [component.type  isEqual: @"locality"] )
    {
        NSLog(@"Current city %@ ", component.name);
    }
}

For the latest Google Places API (July 2019) this is what could help you. Actually, Google now putting a couple of types for each element. So the "type" is now deprecated and "types" is new filed.

You can do something like this:

 for addressComponent in (self.mySelectedPlace?.addressComponents)! {
            for type in (addressComponent.types){

                switch(type){
                    case "country":
                        var country = addressComponent.name

                    case "postal_code":
                         var postCode = addressComponent.name

                default:
                    break
                }

            }
        }
