javascript - Parsing city/state from Google Maps request -


var geocoder = new google.maps.geocoder();             geocoder.geocode({'latlng': foundloc}, function(results, status) {                 if (status == google.maps.geocoderstatus.ok) {                     if (results[1]) {                         var loc = getcitystate(results);                     }                 }             });   function getcitystate(results)         {             var citystatearray = results[1].formatted_address.split(",",2);             var city = citystatearray[0];             var state = citystatearray[1].substring(1, 3);             return (city + ', ' + state)         } 

this use now, , works 90% of time. other times, formatted_address contains town , city along state, other times town , city, other times can dream of.

i haven't yet found consistent way of getting city/state google maps api result. of guys have one? thanks.

example of 1 response google uses example on page:

{   "status": "ok",   "results": [ {     "types": [ "street_address" ],     "formatted_address": "1600 amphitheatre pkwy, mountain view, ca 94043, usa",     "address_components": [ {       "long_name": "1600",       "short_name": "1600",       "types": [ "street_number" ]     }, {       "long_name": "amphitheatre pkwy",       "short_name": "amphitheatre pkwy",       "types": [ "route" ]     }, {       "long_name": "mountain view",       "short_name": "mountain view",       "types": [ "locality", "political" ]     }, {       "long_name": "california",       "short_name": "ca",       "types": [ "administrative_area_level_1", "political" ]     }, {       "long_name": "united states",       "short_name": "us",       "types": [ "country", "political" ]     }, {       "long_name": "94043",       "short_name": "94043",       "types": [ "postal_code" ]     } ],     "geometry": {       "location": {         "lat": 37.4219720,         "lng": -122.0841430       },       "location_type": "rooftop",       "viewport": {         "southwest": {           "lat": 37.4188244,           "lng": -122.0872906         },         "northeast": {           "lat": 37.4251196,           "lng": -122.0809954         }       }     }   } ] } 

sometimes fields don't have values, do.

why parse formatted_address ?

there address_components, can walk through them , ones

"types": [ "administrative_area_level_1", "political" ]// state "types" : [ "locality", "political" ]//the city
