Convert object address to string

Question

In my application when you single-click a point on the map it returns the address. Example:

locator.on("location-to-address-complete", function(evt) {
if (evt.address.address) {
      var address = evt.address.address;
      var location = webMercatorUtils.geographicToWebMercator(evt.address.location);
      console.log(address)
    }
});

console displays:

Object {Address: "1029 W Cermak Rd", Neighborhood: null, City: "Chicago", Subregion: null, Region: "Illinois"…}

Is there a way to convert the address to a string. Basically I just want: 1029 W Cermak Rd., Chicago, Illinois.

Thank you.

There is no generic way to do this. You just need to concatenate the fields you're interested in. You can use filter to filter out the nil/empty fields, and then join the results.

var address = evt.address.address;

addressString = [
  address.Address,
  address.Neighborhood,
  address.City,
  address.Region,
  address.Subregion,
].filter(function (val) { return val }).join(", ");
