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 as city to store in a database.
The documentation indicates a GMSPlace has an addressComponents property (an array), but I can't seem to figure how to use this property.
The code below provides sets the entire address to the text of a label, but I can't get beyond that:
Edit ---- added code that shows how I'm trying to access Address Components
venueLabel.isHidden = false
venueLabel.text = selectedPlace?.name
addressLabel.isHidden = false
addressLabel.text = selectedPlace?.formattedAddress
let addressComponents = selectedPlace?.addressComponents
for component in addressComponents! {
let city = component["city"] //Error Type GMSPaceAddressComponent has no subscript members
print(city)
}
A safe Swift 4.2 solution:
let name = place.addressComponents?.first(where: { $0.type == "city" })?.name
selectedPlace.addressComponents is a array of GMSAddressComponent which have 2 properties type and name. In you case it will be like
for component in addressComponents! {
if component.type == "city" {
print(component.name)
}
}
GMSAddressComponent is a class not a dictionary or array that's you are getting this error.
Additional component types can be referred from the link.
