Ruby Geocoding Gem results methods/hash reference

result = Geocoder.search("white house, Washington DC")

How do you reference the below attributes?

I have tried r.first.data["address_components"], but I can not reference past this, for example, I want to pull the [type="premise"]["long_name"], etc. If I want the county, I can use r.first.country and it works, but r.first.premise does not work.

  @data=
   {"address_components"=>
     [{"long_name"=>"The White House",
       "short_name"=>"The White House",
       "types"=>["premise"]},
      {"long_name"=>"1600", "short_name"=>"1600", "types"=>["street_number"]},
      {"long_name"=>"Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest",
       "short_name"=>"Pennsylvania Ave NW",
       "types"=>["route"]},

tl;dr: There's a good set of docs for Geocoder::Results::Google available that has all the answers you'll want, I think.

Given your result above, this should work:

r = result.first
r.types
# => ["premise"]
r.country
# => "United States"
r.country_code
# => "US"
r.formatted_address
# => "The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500, USA"

I added the following to my code and now it works well.

module Geocoder::Result
  class Google < Base

    def premise
       if premise = address_components_of_type(:premise).first
         premise['long_name']
       end
    end

    def premise_code
       if premise = address_components_of_type(:premise).first
         premise['short_name']
       end
    end

    def subpremise
       if subpremise = address_components_of_type(:subpremise).first
         subpremise['long_name']
       end
    end
    def subpremise_code
       if subpremise = address_components_of_type(:subpremise).first
         subpremise['short_name']
       end
    end
  end
end

The documentation for the Geocoder::Result::Google class is here: http://www.rubydoc.info/github/alexreisner/geocoder/master/Geocoder/Result/Google It has lots of useful methods, including address_components_of_type.

It looks like what you want is this:

res1 = result.first
premises = res1.address_components_of_type(:premise)
puts premises[0]['long_name']
