More efficient way to extract address components

Question

Currenty, I\'m using the following code to get the country, postal code, locality and sub-locality:

var country, postal_code, locality, sublocality;
for (i =         


        

Answer 1

I did it like this:

placeParser = function(place){
  result = {};
  for(var i = 0; i < place.address_components.length; i++){
    ac = place.address_components[i];
    result[ac.types[0]] = ac.long_name;
  }
  return result;
 };

then i just use

parsed = placeParser(place)
parsed.route
