Geocoding via AJAX

If your users need to perform an address lookup without loading a new page, you would of course use AJAX to handle that. The format of the results depends on which endpoint you are using.

/all

Returns results as an array of Address Models, or an empty array if nothing is found.

var endpoint = '/actions/google-maps/lookup/all';

See full details of all()

/one

Returns results as a single Address Model, or null if nothing is found.

var endpoint = '/actions/google-maps/lookup/one';

See full details of one()

/coords

Returns results as a single set of coordinates, or null if nothing is found.

var endpoint = '/actions/google-maps/lookup/coords';

See full details of coords()

AJAX Response

The response of each AJAX call will come in the following format:

{
    success: bool,
    error: string|null,
    results: mixed // depends on which endpoint
}

Formatting Results

The results value will be formatted according to which endpoint you are pinging.

The Google Maps plugin is not opinionated, how you perform the AJAX call is entirely up to you. You can get an idea of how the endpoints work by studying the AJAX geocoding example...
