How To Get Country From Google Maps Api?

I use this script: var place = autocomplete.getPlace(); latitude = place.geometry.location.lat(); longitude = place.geometry.location.lng(); street_number = place.address_componen

Solution 1:

You shouldn't rely on index of element in place.address_components array. Instead you have to analyze the "types" field to find the corresponding address component for the country.

It can be done with Array.prototype.filter() and Array.prototype.includes() functions.

var filtered_array = place.address_components.filter(function(address_component){
    return address_component.types.includes("country");
}); 
var country = filtered_array.length ? filtered_array[0].long_name: "";
