# Location Field

`Object` — Displayed as a combination of fields in the Admin UI

Contains a standard set of strings for storing an address, and a longitude / latitude point with a `2dsphere` index.

Also provides autocomplete functionality using Google's Places API (requires a Google Maps API Key to be provided, must only be used in accordance with Google's terms of service).

Google Places integration requires the `google api key` option to be set for Keystone. See the [Google configuration documentation](http://keystonejs.com/docs/configuration/#services-google) for details.

```
{ type: Types.Location, defaults: { country: 'Australia' } }
```

> Note: the schema paths are based on Australian address formats, and should be updated to be more appropriate for other international formats. If you have feedback on how the structure should be internationalised, please open a ticket.

## Options

`defaults` `Object` - default values for each path in the field schema

`Schema`

`name` `String` - building name

`number` `String` - unit or shop number

`street1` `String` - street address

`street2` `String` - street address line 2

`suburb` `String`

`state` `String`

`postcode` `String`

`country` `String`

`geo` `Array` longitude, latitude

> Important: as per the MongoDB convention, the order for the geo array must be lng, lat which is the opposite of the order used by Google's API.

## Underscore methods

`googleLookup(region, update, callback)` - autodetect the full address and lng, lat from the stored value.

`region` `String` is passed to the Places API for regional biasing and filtering.
`update` `String` passing "overwrite" will completely overwrite existing data with the result. true will set blank properties on the field with the result.
`callback(err, location, result)` - is passed the parsed **location** object, and the raw **result** from Google.

Internal status codes mimic the Google API status codes. See [Google Maps Geocoding API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding) for more information.

Use of the Google Geocoding API is subject to a query limit of 2,500 geolocation requests per day, except with an enterprise license.

The Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. Please make sure your Keystone app complies with the Google Maps API License.
