What is the syntax for testing number of results from a geocoder?

MatthewBaker2 — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:22:18 GMT

Hi all,

I'm trying to test the length of evt.addresses from the results of a geocoder task.

I can get a response if

evt.addresses.length > 1

, but I can't figure out how to test if there are no results, that is,

evt.addresses.length === 0

.

Any thoughts on the correct syntax to use to check for NO results?

Thanks!

Matt,

maybe this helps?

I use this

        geocoder.on("find-results", showAlert);                   // If no address found         function showAlert(evt) {               if (evt.results.results.length > 0){                 console.log("Match Found");           } else {             alert("No address has been found.");           }         };

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Tim

Hey Tim,

That does help - thank you!

But - for some reason I get a different response with my locator, so I'm still stuck...

Using the Firefox developer / network tools, the sample you provided gives back this with no results:

dojo.io.script.jsonp_dojoIoScript10._jsonpCallback({"results":[]});

With my locator, I get back this:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]34695[/ATTACH]

Do you know what that difference is and why the IF/ELSE statement would treat it differently?

Thanks again!

Can you post your whole code by chance?

Here's what I've got, with some stuff you might not need:
