Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Domains V1beta1 API class Google::Type::PostalAddress.
Represents a postal address, e.g. for postal delivery or payments addresses. Given a postal address, a postal service can deliver items to a premise, P.O. Box or similar. It is not intended to model geographical locations (roads, towns, mountains).
In typical usage an address would be created via user input or from importing existing data, depending on the type of process.
Advice on address input / editing:
- Use an i18n-ready address widget such as
https://github.com/google/libaddressinput)
- Users should not be presented with UI elements for input or editing of fields outside countries where that field is used.

#address_lines
def address_lines() -> ::Array<::String>-
(::Array<::String>) — Unstructured address lines describing the lower levels of an address.
Because values in address_lines do not have type information and may sometimes contain multiple values in a single field (e.g. "Austin, TX"), it is important that the line order is clear. The order of address lines should be "envelope order" for the country/region of the address. In places where this can vary (e.g. Japan), address_language is used to make it explicit (e.g. "ja" for large-to-small ordering and "ja-Latn" or "en" for small-to-large). This way, the most specific line of an address can be selected based on the language.
The minimum permitted structural representation of an address consists of a region_code with all remaining information placed in the address_lines. It would be possible to format such an address very approximately without geocoding, but no semantic reasoning could be made about any of the address components until it was at least partially resolved.
Creating an address only containing a region_code and address_lines, and then geocoding is the recommended way to handle completely unstructured addresses (as opposed to guessing which parts of the address should be localities or administrative areas).

#administrative_area
def administrative_area() -> ::String- (::String) — Optional. Highest administrative subdivision which is used for postal addresses of a country or region. For example, this can be a state, a province, an oblast, or a prefecture. Specifically, for Spain this is the province and not the autonomous community (e.g. "Barcelona" and not "Catalonia"). Many countries don't use an administrative area in postal addresses. E.g. in Switzerland this should be left unpopulated.

#language_code
def language_code() -> ::String-
(::String) — Optional. BCP-47 language code of the contents of this address (if
known). This is often the UI language of the input form or is expected
to match one of the languages used in the address' country/region, or their
transliterated equivalents.
This can affect formatting in certain countries, but is not critical
to the correctness of the data and will never affect any validation or
other non-formatting related operations.
If this value is not known, it should be omitted (rather than specifying a possibly incorrect default).
Examples: "zh-Hant", "ja", "ja-Latn", "en".

#locality
def locality() -> ::String- (::String) — Optional. Generally refers to the city/town portion of the address. Examples: US city, IT comune, UK post town. In regions of the world where localities are not well defined or do not fit into this structure well, leave locality empty and use address_lines.
