Search for an address | Overview | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.33

Learn how to find an address or place with a Search component and the Geocoding service.

Geocoding is the process of converting address or place text into a location. The Geocoding service can search for an address or a place and perform reverse geocoding. Use the Search component to access the Geocoding service and perform interactive searches.

In this tutorial, you will use the Search component to search for addresses and places.

Note

To learn more about geocoding and searching for places, visit Geocode and search in the Mapping and location services guide.

Prerequisites ArcGIS Accounts:

You need an ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account.

Update the map

A streets basemap layer is typically used in geocoding applications. Update the basemap property to use the arcgis/navigation basemap layer and change the position of the map to center on Seattle.

  1. Update the basemap attribute from arcgis/topographic to arcgis/navigation. Then update the center attribute to [-122.3321, 47.6062] and set the zoom attribute to 12 to center on Seattle. .

Add Search component

The Search component is a control that allows you to interactively search for addresses and places. It provides suggestions as you type and allows you to select a result. When you select a result, it zooms to a location and displays a pop-up with the address information. By default, the component uses a locator and sources that accesses the Geocoding service.

  1. Inside the <arcgis-map> component, add the <arcgis-search> component and specify its position.

      <arcgis-search position="top-right"></arcgis-search>

    </arcgis-map>
Run the app

In CodePen, run your code to display the map.

Try searching for the following locations: - Seattle - Space Needle - Hollywood Blvd - 34.13419, -118.29636

The map should display a Search component that allows you to interactively search for addresses and places.
