CLGeocoder().geocodeAddressString - Show the input address on the map

1. Add the mapkit and a UITextField in the storyboard and edit the code as below:

import MapKit

import CoreLocation

import AddressBookUI

@IBOutlet weak var theMap: MKMapView!

class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {

Also include the MapKit and CoreLocation frameworks in the project.

2. Control-drag the text field to the Swift file and set:

Connection: Action
Name: addressInput
Type: UITextField
Event: Did End On Exit
Arguments: Sender

and click "connect."

3. Edit the code as below:

    @IBAction func addressInput(sender: UITextField) {

        var placemark: CLPlacemark!

        

        CLGeocoder().geocodeAddressString(sender.text, completionHandler: {(placemarks, error)->Void in

            if error == nil {

                

                placemark = placemarks[0] as CLPlacemark

                

                self.theMap.setRegion(MKCoordinateRegionMake(CLLocationCoordinate2DMake (placemark.location.coordinate.latitude, placemark.location.coordinate.longitude), MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.002, 0.002)), animated: true)

            }

        })

    }
