Maps SDK for Web
Class CrossStreetLookup
It allows to convert geographical coordinates into textual address representation using the TomTom's Search API - CrossStreet lookup.
Parameters can be passed to the constructor or provided via convenient methods that can be chained until the method go performs the actual call.
The call is asynchronous therefore the user have two options for receive the response:
The final response from service is a JSON object with the following structure:
{
address: {
buildingNumber: 19,
streetNumber: 19,
street: "N 2nd St",
streetName: "N 2nd St",
crossStreet: "E SANTA CLARA ST"
streetNameAndNumber: "",
speedLimit: "",
countryCode: "US",
countrySubdivision: "CA",
countrySecondarySubdivision: "Santa Clara",
countryTertiarySubdivision: "",
municipality: "San Jose",
postalCode: "95113",
municipalitySubdivision: "San Francisco Bay Area",
freeformAddress: "E SANTA CLARA ST & N 2nd St, San Jose, CA, 95113"
},
position: "37.337083, -121.8898"
}

Methods
callback([newValue]): Function Chainable
Sets or gets the value of the option callback
.
This callback function will be called only after the go method successfully complete its task.
Its first and unique argument passed to the callback will be the result of the request.
Parameters
Name | Description | Required | Type/Values | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
newValue | The new callback function | No | Function | None |
Throws
If the given argument is not a function
Returns
The same service instance or the current callback function if no argument was given
Example
function callbackFn(results) {
console.log(results);
}
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
.query("pizza")
.callback(callbackFn)
.go();
fail([newValue]): Function Chainable
Sets or gets the value of the option fail
.
This function is called when an error occurs (e.g. invalid values or a communication error).
The callback will receive just one argument which is the error description.
This parameter will be ignored if the callback function is not defined and therefore the
go method will return a Promise that will be rejected if an error occurs.
If you don't specificy a failure callback, the default behavior in case of encounter a problem is to
throw an error.
Parameters
Name | Description | Required | Type/Values | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
newValue | The new callback function | No | Function | None |
Throws
If the given argument is not a function
Returns
The same service instance or the current callback function if no argument was given
Example
function successCallback(results) {
console.log(results);
}
function failureCallback(error) {
console.log(error);
}
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
.query("pizza")
.callback(successCallback)
.fail(failureCallback)
.go();
go([success], [fail]): Promise | Null
Executes a predefined asynchronous task using the current configuration and then execute one of the callback functions based on the success of the result. It receives two optional arguments. The first one is a callback function that will be used when the task is successfully completed. The second one is another callback function that will be used only in case of failure. Both arguments are shortcuts for the callback and fail methods respectively.
Parameters
Name | Description | Required | Type/Values | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
success | The callback function to be called on case of success | No | Function | None |
fail | The callback function to be called on case of failure. If a success callback was not given this argument will be ignored. In that case the returned Promise should be used to handle the failures. | No | Function | None |
Returns
If the success callback is omitted (and wasn't defined one yet) this function will return a Promise
Example
All the ways of using this method:
// Defining callbacks as function arguments
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
.query("pizza")
.go(successCallback, failureCallback);
// Defining callbacks using setters methods
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
.query("pizza")
.callback(successCallback)
.fail(failureCallback)
.go();
// Using the returned Promise
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
.query("pizza")
.go()
.then(successCallback)
.catch(failureCallback);
The SDK provides a Promise polyfill for browsers (IE<9) without native ECMAScript 6 support.
heading([newValue]): Number Chainable
Sets or gets the value of the option heading
.
Makes possible to get address information of road keeping in mind the direction.
Parameters

up to one decimal place.
