init(fullAddress:shortAddress:)

Declaration

init?(fullAddress: String, shortAddress: String?)

Parameters

• fullAddress:

  A string that represents a place’s full address.

• shortAddress:

  A compact, short form of the address, such as the location’s street address and city.

Discussion

Use this initializer to create a new MKAddress with a complete address and a short abbreviated address, such as a street address and city.

When you intend to use the MKAddress instance with an MKMapItem to display a Place Card, use multi-line strings when specifying the fullAddress. Doing this enables the framework to ensure the best user experience.

You can provide this using Swift’s multi-line strings using triple-quotes, as shown here.

    let metMuseum = MKAddress(fullAddress:
        """
        The Metropolitan Museum of Art
        1000 Fifth Avenue
        New York, NY, 10028
        """",
    shortAddress: "1000 Fifth Avenue, New York")

Another, equivalent, method is providing the same full address information on a single line using embedded newline characters (”\n”) as shown here.

    let metMuseum = MKAddress(fullAddress:"The Metropolitan Museum of Art \n 1000 Fifth Avenue \n New York, NY, 10028", shortAddress: "1000 Fifth Avenue")
