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:

Methods
public __construct( $data = NULL)
 

Constructor.

  • param array $data { Optional. Data for populating the Message object.
    @type int $revision
          The schema revision of the `PostalAddress`. This must be set to 0, which is
          the latest revision.
          All new revisions **must** be backward compatible with old revisions.
    @type string $region_code
          Required. CLDR region code of the country/region of the address. This
          is never inferred and it is up to the user to ensure the value is
          correct. See http://cldr.unicode.org/ and
          http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/30/supplemental/territory_information.html
          for details. Example: "CH" for Switzerland.
    @type string $language_code
          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".
    @type string $postal_code
          Optional. Postal code of the address. Not all countries use or require
          postal codes to be present, but where they are used, they may trigger
          additional validation with other parts of the address (e.g. state/zip
          validation in the U.S.A.).
    @type string $sorting_code
          Optional. Additional, country-specific, sorting code. This is not used
          in most regions. Where it is used, the value is either a string like
          "CEDEX", optionally followed by a number (e.g. "CEDEX 7"), or just a number
          alone, representing the "sector code" (Jamaica), "delivery area indicator"
          (Malawi) or "post office indicator" (e.g. Côte d'Ivoire).
    @type string $administrative_area
          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.
    @type string $locality
          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.
    @type string $sublocality
          Optional. Sublocality of the address.
          For example, this can be neighborhoods, boroughs, districts.
    @type array<string>|\Google\Protobuf\Internal\RepeatedField $address_lines
          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).
    @type array<string>|\Google\Protobuf\Internal\RepeatedField $recipients
          Optional. The recipient at the address.
          This field may, under certain circumstances, contain multiline information.
          For example, it might contain "care of" information.
    @type string $organization
          Optional. The name of the organization at the address.

Methods
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::hasOneof( $number)
protected Google\Protobuf\Internal\Message::mergeFromArray(array $array)
 

Populates the message from a user-supplied PHP array. Array keys correspond to Message properties and nested message properties.

Example:

$message->mergeFromArray([
    'name' => 'This is a message name',
    'interval' => [
         'startTime' => time() - 60,
         'endTime' => time(),
    ]
]);

This method will trigger an error if it is passed data that cannot be converted to the correct type. For example, a StringValue field must receive data that is either a string or a StringValue object.
