get the coordinates(latitude and longitude) of google map by street address - angular

Question

so i have random street address, lets say: 5707 dogwood ave. all i want is to get the coordinates of that address so i can view my google map at the street location using angular. i've search but wasn't able to find anything useful. the map code(very basic map) ``` $scope.map = { center: { latitude: 33.025859, longitude: -96.844698 }, zoom: 8 }; ``` html code: ``` ```

Accepted Answer

You can use an http.get as such to make a GET request at Google's API endpoint and retrieve a json of the address's coordinates:

```
$http.get('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=false').success(function(mapData) {
      angular.extend($scope, mapData);
    });
```

and you can call out the data at `$scope.mapData`
