1. Use react-native-geocoding package for Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding.
2. install react-native-geocoding

npm install --save react-native-geocoding

3. For Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding in your app you import Geocoder API from react-native-geocoding package like this

import Geocoder from 'react-native-geocoding';

4. Geocoder.init("API key"); // initialize module
5. And use this code respectively for Geocoding and reverse Geocoding

Geocoder.from(41.89, 12.49).then(json => { var addressComponent = >json.results[0].address_components[0];

console.log(addressComponent); }).catch(error => console.warn(error)); // location object Geocoder.from({ latitude: 41.89, longitude: 12.49 });

 // latlng object Geocoder.from({ lat: 41.89, lng: 12.49 }); // array Geocoder.from([41.89, 12.49]);
