Properties.type is some enum type or can be anything?

Hi everyone 👋 I wonder how type field under properties in photon response is created.

"properties": {
  "osm_id": 501378618,
  "osm_type": "N",
  "country": "Nigeria",
  "osm_key": "place",
  "city": "Babban Mutum",
  "countrycode": "NG",
  "osm_value": "village",
  "name": "Mutum",
  "county": "Baure",
  "state": "Katsina",
  **"type": "district"**
}

I've seen possible values such as house, city, district, locality, etc. Is there some predefined constants or it can be anything?

Thank you!

I've counted 1000 values once, so essentially endless.

You probably thinking about Nominatim and that has been fixed since osm-search/Nominatim#2681

@lonvia Sarah, from your link it suggests these are the possible value for type: the 'address level' of the object (house, street, district, city, county, state, country, locality)

Is that correct?

The possible values that Photon returns in the type field can be found in the AddressType enum.
