The Geocoder inherits from EventEmitter, so you can use the related methods. Most notably geocoder.on (see EventEmitter#on) to listen for events:
geocoder.on('select', function(item) {
console.log('Selected', item);
});Possible event types:
Emitted when user selects an item.
Emitted when user hovers over and item in the autocomplete list.
The result of the geocoding is always a GeoJSON with individual items in a FeatureCollection at the root (features property).
