How to use viewport results to set map scale

[Claus]

geocoder returns a suggested viewport in its response

which I capture like with "results[0].geometry.viewport" in the JSON
response

I wanted to simply use the suggested viewport's lat lng for my map
zoom level instead of trying to code a switch which would zoom based
on the geometry.location_type response. See my current code below:

switch (results[0].geometry.location_type)
{
case "ROOFTOP":
map.setZoom(18);
break;
default:
map.setZoom(6);
}


Can I use something like setBounds(bounds:LatLngBounds)? If so what
would the sample code look like?

I tried :

map.setBounds(results[0].geometry.viewport)

but that did not work.

No, you can't just make syntax up.
Try the docs

Thanks for the reply, got it to work after you pointed me in a
direction to research.
