I am using Google geocoder for lat and lon and my question is, is there a way you can find out zipcode with latitude and longitude?

I made a generic function to look for the type that you want. Not always the address_component has zipcode, country, etc and if they do not always are in the same index. Sometimes your array is lenght 8, 6 or whatever. I did it in Typescript, just change a few things to make it vanilla JS.

getPlaceTypeValue(addressComponents: Places[], type: string): string {
    let value = null;
    for (const [i] of addressComponents.entries()) {
      if (addressComponents[i].types.includes(type)) {
        value = addressComponents[i].long_name;
        break;
      }
    }
    return value;
  }

OR

getPlaceTypeValue(addressComponents: any[], type: string): string {
    return (addressComponents.find(({ types }) => types.includes(type)) || {}).long_name || null;
}

Example of usage:

this.placesService.getPlaceTypeValue(address.address_components, 'postal_code');
this.placesService.getPlaceTypeValue(address.address_components, 'country');
