Get default Billing/Shipping address of logged in customer Magento 2.0

Question

This is my first project using Magento 2. I'm having a hard time getting the default billing/shipping address of the logged in customer to display at the frontend of my custom module.

So far I have this:

//this gets the billing id which is an integer. I'm thinking it must be loaded to get the whole data of the address
$billingId =  $customerSession->getCustomer()->getDefaultBilling();

//just found this in the internet and thought it might be the same as loading an order, but it doesn't work
$address = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Customer\Model\AddressFactory')->load($billingId);

But the error says: Call to undefined method Magento\Customer\Model\AddressFactory::load()

I think I'm close but I don't know what to do next. Thanks in advance.

Solution

The correct way to get the billing address of logged in customer is :

$billingID =  $customerSession->getCustomer()->getDefaultBilling();
$address = $objectManager->create('Magento\Customer\Model\Address')->load($billingID);
echo "<pre>";print_r($address->getData());exit;

Using object manager directly is not good habit. What is more, here should be proper repository for address used.

Instead of pointing out the "wrong" way to do it and then just leave why not write a suggestion of how it's really suppsoed to be implemented.
