Overview

This module provides a custom Silverstripe AddressFinderField which implements the javascript AddressFinder widget (1) for address and postcode lookups in New Zealand and Australia.

Getting Started

composer require fullscreeninteractive/silverstripe-addressfinder

• Sign up for an NZ account at addressfinder.nz/plans/, or an Australia plan at addressfinder.com.au/plans/
• Set the AddressFinder key via the Silverstripe config system

app/_config/addressfinder.yml

FullscreenInteractive\SilverStripe\AddressFinderField:
  api_key: 123

Or, use environment variables if you prefer:

app/_config/addressfinder.yml

FullscreenInteractive\SilverStripe\AddressFinderField:
  api_key: '`ADDRESS_FINDER_KEY`'

Then add an instance of AddressFinderField to your form fields

use FullscreenInteractive\SilverStripe\AddressFinderField;

$fields->push(new AddressFinderField('Address'));

This will provide your form with a single text box that provides an autocomplete dropdown as well as a toggle for the user to enter a manual address in the event the API is inaccessible.

The form field provides the saveInto logic for automatically saving into a DataObject model if defined. The fields that the module will save too (if in the database) are

• Address single line representation, should be the name of your field
• PostalLine1
• PostalLine2
• PostalLine3
• PostalLine4
• PostalLine5
• PostalLine6
• Suburb
• City
• Postcode
• Latitude
• Longitude

An example model which will capture all the information from AddressFinder is outlined below:

<?php

use SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject;

class AddressObject extends DataObject
{
    private static $db = [
        'Address' => 'Text',
        'PostalLine1' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'PostalLine2' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'PostalLine3' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'PostalLine4' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'PostalLine5' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'PostalLine6' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'Suburb' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'City' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'Postcode' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'Latitude' => 'Varchar(200)',
        'Longitude' => 'Varchar(200)'
    ];
}

To prefix these fields, call setFieldPrefix($prefix) on your AddressFinderField instance.

AddressFinderField::create('HomeAddress')
    ->setFieldPrefix('Home')
AddressFinderField::create('WorkAddress')
    ->setFieldPrefix('Work')

// requires the following model
private static $db = [
    'HomeAddress' => 'Text',
    'HomeAddressPostalLine1' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressPostalLine2' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressPostalLine3' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressPostalLine4' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressPostalLine5' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressPostalLine6' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressSuburb' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressCity' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressPostcode' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressLatitude' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'HomeAddressLongitude' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'WorkAddress' => 'Text',
    'WorkAddressPostalLine1' => 'Varchar(200)',
    'WorkAddressPostalLine2' => 'Varchar(200)',
    //...
];
