SDK Developer and Contribution Workflow

Prerequisites

Node.js

Before you can start working on the Autocomplete JS SDK, you need to have Node.js installed on your machine. The currently supported versions are 10.0.0 or greater.

To download Node.js visit https://nodejs.org/en/download/.

NOTE: You can use a tool like NVM or N to install and manage multiple node versions

Yarn

In addition to Node.js we use yarn to facilitate multi package development.

To install yarn follow the instructions listed on their website: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

Verify Prerequisites

You can verify your setup by running the following commands in your terminal:

$ node -v
$ yarn -v

Your Node.js version should be 10.0.0 or greater, your yarn version should be 1.0.0 or greater,

Install Dependencies

Once you have Node.js and yarn installed on your machine and have validated that you are running the proper version, you can set up the development environment by running the following at the root of the SDK:

$ yarn

Once you have installed all the dependencies, you can build the entire SDK by running the following command the root of the SDK:

$ yarn build

Usage Example

In browser

import { SearchSubjects, createSearchService } from 'dist/lib/postdirekt-autocomplete';

let searchService = createSearchService('myApiAccessToken')
let requestBuilder = searchService.requestBuilder;
let request = requestBuilder.create({
  country: 'de',
  subject: Subject.Buildings,
  city: 'Test city',
  street: 'Test street'
});

let responsePromise = searchService.search(request);
responsePromise.then(response => { /* handle response */ })

In node

Running in node currently is only possible with a fetch polyfill (e.g. isomorphic-fetch). A native implementation might follow in the future.

require('es6-promise').polyfill();
require('isomorphic-fetch');
const sdk = require('./dist/browser/postdirekt-autocomplete.umd');
let process = require('process');

const token = process.env.TOKEN;

const searchService = sdk.createSearchService(token);

const request = searchService.requestBuilder.create({
  country: 'de',
  street: 'Be',
  city: 'Leipzig',
  subject: sdk.SearchSubjects.PostalCodesCitiesStreets,


});

searchService.search(request).then(
  (response) => {
    console.table(response.addresses)
  }
).catch(
  console.error
);
