z1p v0.1.0

Zip Codes Validation and Parse :mailbox_with_mail:

The module that can be used for search places via zip code and other geolocation properties.

Usage

Install package:

npm i z1p

Then you need to add countries you wish to search in. For example the USA.

npm i @zip/us

Then you can use it like this:

const z1p = require("z1p");

// Get places by zip code.
z1p(["US"]).raw(v => v.zip_code == "59330");

// Same as above
z1p(["us"]).findBy("zip_code", "59330"));

// Same as above but memorized
z1p(["Us"], {memorize: true}).findBy("zip_code", "59330"));

//Result
/*
[ { accuracy: '1',
    community: null,
    community_code: null,
    country_code: 'US',
    latitude: '47.1008',
    longitude: '-104.7287',
    place: 'Glendive',
    province: 'Dawson',
    province_code: '021',
    state: 'Montana',
    state_code: 'MT',
    zip_code: '59330' } ]
*/

API

z1p(codes, options)

• codes {Array of Strings} Country codes to search in. By default equals all available.
• options {Object}
  • memorize {Boolean} default: false this options for memorization at methods

.raw(compare)

• compare {Function} function to find.
  returns: {Array of Places}

.findBy(key, value)

• key {String} key in object strucuture (zip_code, accuracy, etc.)

• value {String} value to find.

  returns: {Array of Places}

Note: This method could be memorized. Every result will be saved to memory so the only first call will be slow.

Place object looks like this:

{
  accuracy: '1', // Accuracy of place
  community: 'community', // Community name
  community_code: 'community_code', // Community code
  country_code: 'country_code', // Country code
  latitude: '1', // Latitude
  longitude: '-1', // Longitude
  place: 'place', // Place
  province: 'province', // Province
  province_code: '021', // Province code
  state: 'state', // State
  state_code: 'state_code', // State code
  zip_code: '1' // Zip code
}

Example:

  { accuracy: '1',
    community: null,
    community_code: null,
    country_code: 'US',
    latitude: '47.1008',
    longitude: '-104.7287',
    place: 'Glendive',
    province: 'Dawson',
    province_code: '021',
    state: 'Montana',
