Dummy Address Data (DAD) Node Library

Dummy Address Data (DAD) - Retrieve real addresses from all around the world.

The DAD Node library is the perfect companion to quickly bootstrap address data in your application. DAD provides real addresses from all over the world with a consistent data structure so you can spend less time looking up addresses and address rules and more time coding. Rigorously tested with 2000+ tests, rest easy knowing your address data is uniform, accurate, and performant.

Install

# Install globally for CLI implementation
npm i -g dad-tool

# Install locally for package implementation
npm i dad-tool

Address Data

Address objects will look like the sample below. The data type of each field on an address object is a string. A list of addresses is an array of json objects.

Attempts have been made to verify addresses and ensure that street1, city, state, and zip are present on all records. Some lists may be shorter than others to avoid complexity or because of a lack of accurate data.

The following files can be found in the data directory.

Australia

| Locations | Tag | | ------------- | ----- | | Victoria Area | AU_VT |

| Locations | Tag | | --------- | ----- | | BC Area | CA_BC |

Usage

CLI Implementation

# Returns a random address from a list to console
dad US_UT

Package Implementation

const dad = require('dad-tool');

// Grab a random UT address
const address = dad.random('US_UT');
console.log(address);

// Alternatively, grab the entire UT list
const addresses = dad.list('US_UT');
console.log(addresses);

// Print to console or do whatever you'd like with the address data
console.log(address.city);

// Get the list of all ISO country codes
const isoData = dad.isoCountryCodes();
for (let i = 0; i < isoData.length; i++) {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(isoData[i], null, 4));
}

Sample Address Object

A sample address object will look like the following:

{
  "street1": "231 N 1200 W",
  "street2": "UNIT 104",
  "city": "OREM",
  "state": "UT",
  "zip": "84057",
  "country": "US"
}

{
  "country": "United States of America",
  "alpha_2_code": "US",
  "alpha_3_code": "USA"
}
