PostLib

This package is a javascript library used to resolve Libya Post addresses into GPS coordinates and Google Plus Codes.

Installation

npm install postlib

Usage

Using npm to include postlib in your own project:

npm install postlib

Import it in your JavaScript/typescript file:

import { postly } from 'postlib';

To resolve the postal address to GPS coordinates (e.g. address 10.10.10) call the function addressToCoordinates

async function getGPSCoordinates(address: string) {
    try {
        let response = await postly.addressToCoordinates(address);
        //  response => {long: 32.88106805800004, lat: 13.168020317000071, address: "10.10.10"}
    } catch(err) {
        // error handling
    } 
}

To resolve the postal address to Google Plus Code(e.g. address 10.10.10) call the function addressToPlusCode

async function getPlusCode(address: string) {
    try {
        let response = await postly.addressToPlusCode(address);
        //  response => {address: "10.10.10", gpluscode: "8F4MV5J9+C6"}
    } catch(err) {
        // error handling
    } 
}

To validate if the supplied address of a valid format use the function isAddressValid

function validAddress(address: string) {
    retrun postly.isAddressValid(address);  // returns true or false
}
