Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Vladdress 🧛‍♂️

NPM_VERSION

Introduction

This package aims to be a simple address parsing utility. It is based off of the project moneals/addresser but re-written in TypeScript and cleaned up a bit.

Why vladdress?

VLADdress is a combination of the company I work for (Vidaloop) and the function of the package itself (address parsing!)

Installation

If you're using NPM:

npm install vladdress

For yarn:

yarn add vladdress

Usage

The package is simple to use, simply import it and call parseAddress(...) with the address you'd like to parse.

import { parseAddress } from 'vladdress';

const result = parseAddress('123 Main Street, San Diego CA 92115');

Return Value

The following interface is returned from the function:

| Property | Always Present? | Description | | -------- | --- | ----------- | | addressLine1 | Yes | The full line 1 of the address specified. | | formattedAddress | Yes | The formatted and normalized address as a human-readable output. | | id | Yes | An ID generated from the name of the street that can be used for caching. | | placeName | Yes | The name of the locality or city the address is in. | | stateAbbreviation | Yes | The abbreviation of the state the address is in (e.g. CA) | | stateName | Yes | The full name of the state the address is in. | | streetName | Yes | The name of the street. | | addressLine2 | No | The full line 2 of the address specified (e.g. "Unit 1") | | streetDirection | No | The direcion name of the street (if applicable) (e.g. N in 123 N Main St.). | | streetNumber | No | The address's street number (if supplied). | | streetSuffix | No | The suffix of the street name (e.g. St. in Main St.). | | zipCode | No | For the US, this is this is the 5-digit ZIP code of the given address (e.g. 94021). In Canada, this is the canadian-formatted code (A1A-1A1) | | zipCodePlusFour | No | In the US, this is the full, 9-digit zip code of the form (94021-2228) |

Usage Notes

  • US Addresses are the best supported (PRs welcome to remedy this!)
    • Canadian addresses may also be supported, but full support may be lacking.
  • Addresses with no street number should still parse correctly
  • Addresses with unit number in the front should still parse correctly
  • Addresses with no delimiters ("," for example) should still parse correctly

Contributing

Any and all contributions are welcome! Simply make a PR and we will review it! (In the future, we may have more rules on contributions).

Testing

To test the package, run npm run test.

Testing is done via mocha and chai for assertions. Please run all tests before making a PR to ensure they all pass.
