Address Field Lookup

Address Field Lookup provides an abstracted API which enables addresses to be looked-up via any number of 'Address Field Lookup Services'. The module relies on Address Field for its underlying architecture. The scope of this module is to provide an addressfield handler that will provide postcode lookup functionality based on the default lookup service.

Dependencies

• Address Field
• Chaos Tools

Features

• Abstracted API which allows any number of 'address field lookup services' to be defined.
• Ships with a sub-module providing integration with PCA Predict (formerly Postcode Anywhere).
• Comprehensive suite of hooks for providing services, altering data pre/post lookup and providing service-bespoke addressfield alterations.
• Test facility to check the validity of an 'Address Field Lookup Service'

Address Field Lookup Services

Address Field Lookup services can be defined through the module API, the main entry point for this being hook_addressfield_lookup_service_info. Documentation can be found in addressfield_lookup.api.php. Each service needs to provide its own handler class which implements the AddressFieldLookupInterface defined within this module.

Each service is required to provide its own configuration interface via the form API. The actual details of the configuration can be fully bespoke to the
service.

PCA Predict (Formerly Postcode Anywhere)

The sub-module for PCA Predict (formerly Postcode Anywhere) provides its integration via the following web services:

• CapturePlus Interactive Find
