const config: Configuration = new Configuration({
username: "<>",
});

const addressApi = new AddressesApi(config);

try {
const addressCreate = new AddressEditable({
name: "Thing T. Thing",
address_line1: "1313 CEMETERY LN",
address_city: "WESTFIELD",
address_state: "NJ",
address_zip: "07090",
});

const myAddress = await addressApi.create(addressCreate);
const myAddressFromApi = await addressApi.get(myAddress.id);

} catch (err: any) {
console.error(err);
}

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule.
This package is compatible with all current _active_ and _maintenance_ versions of
Node.js. If you are using a version that is not listed as an _active_ or _maintenance_ version we recommend that you switch to an actively supported LTS version.

Any support or compatability with versions of Node.js not listed as _active_ or _maintenance_ is on a
best-efforts basis.

Testing

$3

To run unit tests:

`bash
$ npm test
`

$3

Integration tests run against a live deployment of the Lob API and require multiple valid API keys with access to specific features. As such, it is not expected that these tests will pass for every user in every environment.

To run integration tests:

`bash
$ LOB_API_LIVE_KEY=<> LOB_API_LIVE_KEY=<< API KEY 2>> npm run test:integration
`

#### A cleaner alternative if you are going to run integration tests frequently

Run this the first time:

`bash
$ echo "LOB_API_LIVE_KEY=<>\nLOB_API_LIVE_KEY=<< API KEY 2>>" > LOCAL.env
`

Then, to run the integration tests:

`bash
$ env $(cat LOCAL.env) npm run test:integration
``
