##BpostAddressAutoComplete

##Description
BpostAddressAutoComplete is an AngularJs implementation of the Address Auto Complete Service, which makes use of the Web Services @bpost.be to validate addresses and offer suggestions of addresses based on user input which may be incorrect or incomplete.


##Modules
* bp-address-auto-complete (core): a collection of angularjs directives, which includes the address auto complete input search bar and the list of suggestions.
* bp-Address-Auto-Complete-Wrapper: the main wrapper directive, displays the output from the core directive on every user input (‘Please fill in a house number …’)
* bp-address-auto-complete-demo-page-extern: the Demo page includes the aac wrapper with some parameterized options available to the user to:
* change the environment endpoints
* set the minimum level of validation
* some prefilled parameters which allow the user to fill in the search bar with prefilled values.

Usage

* Simply copy the files found in the dist folders of the vendor modules
bp-address-auto-complete, and bp-address-auto-complete-wrapper
and include them into the page.

The files to copy are bp-address-auto-complete.js, bp-address-auto-complete.css,
bp-address-auto-complete-wrapper.js and bp-address-auto-complete-wrapper.css.

For conveniency they can be copied into distinct folders.
* As an example the bp-address-auto-complete-demo-page-extern module is provided.

Api keys

The autocomplete and validateAddress urls will need API keys. i.e, A http requst header called x-api-key needs to be added in the http request. apiKey is added as a scope variable for directive bp-address-auto-complete and bp-address-validator.
Please request addressvalidation@bpost.be to generate a API key for your application.

* On command prompt cd to the current directory of the module
* Run grunt package to package your static assets for deployment.
* Your package will be generated in a dist folder and your javascripts and stylesheets will be concatenated, minified and versionned.
* grunt : launches grunt package. Use this task for continuous integration.


When the grunt will be launched on bp-address-auto-complete-demo-page-extern module
where the static localhost server will be launched,
then changes will be automatically distributed on the dist folders of that module.

Deployment

This concerns the module bp-address-auto-complete-demo-page-extern

* On command prompt cd to the current directory of the module bp-address-auto-complete-demo-page-extern
* Run grunt to start a static web server and open your browser Live
* jshint and/or csslint will be running on your files when they change.
* With every change done on the other modules bp-address-auto-complete and bp-address-auto-complete-wrapper and running grunt on these modules,
the changes are automatically distributed on the corresponding vendor folders of the bp-address-auto-complete-demo-page-extern module.
