addrtozip

API for finding zipcode in Taiwan

This package is reference from mosky .

Installation

$ npm install addrtozip

Usage

####First you have to require the package.

var addrtozip = require('addrtozip');

Send an address to query zipcode.

addr: Required. An address for finding zipcode

callback: Required. Callback will return a json contain zipcode and address.

addrtozip.find(addr, callback);

Example

var addrtozip = require('addrtozip');
addrtozip.find('台北市信義區市府路45號', function (zipcode){
  console.log(zipcode);
}

And you will get a json data, like this.

{ "zipcode": '11001', "addr": '台北市信義區市府路45號' }

Gradual

A legal address contain city(縣市), area(鄉鎮市區), street(路街巷弄號), and exclude village(村里) and neighborhood(鄰). We also can find informal zipcode gradually, but that will reduce the precision.

var addrtozip = require('addrtozip');
addrtozip.find('台北市', function (zipcode){
  // { zipcode: '1', addr: '台北市' }
}
addrtozip.find('台北市信義區', function (zipcode){
  // { zipcode: '110', addr: '台北市信義區' }
}
addrtozip.find('台北市信義區市府路', function (zipcode){
  // { zipcode: '110', addr: '台北市信義區市府路' }
}
addrtozip.find('台北市信義區市府路45號', function (zipcode){
  // { zipcode: '11001', addr: '台北市信義區市府路45號' }
}
