How it Works​

  1. Add the library to your project. Your webpage should have pre-existing address input fields as well as an input field to host the finder
  2. Run initialisation code providing a reference to the Address Finder input and any other configuration.
  3. When initialising, Address Finder will perform a key check to determine whether it is usable. If the check fails, initialisation is aborted. Use the onCheckFailed callback to update your page for manual address entry.
  4. When initialised, Address Finder binds to the input field of your choice and renders a dropdown of address suggestion when the user starts typing.
