Address Finder

Installation

This integration works by adding our Address Validation tools using CFFs's form editor. Below are the instructions to add Postcode Lookup or Address Finder.

Create Address Inputs

Add address input fields to your form. Use the form editor's Single Line Text. A basic address form to capture a correct UK address should have the following fields:

• Address line one (required)
• Address line two
• Address line three
• Post town (required)
• Postcode (required)

You can optionally include additional fields, which are documented in the PAF documentation page.

Add Address Finder

Install and Initialise Plugin

Add the form's shortcode on the page.

Create a html block and add the two script tags at the bottom of your form to load the plugin and then to initialise it.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ideal-postcodes/address-finder-bundled"></script>

<script>
  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
    IdealPostcodes.AddressFinder.watch({
      apiKey: "ak_test",
      outputFields: {
        line_1: 'input[name="fieldname3_1"]',
        line_2: 'input[name="fieldname7_1"]',
        line_3: 'input[name="fieldname6_1"]',
        post_town: 'input[name="fieldname5_1"]',
        postcode: 'input[name="fieldname4_1"]'
      }
    });
  });
</script>

You can optionally override CSS styles in the form editor. E.g.

<style>
  @media only screen and (min-width: 641px) {
    ul.idpc_ul { 
      min-width: 0 !important;
      width: calc(50% - 8px);
    }
  }
</style>

caution

Take special care to:

1. Insert your API Key in the apiKey field
2. Match the names of your target fields. If your Address Line One has the fieldname tag fieldname3, ensure that line_1 reads fieldname3_1

If you wish to add an additional field, include the parameter name from our documentation. For instance, adding a county field with name county will look like:

outputFields: {
  line_1: 'input[name="fieldname1_1"]',
  line_2: 'input[name="fieldname2_1"]',
  line_3: 'input[name="fieldname3_1"]',
  post_town: 'input[name="fieldname4_1"]',
  postcode: 'input[name="fieldname5_1"]'
  uprn: 'input[name="fieldname6_1"]'
}
