How to verify addresses

Here is an example of how to verify addresses on Import. This hook example is formatted for Portal 2.0. 

import FlatfileImporter from "@flatfile/adapter";

import $ from "jquery";

import { schemas } from "./schemas";

const { contactSchema } = schemas;

// free SmartyStreets trial account limited to 1,000 lookups/month

const apiToken = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";

const importer = new FlatfileImporter(

"LICENSEKEY",

contactSchema

);

importer.setCustomer({

userId: "19234",

name: "Foo Bar"

});

importer.registerStepHook("review", ({ headers_matched }) => {

// review stephook happens right before the data goes to the review page

importer.addVirtualField(

{

label: "Valid Address?",

key: "validAddress",

type: "checkbox"

},

{

order: 6

}

);

});

importer.registerRecordHook(async (record, index, mode) => {

letout={};

// name splitting example: splits full names in the first name field

if(record.firstName&&!record.lastName){

if(record.firstName.includes("")){

constcomponents=record.firstName.split("");

out.firstName={ value:components.shift()};

out.lastName={ value:components.join("")};

}

}

if(record.address1&&record.city&&record.state&&record.zipCode){

constaddress=`street=${encodeURI(record.address1)}&street2=${encodeURI(

record.address2

)}&city=${encodeURI(record.city)}&state=${encodeURI(

record.state

)}&zipcode=${encodeURI(record.zipCode)}&key=${apiToken}`;

asyncfunctionmyFetch(){

try{

// make api call to smartystreets to validate address

letresponse=awaitfetch(

"https://us-street.api.smartystreets.com/street-address?license=us-core-cloud&"+

address,

{

method: "GET",

headers: {

"Content-Type":"application/json"

}

}

);

if(!response.ok){

thrownewError(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);

}else{

// We have a 2XX response from smartysteets

letmyRes=awaitresponse.json();

if(myRes.length>0){

// if payload exists, then address is valid

out.validAddress={ value:true};

}else{

// empty payload means invalid address

out.validAddress={ value:false};

}

}

}catch(e){

console.log(e);

}

}

awaitmyFetch();

}

returnout;

});

$("#launch").click(function () {

importer

.requestDataFromUser()

.then(function(results){

importer.displaySuccess("Thanks for your data.");

$("#raw_output").text(JSON.stringify(results.data,"",2));

})

.catch(function(error){

console.info(error||"window close");

});

});
