Javascript Library and CLI for the OpenAddresses API
JS Library
npm add '@openaddresses/lib'
CLI
npm add --global @openaddresses/lib
Note: if the username & password is not explicitly set, OA will fallback to checking for
a OA_USERNAME
& OA_PASSWORD
environment variable. For the url
parameter, be sure to include the protocol and (if necessary) port number.
Alternatively an API token can be provided via a OA_TOKEN
environment variable, or the server secret via the OA_SECRET
variable.
JS Library
import OA from '@openaddresses/lib';
const oa = new OA({
username: 'ingalls',
password: 'yeaheh',
url: 'http://example.openaddresses.io',
});
CLI
The CLI tool must be provided the URL to connect to for each subcommand. This can be accomplished by providing the URL to a local or remote OA server. Be sure to include the protocol and, for local connections, the port number.
# Connecting to a remote oa server
./cli.js --url 'https://example.openaddresses.io'
# Connecting to a local oa dev server
./cli.js --url 'http://localhost:5000'
