Node and Grunt

This release saw big improvements in the tooling with the introduction of Grunt for the front-end build tasks. Among other things this includes:

• JS component concatenation and minification.
• LESS compilation and CSS minification.

Tokens

Significant changes were also made to the auth-token management.

• When performing a demo search, the token is no longer hardcoded and must be passed in the query string.
• When the API search methods are called, the Auth-Token is now set as an HTTP header.

Other improvements

Other changes in this release include:

• Added in "Search again" button.
• Position the "use address entered" option at the bottom of the picklist outside the scroll.
• Handle keyboard navigation and selection.
• Show a spinner in the input field whilst searching.
• Disable autocomplete on the form.
• Published more events.
• Manual address entries are now split into lines using comma delimiter.
• Handling unauthorised requests (invalid token) by allowing manual entry.

v0.3.0 - Matterhorn

Notable new features include:

(Simple) Styling of example pages

• A single form page
• And a page with two forms

Events

The code can now publish/trigger events that the integrators can listen/subscribe to. Currently the only events that the code publishes are:

• formatting-search - before the format URL is called to get the final address
• formatted-address - after the format URL is called and the final address is being rendered

An example of subscribing to these events would be:
address.events.on("formatting-search", function(){ document.querySelector(".loader").classList.remove("hidden"); });

"Edit address"

After a formatted address is returned an "Edit address" link is shown enabling manual edit of each of the address lines.

As well as the following other updates:

• Creating the picklist container dynamically
• Creating the formatted address container dynamically
• Hidden inputs to store the formatted address that can be posted back to the server
• Inclusion of a customisable 'take' parameter for controlling the picklist size

v0.2.0 - K2

Complete re-write to support multiple instances using a constructor function. In other words, more than one address form on the same page.

This changes invocation from:
contactDataServices.init(options);
to:
var address = new ContactDataServices.address(options);

Also, the following has been dropped:

• "Caching" - this was only happening on each page request
• Merge settings - the base object is now built up from the user's options

• AUS, FRA and NZL country support
