DESCRIPTION

Parses a string returning a normalized Address object. When the string is not an US address it returns nil.

This is a port of the perl module Geo::StreetAddress originally written by Schuyler D. Erle. This version was forked from https://github.com/street-address-rb/street-address

Ruby Version

StreetAddress version 2+ is designed to work with ruby 2+. It may work with ruby 1.9.3, but will not work with ruby 1.8.x. If you need this to work pre ruby 2.0 please use gem version 1.0.6 or below. Versions 3 is currently tested against ruby 2.4.1

Installation

    gem install StreetAddress

then in your code

    require 'street_address'

or from Gemfile

    gem 'StreetAddress', :require => "street_address"

Basic Usage

    require 'street_address'

    address = StreetAddress::US.parse("1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC, 20500")
    address.street # Pennsylvania
    address.number # 1600
    address.postal_code # 20500
    address.city # Washington
    address.state # DC
    address.state_name # District of columbia
    address.street_type # Ave
    address.intersection? # false
    address.to_s # "1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC 20500"
    address.to_s(:line1) # 1600 Pennsylvania Ave

    address = StreetAddress::US.parse("1600 Pennsylvania Ave") 
    address.street # Pennsylvania
    address.number # 1600
    address.state # nil

    address = StreetAddress::US.parse("5904 Richmond Hwy Ste 340 Alexandria VA 22303-1864")
    address.postal_code_ext # 1846
    address = StreetAddress::US.parse("5904 Richmond Hwy Ste 340 Alexandria VA 223031864")
    address.postal_code_ext # 1846

Stricter Parsing

    address = StreetAddress::US.parse_address("1600 Pennsylvania Avenue")
    # nil - not enough information to be a full address
    
    address = StreetAddress::US.parse_address("1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC, 20500")
    # same results as above
