Does your jQuery plugin for LiveAddress API return DPV data?
Question
Last Updated: March 15, 2013
Can I get the DPV data (specifically the dpv_match_code
) by using your jQuery plugin for website forms?
Answer
Yep! With a little standard Javascript know-how, you can hook into the address validation process directly and do your own stuff. Precisely how to do that is fully documented. You can either hook into the events, or perform a validation request manually (without a UI) and supply a callback function.
Either way you do it, the plugin will hand you a Response
object. For example, you can use
response.raw
to access the pure JSON results of the API, or call any of several wrapper functions like
response.isMissingSecondary()
to help you along.
