README

Address lookup using LINZ Address Data.

Use the 0.0.x tags for SilverStripe 3 installations. SilverStripe 4 support will be handled from versions 0.1.x.

Installation

Add the repository to your composer.json file

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "git@github.com:elliot-sawyer/silverstripe-nzstreets.git"
        }
    ]

Add the project to the require section of composer.json

    "require": {
    ...
        "elliot-sawyer/nzstreets": "^0.1"
    ...

Setup

Composer should place the repository in your webroot.

Create a new route in routes.yml. You can change address to any url_segment that meets your needs

SilverStripe\Control\Director:
  rules:
    'address//$Action/$ID/$Name': 'ElliotSawyer\NZStreets\NZStreetAddressController'

Download the CSV data source from https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/3353-nz-street-address/data/

This is a massive file (500+ MB once extracted) and contains over 1.9 million records. The supplied importer will work but it's very slow: you should only use it for a smaller subset of files, or as a last resort for the entire set. For the fastest results, sideload it using mysqladmin or a similar database tool.

Usage

This module was created to feed into an autosuggest address lookup and is suitable for that purpose.

You can now search for addresses that start with your query. For example:

The default limit is 10 results. You can override this in your config.yml:

ElliotSawyer\NZStreets\NZStreetAddressController:
  search_limit: 5

Each search result contains an AddressID. For more details about an address, you can query by that ID:

http://yoursite/address/details?AddressID=1579100

Sideloading

Build the table using the dev/build command. You can sideload the CSV file into MySQL with the following query:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/to/your/nz-street-address.csv'
INTO TABLE NZStreetAddress
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' 
ENCLOSED BY '"' 
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(WKT,AddressID,ChangeID,AddressType,UnitValue,AddressNumber,AddressNumberSuffix,AddressNumberHigh,WaterRouteName,WaterName,SuburbLocality,TownCity,FullAddressNumber,FullRoadName,FullAddress,RoadSectionID,Longitude,Latitude,@dummy,@dummy,@dummy,@dummy,@dummy,@dummy,ShapeX,ShapeY)
SET ClassName="ElliotSawyer\\NZStreets\\NZStreetAddress", LastEdited=NOW(), Created=NOW();
