AusPost Postcode Autocomplete

Gives any text input an autocompleted list of Australian suburbs and postcodes using the Australia Post API.

Usage

jQuery('#location-search').ausPostAutocomplete({
	apiKey: 'XXX',
	yqlTable: 'http://example.com/url.headers.xml'
}).on('typeahead:select', function() {
	// The usual typeahead events apply
	console.log($(this).data());
});

Get an API key here: https://auspost.com.au/forms/pacpcs-registration.html

Requires jQuery and Twitter Typeahead Bundle (including Bloodhound and the jQuery plugin).

Uses a custom YQL table to add the API key header to the request. Upload the table to your site and point the yqlTable parameter to the URL.

Puts the selected item data into the jQuery data of the input. Get it with jQuery(field).data(). List of data attributes:

• location
• state
• postcode
• longitude
• latitude

A loading class is added to the input when the query is executing, so you can apply some sort of visual change to indicate to the user that a request is being made.

Todo

• Allow more overrides through the input args array (such as templates)
• Some kind of dynamic state restriction
