This is a NodeJS wrapper for Perl extension Geo::StreetAddress::Canada.

Geo::StreetAddress::Canada is a regex-based street address and street intersection parser for Canada. Its basic goal is to be as forgiving as possible when parsing user-provided address strings. Geo::StreetAddress::Canada knows about directional prefixes and suffixes, fractional building numbers, building units, grid-based addresses, postal codes, and all of the official Canada Post abbreviations for street types, province names and secondary unit designators. Please note that this extension will only return data in English.

Dependencies

  • Node.js v6
  • Perl 5.24+

Usage

Install GeoStreetAddressCanada from npm

npm install --save geo-streetaddress-canada
