Address validation

Hi,

Is there any way to put an address validation on the address fields?

I don’t mean the Google places add-on, because that just shows the address while you type if I’m correct?

Thanks,
Nathan

Hello @natedanielz

To validate an address, you should compare it with a third-party service, a database, etc. The plugin includes the Google Places add-on to facilitate the entering address process but does not validate it.

A possible alternative would be to use the DISTANCE operation. If you use the DISTANCE operation to get the distance between a known address and the address entered by the user and it returns a number, you can ensure that at least the user entered an existing address.

Best regards.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I’m going to look into it.

One last question. Is it possible that with certain validation plugins/API’s to integrate it into CFF?

I’m pretty clueless to address validation, so before I’m going to do extensive research and try things out I would want to know if that’s even possible.

Regards,
Nathan

Hello @natedanielz

If you want to validate the address entered by the user with a third-party service, you can implement a server-side equation that calls the service, or you can use the cffProxy operation on the client-side. More information about both alternatives by reading the following posts in the plugin’s blog:
