django-postcodepy-proxy 0.0.1

simple Django app to make your backend serve as a proxy for postcode.nl REST-API

Django Postcode Proxy
=========================

Simple proxy class to integrate Dutch 'postcode/huisnr' address verification in your Django application.

Install
=========

$ pip install django-postcodepy-proxy


Quick start
-----------------

1. Add 'postcodepy_proxy' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::

INSTALLED_APPS= (
...
'postcodepy_proxy',
)

2. Add the config part for the proxy::

POSTCODEPY = {
"AUTH" : {
"API_ACCESS_KEY" : "<the key you got from postcode.nl>",
"API_ACCESS_SECRET" : "<the secret you got from postcode.nl>",
},
}

In your app ...
================

Derive a class from the *PostcodepyProxyView* class and implement your own logic like the 2 simple examples below for HTML and JSON rendering.

## Simple HTML rendering

from django.shortcuts import render

# Create your views here.

from postcodepy_proxy.views import PostcodepyProxyView
from postcodepy import postcodepy

class PCDemoHTMLView( PostcodepyProxyView ):
template_name = "postcodeproxy.html"

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
rv = super(PCDemoHTMLView, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs)
return render(request, self.template_name, rv)


## JSON rendering

Most likely is that you want JSON rendering for XHR-io in your application. Implement exception-handling that suits your needs.


from django.http import HttpResponse
from postcodepy.postcodepy import PostcodeError
import json

class PCDemoJSONView( PostcodepyProxyView ):
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
rv = None
try:
rv = super(PCDemoJSONView, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs)
except PostcodeError, e:
# Pass the exceptioninformation as response data
rv = e.response_data

return HttpResponse( json.dumps(rv), content_type="application/json")


## Route the requests

url(r'^jsonpostcode/(?P<postcode>[\d]{4}[a-zA-Z]{2})/(?P<houseNumber>[\d]+)/$', views.PCDemoJSONView.as_view() ),
url(r'^jsonpostcode/(?P<postcode>[\d]{4}[a-zA-Z]{2})/(?P<houseNumber>[\d]+)/(?P<houseNumberAddition>[A-Za-z]+)/$', views.PCDemoJSONView.as_view() ),
