Deprecated JS Library v2.0.1

This method has been deprecated. Please use current version for new implementations.

JavaScript client

JavaScript client is a JavaScript library that can be included on a web page, allowing website users to connect directly to the Harmony API services without any server-side processing requirements. For versions earlier than 1.8.0 please refer to the previous version of Harmony RightAddress JavaScript Client for code snippet.

For the best experience, we recommend you to use the latest versions of your favourite browsers.

As of version 1.3.0, the Harmony RightAddress JavaScript client can be configured to use either Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) or JSON with Padding (JSONP). CORS is preferable for modern browsers.
Please note that IE 11 will no longer be supported by Microsoft after August 17th, 2021.

</script>

Pre-requisites

Before you can use the Harmony RightAddress client, you must make sure you have:

An active Harmony RightAddress account
A Harmony RightAddress username and password for your domain
A proficiency in JavaScript

Getting the client

The versions of the JavaScript client can be downloaded using the following link:

harmony-2.0.1.min.js
For any earlier versions of client please contact us.

Initialising the client

Before making service requests, the client must be initialised. This is done by invoking the init method on the global Harmony object:

    Harmony.init({String} username, {String} password, {String} locale);

This method must be called before any other methods are invoked on the Harmony object.

    <script type="text/javascript">

        Harmony.init("webUser", "password", Harmony.AUSTRALIA);

    </script>

Setting the environment and protocol

During initialisation, the client environment is set to Production and the protocol is set to CORS. To use the Production environment or the JSONP protocol, the useEnv and useProtocol methods can be used.

    <script type="text/javascript">

        // Use the Production environment
        Harmony.useEnv(Harmony.ENV_PRODUCTION);

        // Use the JSONP protocol
        Harmony.useProtocol(Harmony.JSONP);

    </script>

Invoking service requests

Once the Harmony RightAddress client has been initialised, any methods available to the supplied user can be invoked. These methods are invoked using the global Harmony object.

The following example invokes the find method with the single-line address '1 abc street' in Canada. The callback method then output the addresses in a textarea with the id 'output':

    <script type="text/javascript">

        Harmony.init("webUser", "password", Harmony.AUSTRALIA);

        Harmony.v2.find({ fullAddress:"1 abc street" , country: "ca"}, null,
                function(response) {
                    var outputText = "";

                    // Check if the request was successful.
                    if (response == Harmony.SUCCESS) {

                        // Fill the output text with the single-line address results.
                        for (var i = 0; i < response.payload.length; i++) {
                            outputText += response.payload[i].fullAddress + "\n";
                        }

                    } else {

                        // Fill the output text with the error message(s).
                        for (var i = 0; i < response.messages.length; i++) {
                            outputText += response.messages[i] + "\n";
                        }

                    }

                    // Put the output text in the textarea (with id 'output')
                    document.getElementById("output").value = outputText;
                }
        );

    </script>

See the JavaScript client API v2.0.1 documentation for details on invoking the other Harmony API service methods.

JavaScript client API v2.0.1

The client library acts as a JavaScript wrapper for the Harmony RightAddress Services. The objects used by the library are JavaScript representations of those found in the Harmony RightAddress service API.

It is recommended to use the current Javascript Client Address lookup methods. However the previous version of JavaScript Client Address lookup methods is still available.
