Addresses
*********
Chill can store a list of geolocated address references, which are used to suggest address and ensure that the data is correctly stored.
Those addresses may be load from a dedicated source.
Countries
=========
In order to load addresses into the chill application we first have to make sure that a list of countries is present.
To import the countries run the following command.
.. code-block:: bash
bin/console chill:main:countries:populate
In France
=========
The address are loaded from the `BANO `_. The postal codes are loaded from `the official list of
postal codes `_
.. code-block:: bash
# first, load postal codes
bin/console chill:main:postal-code:load:FR
# then, load all addresses, by departement (multiple departement can be loaded by repeating the departement code
bin/console chill:main:address-ref-from-bano 57 54 51
In Belgium
==========
Addresses are prepared from the `BeST Address data `_.
Postal code are loaded from this database. There is no need to load postal codes from another source (actually, this is strongly discouraged).
The data are prepared for Chill (`See this repository `_).
One can select postal code by his first number (:code:`1xxx` for postal codes from 1000 to 1999), or a limited list for development purpose.
.. code-block:: bash
# load postal code from 1000 to 3999:
bin/console chill:main:address-ref-from-best-addresse 1xxx 2xxx 3xxx
# load only an extract (for dev purposes)
bin/console chill:main:address-ref-from-best-addresse extract
# load full addresses (discouraged)
bin/console chill:main:address-ref-from-best-addresse full
.. note::
There is a possibility to load the full list of addresses is discouraged: the loading is optimized with smaller extracts.
Once you load the full list, it is not possible to load smaller extract: each extract loaded **after** will not
delete the addresses loaded with the full extract (and some addresses will be present twice).
