.. _addresses: 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).
