Address field

[r00dgirl]

to dos

• competitive research on address field
• user research on address field: how would form admins like to store and use address data today? for example would having the street name and unit number as separate fields cause operational difficulties for them?

considerations

• support generalisable address format as far as possible for other countries
• address filling should be easy for singapore based respondents. perhaps allow form admins to set default value (e.g. city=singapore, country=singapore)
• we know we would like zip code lookup for singapore

possibility

• generalisable address field composed of name, organisation name, street name, unit number, zip code, city, country
• zip code lookup config for singapore addresses only, in which case city and country are filled in with Singapore (feature manager)

FYI, here are six fields provided by MyInfo today, two of which are optional:

    // 1. building name (if available),
    // 2. block/street number,
    // 3. street,
    // 4. floor + unit (if available),
    // 5. country
    // 6. postal

[aniruddha-adhikary]

This should be a composite field - meaning essentially it would render multiple form fields.

Fields

This, in theory, the following layout should be able to cater to most addresses.

1. Country
2. Postal Code
3. Address Line 1
4. Address Line 2
5. City
6. State / Province

Automation Flow

1. When the user selects the Country, the form gets to be customized (i.e. Singapore specific postal code validation, showing/hiding the State field)
2. When the user enters the postal code, and the country is Singapore, we could autofill the Blk and Street Names, City Name. Autofocusing on Address Line 2 for the Unit and Floor number. (OneMap)

Transforming from MyInfo

FYI, here are six fields provided by MyInfo today, two of which are optional:

    // 1. building name (if available),
    // 2. block/street number,
    // 3. street,
    // 4. floor + unit (if available),
    // 5. country
    // 6. postal

1. Address Line 1 -> ${blk_number} ${street_name}
2. Address Line 2 -> ${building_name}, ${floor_number}-${unit_number}}
3. City -> ?
4. State / Province -> ``
5. Country -> ${country}
6. Postal Code -> ${postal_code}
