Validate Address in Firestore

This extension validates and standardizes addresses in your Firestore documents in real-time.

On install, you will be asked to provide a target Firestore collection. When documents are created or updated within that collection, a Cloud Function is trigged that calls the Address Validation API to do the following:

• Check whether the value at the address field is valid or not, and store the result in the addressValidity field.
• If the address is valid, standardize the address field (field name is configurable).

For example, the following document:

{
    …,
    address: {
        addressLines: ["1600 Amphitheatre Parkway"],
        regionCode: "US",
        locality: "Mountain View",
    }
}

Will be transformed into the following document:

{
    …,
    address: {
        line1: "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway",
        city: "Mountain View",
        region: "CA",
        postalCode: "94043",
        country: "US"
    },
    addressValidity: true
}
