Search postcodes for Norway
===========================
This gem is a simple interface to the Norwegian postcode database published by Bring. It allows you to search for and retreive entries in the postcode database.
A rake task is included to fetch the actual postcode data as published by Bring.
Installation
------------
In your Gemfile, add the following:
gem 'postcodes-norway'
The run `bundle install` as usual.
Fetch the data:
rake postcodes:fetch[output_dir]
A file named "Postnummerregister_ansi.txt" will be placed in the specified `output_dir`.
Usage
-----
Initialize the library:
require 'postcodes-norway'
PostCodes.load('output_dir/Postnummerregister_ansi.txt')
Query for some postcodes:
p = PostCodes.search(1326)
puts p.city # => "LYSAKER"
puts p.municipality_name # => "BÆRUM"
puts p.county # => [2, "AKERSHUS"]
p1 = PostCodes.search('0666')
puts p1.city # => "OSLO"
puts p1.municipality_name # => "OSLO"
puts p1.county # => [3, "OSLO"]
