## Installation
Install via NPM:
```bash
npm install use-postal-ph
```
Or via Yarn:
```bash
yarn add use-postal-ph
```
## Usage
To start using the `use-postal-ph` library, follow these steps:
```typescript
import usePostalPH from 'use-postal-ph';
```
You can now utilize the library's methods to retrieve postal code, municipality, location, and region information.
```typescript
const postalPH = usePostalPH();
// Fetch a list of municipalities
const municipalities = postalPH.fetchMunicipalities();
console.log(municipalities);
// Fetch postal codes
const postalCodes = postalPH.fetchPostCodes();
console.log(postalCodes);
// Fetch locations
const locations = postalPH.fetchLocations();
console.log(locations);
// Fetch regions
const regions = postalPH.fetchRegions();
console.log(regions);
// Fetch all data lists
const dataLimit = postalPH.fetchDataLists();
console.log(dataLimit);
```
You can also specify search criteria and limit the number of results returned:
```typescript
// Fetch a list of municipalities starting with 'Manila' and limit the result to 10
const municipalities = postalPH.fetchMunicipalities({search: 'Manila', limit: 10});
console.log(municipalities);
// Fetch postal code for 6045
const postalCodes = postalPH.fetchPostCodes({search: 6045});
console.log(postalCodes);
// Fetch postal codes with a limit of 5
const postalCodesLimit = postalPH.fetchPostCodes({limit: 5});
console.log(postalCodesLimit);
// Fetch locations containing 'Cebu' and limit the result to 3
const locations = postalPH.fetchLocations({search: 'Cebu', limit: 3});
console.log(locations);
// Fetch regions starting with 'NCR' and limit the result to 8
const regions = postalPH.fetchRegions({search: 'NCR', limit: 8});
console.log(regions);
// Fetch all data lists with a limit of 15
const dataLimit = postalPH.fetchDataLists({limit: 15});
console.log(dataLimit);
// Fetch data based on the search criteria
const dataList = postalPH.fetchDataLists({
post_code: 6045,
location: "Talisay",
region: "VII",
municipality: "Cebu"
});
console.log(dataList);
```

## Importing Types
You can also import specific types provided by use-postal-ph:
```typescript
import type {PlaceProps, SearchCriteriaProps, PlaceListCriteriaProps} from "use-postal-ph";
```
## Type Definitions
Here are the type definitions provided by `use-postal-ph`:
```typescript
export type PlaceDataProps = {
data: PlaceProps[];
};
export type PlaceProps = {
municipality?: string;
location?: string;
post_code?: number | string;
region?: string;
};
export type SearchCriteriaProps = {
search?: number | string;
limit?: number;
};
export type PlaceListCriteriaProps = PlaceProps & {
limit?: number;
};
```
## Query Options
When using the library's methods, you have the option to include an object containing parameters for more specific
queries:
- **search**: This parameter is used to find specific information. For postal codes, search directly for the code
itself. You can also search for municipalities, locations, and regions based on your query.
- **limit**: This parameter restricts the number of results returned for municipalities, locations, and regions.
However, it does not affect the results when searching for postal codes.
- **municipality**: Search by the name of the municipality.
- **post_code**: Search by the postal code.
- **location**: Search by the specific district or neighborhood.
- **region**: Search by the region where the place is located.
## ECMAScript Module (ESM) Entry Point
If you prefer not to install the package and want to include the ECMAScript module (ESM) entry point directly in your
project, you can use the following script tag:
- CDN (
jsDelivr): [`https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/index.mjs`](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/index.mjs)
- NPM: [`https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/index.mjs`](https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/index.mjs)
Import Statement:
```html
import usePostalPH from 'https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/index.mjs';
const {
fetchDataLists,
fetchLocations,
fetchMunicipalities,
fetchPostCodes,
fetchRegions
} = usePostalPH();
console.log(fetchPostCodes({search: "6045"}))
```
This script imports the `fetchPostCodes` function from the `use-postal-ph` package and retrieves information for the
postal code '6045'. It then logs the result to the console.
```json
{
"location": "Cebu",
"region": "VII",
"municipality": "Talisay",
"post_code": 6045
}
```
