Overview

SwissMatch Deal with swiss zip codes, cities, communities and cantons.

Notice that all strings passed to SwissMatch are expected to be utf-8. All strings returned by SwissMatch are also in utf-8.

Examples:

Load the data

require 'swissmatch'
SwissMatch.load
# alternatively, just require 'swissmatch/autoload'

Get the ONRP for a given zip-code + city

require 'swissmatch/autoload'
SwissMatch.zip_code(8000, 'Zürich').ordering_number # =>

+ (Array<String>) cities_for_zip_code(code, only_types = nil, locale = nil)

A list of unique names matching the parameters (4 digit code, type, locale).

Parameters:

  • code (String, Integer) —

    The 4 digit zip code

  • only_types (nil, Array<Integer>) (defaults to: nil) —

    An array of zip code types (see ZipCode#type) which the returned zip codes must match.

  • locale (nil, Symbol) (defaults to: nil) —

    Return the names in the given locale, defaults to nil/:native (nil and :native are treated the same and will return the native names)

Returns:

  • (Array<String>) —

    A list of unique names matching the parameters (4 digit code, type, locale).

end

+ (SwissMatch::ZipCode) zip_code(code, city_or_add_on = nil)

Returns a single zip code. A zip code can be uniquely identified by any of:

  • Its ordering_number (ONRP, a 4 digit Integer)

  • Its zip code (4 digit Integer) and add-on (2 digit Integer)

  • Its zip code (4 digit Integer) and any official name (String)

The data can be passed in different ways, e.g. all numbers can be passed either as a String or as an Integer. The identification by zip code and add-on can be done by either using a combined 6 digit number (e.g. 800000 for “8000 Zürich”), or by passing 2 arguments, passing the zip code and the add-on separately.

IMPORTANT

You must be aware, that passing a single 4-digit code to SwissMatch::zip_code uses the ONRP, and NOT the zip-code. The 4 digit zip code alone does NOT uniquely identify a zip code.

Examples:

Get a zip code by ONRP

SwissMatch.zip_code(4384)           # => #<SwissMatch::ZipCode:003ff996cf8d3c 8000 Zürich>

Get a zip code by 4-digit code and add-on

SwissMatch.zip_code(8000, 0)        # => #<SwissMatch::ZipCode:003ff996cf8d3c 8000 Zürich>
SwissMatch.zip_code("8000", "00")   # => #<SwissMatch::ZipCode:003ff996cf8d3c 8000 Zürich>
SwissMatch.zip_code(800000)         # => #<SwissMatch::ZipCode:003ff996cf8d3c 8000 Zürich>
SwissMatch.zip_code("800000")       # => #<SwissMatch::ZipCode:003ff996cf8d3c 8000 Zürich>

Get a zip code by 4-digit code and name

SwissMatch.zip_code(8000, "Zürich") # => #<SwissMatch::ZipCode:003ff996cf8d3c 8000 Zürich>
SwissMatch.zip_code(8000, "Zurigo") # => #<SwissMatch::ZipCode:003ff996cf8d3c 8000 Zürich>

Parameters:

  • code (String, Integer) —

    The 4 digit zip code as Integer or String

  • city_or_add_on (String, Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    Either the 2 digit zip-code add-on as string or integer, or the city name as a String in utf-8.
