Ghana post Nodejs Library
Ghana post has done tremendous work to develop such a robust product to uniquely give a digital address to every location across Ghana
This app runs on mobile (android, iOS) and web and so far works perfectly
The only problem i’ve with this service is their lack an API or SDKS for developers to easily integrate into their project. Personally I think people are underrating the capabilities of this service. Imagine how intuitive it will be if you log into a site to purchase an item and you are asked to provide your digital address for delivery instead redirection to google maps
Below is a solution provided to the problem above, a nodejs library the provides an interface for developers to programmatically interact with the ghanapost digital address system.

Usage

}

by default
