## Libraries <a href="#libraries-4" id="libraries-4"></a>

### Address Elements <a href="#address-elements-5" id="address-elements-5"></a>

Address Elements works by targeting the input elements of your address form and using their values with Lob's **verification** and **autocomplete** functionality.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %}
[![](https://static.helpjuice.com/helpjuice_production/uploads/upload/image/9583/direct/1647371919748-github-svgrepo-com.svg)](https://github.com/lob/address-elements) [address-elements](https://github.com/lob/address-elements)

**Registration**

Create an account at [Lob.com](https://dashboard.lob.com/#/register) to obtain a **Live Public API Key**. The key is available in the [Lob settings panel](https://dashboard.lob.com/#/settings) and uses the format, `live_pub_*`.

**Usage**

Embed the Lob Address Elements script immediately before the closing tag in the HTML containing your address form. The script will autodetect your form and its inputs.

```
<script src="https://cdn.lob.com/lob/address-elements/2.2.1/address-elements.min.js" data-lob-key="live_pub_xxx">
```

Learn more at the [address-elements](https://www.github.com/lob/address-elements) repository on GitHub.

{% tab title="React" %}
[![](https://static.helpjuice.com/helpjuice_production/uploads/upload/image/9583/direct/1647461208700-npm-svgrepo-com.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@lob/react-address-autocomplete) [react-address-autocomplete](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@lob/react-address-autocomplete)

This is a very lightweight component that uses the Lob Autocomplete API in order to simplify the process of adding in a search autocomplete bar or form. Check out the Autocomplete API for more configuration options in [Lob documentation](https://docs.lob.com/#operation/autocompletion).

**Installation**

```
npm install --save @lob/react-address-autocomplete
```

Learn more at the [react-address-autocomplete](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@lob/react-address-autocomplete) NPM repository.
