Messages

Address Lookup uses a small default set of messages to communicate specific events to the user. All of Address Lookup's default messages can be overridden. They are outlined below:

Initial Message​

msgInitial

Displays when the Address Lookup is opened and the input field is empty.

Defaults to "Start typing to find address"

Accessibility (Screen Reader) Message​

msgList

The aria-label assigned to the address suggestion list. This message will only be picked up by screen readers.

Defaults to "Select your address"

No Match​

msgNoMatch

Displays when no suggestions could be found for the query.

Defaults to "No matches found"

Unhide Label​

msgUnhide

Displayed to the user if Address Fields have been hidden. It is shown as a clickable element to trigger manual address entry.

Defaults to "Enter address manually"

Fallback Message​

msgFallback

Show when Address Lookup is unable for any reason (e.g. key is not available).

Defaults to "Please enter your address manually"

Accessibility

Keep in mind these messages are also important for users who rely on the screen-reader. When altering the message be sure that the necessary meaning and intent is understandable to visually impaired users who will be getting audio cues from their screen-reader.
