Configuring Address Types for Face-to-Face Appointments

When the appointment type is selected as face-to-face (F2F), different address types can be configured: "lat-long," "open text," and "select." Depending on the chosen address type, the input fields for addresses will vary.

class AppointmentView(AppointmentBaseView):
    address_type = "lat-long"  # Options: "lat-long", "open", "select"
    
    def get_address_values(self):
        '''
        In case of address type is 'select', override this method to return a list of address tuples.
        Each tuple should contain a unique identifier and the corresponding address.
        Example: [('xxxx-xxxx-xxxx', "A2, HSR Layout, Bengaluru")]
        '''
        return []

Explanation:

  1. Address Type "lat-long":

    • When "lat-long" is selected, the address input will display fields for latitude and longitude to pinpoint the exact location on a map.

  2. Address Type "open text":

    • Selecting "open" allows users to enter the complete address in a text field, providing flexibility for detailed address input.

  3. Address Type "select" (for Participant Addresses):

    • To fetch participant addresses for selection in face-to-face appointments, override the get_address_values function.
    • Modify this function to retrieve address details from the participant model based on how addresses are stored.
    • Ensure that the function returns a list of tuples. Each tuple should include a unique identifier and the corresponding address value for selection.

By outlining these address types and customizing the get_address_values function, you can configure how participant addresses are managed and displayed in face-to-face appointments based on the selected address type.
