Help: append countryCode as country

[sweidac]

Hi again 👋 ,

I played around a little but couldn't find a way to use the country-code instead of the country inside the formatted adress.
There is one similar case in the examples, but that is using { abbreviate: true, countryCode: 'UK' } which replaces 7 countries, depending on src/templates/abbreviations.json (at least I'm assuming that).

I'd want to avoid the path of replacing the country inside the formatted address.

hi, that's what the abbreviate: true does. It uses additional configuraiton from the file. Can you describe more what would be your expected result? I'd need to take a look back at the code to understand what it's supposed to do and why it does what it does and not what you expect it to do.

I'd want the spelled out country to be abbreviated with it's countryCode:

it('first', () => {
  const formatted = addressFormatter.format({
    "houseNumber": 301,
    "road": "Hamilton Avenue",
    "neighbourhood": "Crescent Park",
    "city": "Palo Alto",
    "postcode": 94303,
    "county": "Santa Clara County",
    "state": "California",
    "country": "United States of America",
    "countryCode": "US",
  }, {
    useCountryCodeInsteadOfCountry: true
  });

  expect(formatted).toBe(
`301 Hamilton Avenue
Palo Alto, CA 94303
USA
`);

// instead of 
expect(formatted).not.toBe(
`301 Hamilton Avenue
Palo Alto, CA 94303
United States of America
`);
});
