Country-specific Address Formats

[pyrog]

I would like to test existing Country Address Format. The goal is to create some for my country.

Could you give me some query/examples that display adresses in theses format ?

To my knowledge the configuration on that wiki page is not used (yet). Have a look at the configuration and test cases in https://github.com/lokku/address-formatting/ . Always looking for more test cases. To create pretty output you need a formatter which interprets the Nominatim data output. There is one written in Perl https://github.com/lokku/perl-Geo-Address-Formatter, somebody is working on Python and Javascript.

Indeed. If this feature ever gets implemented, it's much more likely to use the data from the lokku project.

Just to update this issue, the address-formatting repo has moved to https://github.com/OpenCageData/address-formatting

we now have 100% coverage and 86% of territories have at least one test. Slowly I am adding more, I expect 100% test coverage by 1 April 2016. Of course there are many, many edge cases, so more eyeballs and tests are definitely needed. All help much appreciated

FYI: iD uses a small lookup table based on country code, c.f. https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/master/data/address-formats.json

Why not use the same or a similar lookup table to generate a places' display_name attribute?

@lonvia, Apparently one implementation of this exists in PHP: https://github.com/predicthq/address-formatter-php, any good reason (except time ;-)) not to use it?
