Address format

How an address is written for reading, on an order page, a receipt or a label: address.format in the rules.

CODE

{first_name} {last_name}
{line1}
{line2}
{city} {state} {postcode}
{country}

On an envelope, the city and state/territory are written in capitals.

Example

A real address in Australia, from address.example, written with the format and the state by its name:

CODE

John Citizen
Parliament House
Parliament Drive
Canberra Australian Capital Territory 2600
Australia

State/territory

The form submits the code, which is what an order stores; the name is what the shopper reads, in their language.

Code	Name
`ACT`	Australian Capital Territory
`NSW`	New South Wales
`NT`	Northern Territory
`QLD`	Queensland
`SA`	South Australia
`TAS`	Tasmania
