Using format_address

Develop, Build & Integrate CMS Development

Hi,
I`m using the format_address to generate an array

{% set address_lines = format_address(
 QUOTE.hs_locale or 'en-us',
 {
 address: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address ? BUYER_COMPANY.address : '',
 address2: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address2 ? BUYER_COMPANY.address2 : '',
 city: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.city ? BUYER_COMPANY.city : '',
 state: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.state ? BUYER_COMPANY.state : '',
 zip: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.zip ? BUYER_COMPANY.zip : '',
 country: module.show_company_country and BUYER_COMPANY.country ? BUYER_COMPANY.country : ''
 }
 )
%}

<address style="font-style: normal">
 {% for line in address_lines %}
 {{line}} <br>
 {% endfor %}
</address>

This gives me this output.

Sample company

123 Sample Town, Suite 123
San Francisco, California 90000
United States

What i would like is the address2 to be on a 2nd line like this

Sample company

123 Sample Town,
Suite 123,
San Francisco, California 90000
United States

Is there a way to change the format_address function?

Hi,

Unfortunately, you have no way to change this, because it’s pre-formatted precisely to respect formatting conventions. If I were you, I would create my own table myself to control the display of the data.

Hey @JumpingKangaroo,

try this:

...
<address style="font-style: normal">
 {% for line in address_lines %}
 {{ line.address }}, <br>
 {% if line.address2 %}
 {{ line.address2 }}, <br>
 {% endif %}
 {{ line.city }}, {{ line.state }} {{ line.zip }}, <br>
 {{ line.coutry }}
 {% endfor %}
</address>

best,

Anton

Hi @Anton ,

Why would your example work? address_lines is a list of strings, not a list of objects. Or I’m missing something.

Your example works if he does this:

{% set address_lines = [{
 address: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address ? BUYER_COMPANY.address : '',
 address2: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address2 ? BUYER_COMPANY.address2 : '',
 city: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.city ? BUYER_COMPANY.city : '',
 state: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.state ? BUYER_COMPANY.state : '',
 zip: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.zip ? BUYER_COMPANY.zip : '',
 country: module.show_company_country and BUYER_COMPANY.country ? BUYER_COMPANY.country : ''
 }]
%}

Best,

Hey @sylvain_tirreau,

I’d say because when you’re looping through a list of strings the for-loop creates an object for each instace. Therefore the “set XYZ” info can be accessed in the actual loop.

Simple example:

{%- set breakpoints = {
 "sm" :"480", 
 "md" :"768", 
 "lg" :"1024",
 "xl" :"1400"
} 
-%}

by it self can be accessed via

{{breakpoints.sm}}

if you like to create a for-loop with all the individual infos, you have to write it like this:

{% for name, value in breakpoints.items() %}
@media screen and ({{value ~ "px" }}){
.some-class-{{ name }}{
/* some css */
}
}
{% endfor %}

The rendered output would be:

@media screen and (min-width:480px){
.some-class-sm{
/* some css */
}
}

@media screen and (min-width:768px){
.some-class-md{
/* some css */
}
}

@media screen and (min-width:1024px){
.some-class-lg{
/* some css */
}
}

@media screen and (min-width:1400px){
.some-class-xl{
/* some css */
}
}

best,

Anton

My comment was more about the initial variable (see the first message of this discussion) which was this:

{% set address_lines = format_address(
 QUOTE.hs_locale or 'en-us',
 {
 address: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address ? BUYER_COMPANY.address : '',
 address2: module.show_company_address and BUYER_COMPANY.address2 ? BUYER_COMPANY.address2 : '',
 city: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.city ? BUYER_COMPANY.city : '',
 state: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.state ? BUYER_COMPANY.state : '',
 zip: module.show_company_city_state_zip and BUYER_COMPANY.zip ? BUYER_COMPANY.zip : '',
 country: module.show_company_country and BUYER_COMPANY.country ? BUYER_COMPANY.country : ''
 }
 )
%}

Your code doesn’t work with this variable; you need to adapt it to make it work.

That was the whole point of my approach. :wink:

Best,

Hi Anton,

Thank you for the suggestion. This was the solution i had implemented after playing around with the code.
