A tiny (~1.6KB), universal, zero-dependency localized address formatter for postal addresses.

This package uses address metadata from Google's Address Data Service to format postal addresses from all over the world.

  city: "Kingston",
  addressLines: ["132, My Street"],
  postalCode: "12401",
  countryCode: "US",
});

/* 
	["Mr John Smith",
	"132, My Street",
	"Kingston, New York 12401"]

import { formatAddress } from "tinyaddress";

const address = formatAddress(
  {
