address_format

address_format is compiled once at startup and rendered for each geocoded address. When it is empty (the default), {{addr}} is the provider-independent formattedAddress, built from the OpenCage address templates for the address's country.

Fields available in the template (all providers):

formattedAddress, displayName (Nominatim only), streetName, streetNumber, suburb, neighbourhood, city, town, village, county, state, zipcode, country, countryCode, flag

As well as all normal DTS helpers, two extra helpers are available:

• {{coalesce a b c}}: first non-empty argument.
• {{compactAddress}}: the PoracleJS/Photon compact layout, e.g. Mitte: Friedrichstrasse 42, Berlin.

[locale]
address_format = ""                                   # default: country-idiomatic formattedAddress
# address_format = "{{{streetName}}} {{streetNumber}}" # street line only (the old default)
# address_format = "{{{displayName}}}"                 # Nominatim's own display_name
# address_format = "{{compactAddress}}"                # PoracleJS-style compact address

Changed default

Older releases defaulted to "{{{streetName}}} {{streetNumber}}". If you relied on that street-only output, set it explicitly.
