How is this module different from Address module?

Created on 29 July 2020, over 4 years ago

Problem/Motivation

On a brief read of the project page, this module sounds like a duplicate effort from the Address module.

Not sure why we need 2 projects that provide the same functionality.

Proposed resolution

Consider merging efforts with Address module.
Otherwise, at least document the differences so site builders can make an informed decision about why they'd want to pick this one instead of the existing solution.

Remaining tasks

  1. Understand the differences.
  2. Consider merging efforts and removing a duplicate project.
  3. Otherwise, document the difference and why this project is here.

Thanks!

    Along with a some similarities in both the modules, there are difference also.Both the modules have separate use cases. I have tried to list down some of the major difference:-

    1)In country state and city field module we get the option of more countries(250) whereas in the address module we only have the dataset of 200 countries.

    2)The functionality of address module is different(if compared to country,states and city fields). there if we add the address field type while creating a content type, We are asked to insert the information of user(Which is useful if we use it in an E-commerce Platform)(We have the option to make the fields optional) whereas in the country, states and city field module, there is no role of the user information.

    3)Address module has an feature to work with the postal codes. It gives you option to include and exclude postal codes(which can be very useful for some cases).

    4)In this module the administrator can define the name of state and city anything as that depends upon the administrator.but in the address module one gets everything predefined.

    5)When creating a new content of Address field type using address module, after choosing the country there is no drop down for the list of cities. It might not provide a good user experience in some cases.
