Civic Address Format

Formats a civic address from its pieces based on guidelines from Canada Post for properly addressing mail to Canadian and American addresses.

Includes Canadian postal code validation and formattings functions.

Features

• Typescript support.
• Places the unit number (when present) before the civic number with a hyphen in between.
• Uses no space when a single letter qualifier is present (i.e. '123A'), or one space for longer qualifiers (i.e. '123 1/2')
