+#### Manually setting short_name / long_name
+
+Sometimes you want to use the `short_name` instead of the `long_name` or vice-versa.
+For example in the case of `country` it is helpful to get the iso code (`short_name`) to store it in your database.
+
+You can do so by passing an object to the component.
+
+**Note:** At this moment it is only possible to pass a complete object to the component. So it's not possible to override just specific address-components.
