order->getShippingAdress()->getCountry() returning NULL

[kornblumenapo]

I'll post ere my problems I am facing while programming extensions for Magento 2.2.

Maybe others have same problems in future, so they may save time I already spent for solving these problems.

order->getShippingAdress()->getCountry() returns NULL instead of country-ISO-Code.
order->getShippingAdress()->getCountryId()  works fine

Hi @kornblumenapo,

If I'm not worng that happens becasue the sales_order_address table stores only the country code.

If you want to get the country full data you could use this interface:

Magento\Directory\Api\CountryInformationAcquirerInterface

Then, if you use that interface on your constructor maybe you can get the information with:

/** @var \Magento\Directory\Api\Data\CountryInformationInterface $countryData  */
$countryData = $this->countryInformation->getCountryInfo($order->getShippingAddress()->getCountryId());

Now you can use something like:

$countryData->getFullNameLocale()

$countryData->getTwoLetterAbbreviation()

$countryData->getThreeLetterAbbreviation()
