The name.formatter service documented on the module's home page looks great, but shouldn't it also be (and maybe it is?) possible to choose a format directly from a field, something that would look like this:

  $full_name = $node->get('field_name')->format('full');

And a version of that for Twig as well would be even nicer!

Title: Add/document choosing a format from code or twig » Add format method to NameItem.php
Component: Documentation » Code
Category: Support request » Feature request
Status: Active » Postponed

The closest you can get today is calling name.formatter yourself:

$formatted = \Drupal::service('name.formatter')
  ->format($node->get('field_name')->first()->filteredArray(), 'full');

filteredArray() (line 163 of NameItem.php) already returns only the components that are active for that field, so it's the right source. But you need to reach out to the service manually.

Twig
Templates like name-item.html.twig expose a pre-rendered formatted_name variable built during template_preprocess_name_item(), but that uses a fixed format chosen by the field formatter display settings. You can't ask for 'full' vs 'short' at template time. There is no Twig extension at all.

I am marking the issue as postponed because adding a new method should be done in a major release.
