# Country List TS

This repository is based from the list of countries provided by [mledoze/countries](https://github.com/mledoze/countries). 

It provides various compiled lists, mapped lists and tagged list of the property values. You can also search for a country based on the values in the property.

>⚠ Warning: 
>
>Not all entities in this project are independent countries; refer to the independent property to know if the
country is considered a sovereign state.

## Usage

### List

Get list of country record member.

#### Simple list
```typescript
import {ls} from "country-list-ts";

const c = await ls('capital'); // ordered by country name

// Output:
// ["Oranjestad","Kabul","Luanda","The Valley","Mariehamn","Tirana", ... ]
````

It's the same as :

```typescript
import {capitals} from "country-list-ts";

const c = (await capitals()).sort(); // reorder alphabetically
// Output: 
// ['Abu Dhabi', 'Abuja', 'Accra', 'Adamstown', 'Addis Ababa', ... ]
```

| function call           | alias                    |

| `ls("cca2")`            | `cca2s()`                |
| `ls("tld") `            | `tlds()`                 |

| `ls("cioc")`            | `ciocs()`                |
| `ls("countryStatus")`   | `countryStatuses()`      |
| `ls("commonName") `     | `commonNames()`          |
| `ls("officialName") `   | `officialNames()`        |
| `ls("currencyCode")`    | `currencyCodes()`        |
| `ls("currencyName")`    | `currencyNames()`        |
| `ls("currencySymbol")`  | `currencySymbols()`      |
| `ls("region")`          | `regions()`              |
| `ls("subRegion")`       | `subRegions()`           |
| `ls("capital")`         | `capitals()`             |

#### Tagged lists
```typescript
import {lsF} from "country-list-ts";

const currencies = await lsF("currencies");

// Output:
// [
//  { "currencies":{"AWG":{"name":"Aruban florin","symbol":"ƒ"}},"cca2":"AW"},
//  { "currencies":{"AFN":{"name":"Afghan afghani","symbol":"؋"}},"cca2":"AF"},
//   ...
//]

```
Here is an example with Angular ngFor:
````typescript
@Component({
  selector: 'app-select-country',
  template: '<select> ' +
          '<option *ngFor="let country of $countryList | async" [ngValue]="country.cca2">' +
          '{{country.name.official}}' +
          '</option> ' +
          '</select>',
  styleUrls: ['./select-country.scss']
})
export class SelectCountryComponent {
  public $countryList = lsF(); // default list name
}
````

#### Mapped list
```typescript
import {lsM} from "country-list-ts";
const gps = await lsM("latLng");
// Output:
// {"AW":[12.5,-69.96666666],"AF":[33,65],"AO":[-12.5,18.5],"AI":[18.25,-63.16666666],....]
```

Note, for tagged and mapped lists the available property values are:
<p>
name, tld, ccn3, cca3, cioc, independent, idd, countryStatus, currencies, region, subRegion, capitals, languages, translations, latLng, landlocked, borders, area, flag, demonyms, callingCodes
</p>

### All
You can get a list of all the country data:

```typescript
import {all} from "country-list-ts";

/**
 * @var {Country[]}
 */
const countries = await all();
```

### Search

You can search for a country using the property name:

```typescript
import {find} from "country-list-ts";

/**
 * @var {Country}
 */
const haiti = await find("name.common", "Haiti") ;
const {capital} = await find("name.common", "Canada"); // ["Ottawa"]
```
The `find` frunction returns the first Country that satisfies the search value. To get a list use `get`

```typescript
import {get} from "country-list-ts";

/**
 * @var {Country[]}
 */
const tropicals = await get("region", "Caribbean") ;
```

Both `find` and `get` are memoized;

### Assets

#### Flags


#### Geo-JSON

#### Topo-JSON

## Extend
For specific use case you can combine it with othe libraries:

### Fuzzy search

[Fuse.js](https://fusejs.io/) is a powerful, lightweight fuzzy-search library, with zero dependencies.

Generally speaking, fuzzy searching (more formally known as approximate string matching) is the technique of finding strings that are approximately equal to a given pattern (rather than exactly

You can use FuseJS for country list suggestion/TypeHead input

````javascript
import {all} from "country-list-ts";
import Fuse from 'fuse.js';

const countries = await all();

const fuse = new Fuse(countries, {
  keys: ['cca2', 'cca3', 'name.common']
})

const found = fuse.search('hait');

// Output:
// [
//   {
//     item: {
//        {
//         ...
//         "tld": [".ht"],
//         "cca2": "HT",
//         ...
//        }
//     },
//     refIndex: 0
//   },
// ...
// ]
````

### Phone number
[libphonenumber-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/libphonenumber-js) is a simpler and smaller rewrite of Google Android's  libphonenumber library in javascript.

See the [demo](https://catamphetamine.gitlab.io/libphonenumber-js/). 

You can use this library to get the country of a phone number:

```typescript
// my-file.ts

import parsePhoneNumber from 'libphonenumber-js';
import {find} from "country-list-ts";

function getCountryByPhonenumber(phone: string) {
  const phoneNumber = parsePhoneNumber(phone);

  if (phoneNumber) {
    return find("cca2", phoneNumber.country);
  }

  return undefined;
}

/**
 * @var {Country|undefined}
 */
const country = find("+50934524301");

console.log(country?.name?.common, country?.flag); // Haiti 🇭🇹

```
