Continents & countries: **ISO 3166-1 alpha-2** code (with **alpha-2** to **alpha-3** set), name, **ISO 639-1** languages, capital and **ISO 4217** currency codes, native name, calling codes.

Lists are available in JSON, CSV and SQL formats.

Also, contains separate JSON files with additional country **Emoji** flags data.

## Version 3.0: Breaking changes

Version 3 comes with some data structure changes.

It was completely reworked under the hood with **TypeScript**, **ESM** exports and **Turborepo** file structure.

Everything is strongly typed so you can easily use data with auto-complete in your IDE.

**Note**: If your projects depend on the old structure, carefully specify required versions in your dependencies.

## Installation

Package is available via:

- **NPM** `npm install countries-list`

- **Composer / Packagist** `composer require annexare/countries-list`

## Usage (version 3.x)

Module exports `continents`, `countries`, `languages` and utility functions.

```ts

// Interfaces and types

import type {

  ICountry,

  ICountryData,

  ILanguage,

  TContinentCode,

  TCountryCode,

  TLanguageCode,

} from 'countries-list'

// Main data and utils

import { continents, countries, languages } from 'countries-list'

// Utils

import { getCountryCode, getCountryData, getCountryDataList, getEmojiFlag } from 'countries-list'

// Minimal data in JSON

import countries2to3 from 'countries-list/minimal/countries.2to3.min.json'

import countries3to2 from 'countries-list/minimal/countries.3to2.min.json'

import languageNames from 'countries-list/minimal/languages.native.min'

getCountryCode('Ukraine') // 'UA'

getCountryCode('Україна') // 'UA'

getCountryData('UA') // ICountryData

```

Built files are in the `dist` directory of this repository, and `packages/countries` directory contains source data.

**Note**: JS build contains ES modules, CommonJS and IIFE (for now)

- CJS `cjs/index.js`

- ESM `mjs/index.js`

- IIFE `index.iife.js`

## Data structure examples

```ts

const continents = {

  AF: 'Africa',

  AN: 'Antarctica',

  AS: 'Asia',

  EU: 'Europe',

  NA: 'North America',

  OC: 'Oceania',

  SA: 'South America',

}

const countries = {

  // ...

  UA: {

    name: 'Ukraine',

    native: 'Україна',

    phone: [380],

    continent: 'EU',

    capital: 'Kyiv',

    currency: ['UAH'],

    languages: ['uk'],

  },

  // ...

}

const languages = {

  // ...

  uk: {

    name: 'Ukrainian',

    native: 'Українська',

  },

  ur: {

    name: 'Urdu',

    native: 'اردو',

    rtl: 1,

  },

  // ...

}

```
