Countriex

A pure elixir port of the ruby countries gem that provides all sorts of useful information about every country packaged as convenient little country structs. It includes data from ISO 3166 (countries and states/subdivisions), ISO 4217 (currency), and E.164 (phone numbers).

Installation

Add countriex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:countriex, "~> 1.0.2", github: "normancapule/countriex"}]
end

Usage

To get all country information:

Countriex.all

To get all countries sorted alphabetically:

Countriex.all_sort_by_alphabet

To get all state information:

Countriex.all_states

The get_by/2 method can be used to retrieve the first matching country for any given criteria, for example:

Countriex.get_by(:alpha2, "US")           # %Countriex.Country{name: "United States of America", alpha2: "US", alpha3: "USA", ...}
Countriex.get_by(:name, "United Kingdom") # %Countriex.Country{alpha2: "GB", alpha3: "GBR", ...}

The filter/2 method can be used to retrieve all countries matching the given criteria:

Countriex.get_by(:region, "Oceania") # [%Countriex.Country{name: "Kiribati", ...}, %Countriex.Country{name: "American Samoa", ...}, ...]
Countriex.get_by(:eu_member, true)   # [%Countriex.Country{name: "Luxembourg", ...}, %Countriex.Country{name: "Poland", ...}, ...]

The all_states/2 method can be used to retrieve all states for the given country:

country = Countriex.get_by(:alpha2, "US")
Countriex.all_states(country)

See the fields in the Countriex.Country and Countriex.State struct for all possible field names that can be used for the above methods.
