jaenee-cho / country-region-data Goto Github PK

This repo contains a static JSON file of country names, country short codes, country regions, and country region short codes. All country names and short codes are guaranteed to be unique. Similarly, all regions and region short codes within a single country are guaranteed to be unique.

I created this repo to house the raw data used for the country-region-selector, react-country-region-selector scripts. I didn't want to duplicate it in multiple places and hey, it seemed like this could be useful as a standalone repo.

See the data.json file for the data. The JSON is of the form:

[
  {
    "countryName":"Ecuador",
    "countryShortCode":"EC",
    "regions":[
      {
        "name":"Azuay",
        "shortCode":"A"
      },
      ...
    }
  },
  ... 
]

The state/prov abbreviations are not yet complete, so pull requests welcome! Regions that need ISO3166-2 codes can be identified by having a missing shortCode property for each region. You can find them by cloning the repo, then running:

npm install
grunt findIncomplete

That'll list all countries with regions that are missing region short codes. Wikipedia has a lot of the data listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

Before contributing a PR, please validate the JSON content (if you don't, Travis will catch it for you!). To do that, run the following on your command line:

npm install
grunt validate

That'll throw an error if the JSON is invalid or if some duplicate names were accidentally introduced. The error messages are pretty clear, I think.
