Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

NPM NPM

Collection of 231 countries with detailed, information, such a, 'languages', 'currencies', 'provinces', 'timezones' and etc. even link to "wiki". You can fetch only that fields which you need in specific country only or all together.

data structure

Also you have two way how to use this package:

  1. simple use, just import one function and fetch only that data which you need.
  2. for advanced users, graphQL

Install

npm i -S get-countries-info

##vanilla-javaScript

import countries from 'get-countries-info';

countries(); //will return array of all countries with all fields
countries({}, 'name'); //will return array of all countries name, note that you have to pass empty object as first argument
countries({ISO: 'USA'}, 'provinces'); //return array of all provinces in USA

As you noted, first argument is query object, and second is a string name of property you want to fetch. Full data structure with all fields you'll see below. Also in vanilla-javaScript mode, you can fetch only one specific property at time or all together. So if you want to fetch couple additional properties, you have to call this function for each property, or you can use graphQL mode and in one query fetch all you need.

First argument is an object with queries, it supports following queries:

import countries from 'get-countries-info';

let query = {
        name: 'String', //country name
        capital: 'String',
        currency: 'String',
        region: 'String',
        language: 'String',
        ISO: 'String' //country ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code
}
countries(query); //to fetch all fields
//or
countries(query, 'provinces'); //or to get only 'provinces'

##graphQL

####Make sure that your graphql package is the same version as used in get-countries-info or vice versa.

In your queries file:

import {GraphQLObjectType} from 'graphql';
import countriesQuery from 'get-countries-info/lib/graphql';

let queries = new GraphQLObjectType({
    name: 'Query',
    fields: () => ({
        ...
        ...
        ...
        getCountries: countriesQuery
    })
});

And that's it! Now you can use graphQL to query specific shape of object you need. Query method support same variables as above: name: 'String', capital: 'String', currency: 'String', region: 'String', language: 'String', ISO: 'String'.

###Example

{
  getCountries(ISO: "USA") {
    name
    wiki
    population
    ISO {
      alpha2
      alpha3
    }
    provinces
  }
}

Will return:

{
  "data": {
    "getCountries": [
      {
        "name": "United States",
        "wiki": "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/united_states_of_america",
        "population": 319259000,
        "ISO": {
          "alpha2": "US",
          "alpha3": "USA"
        },
        "provinces": [
          "Alabama",
          "Alaska",
          "Arizona",
          "Arkansas",
          "California",
          ...
          ...
          ...
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

  name: String,
      altSpellings: Array,
