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 🙏

i18n-iso-countries

i18n for ISO 3166-1 country codes. We support Alpha-2, Alpha-3 and Numeric codes from 'Wikipedia: Officially assigned code elements'

Installing

Install it using npm: npm install i18n-iso-countries

var countries = require("i18n-iso-countries");

If you use i18n-iso-countries with Node.js, you are done. If you use the package in a browser environment, you have to register the languages you want to use to minimize the file size.

// Support french & english languages.
countries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json"));
countries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/fr.json"));

Code to Country

Get the name of a country by its ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2, Alpha-3 or Numeric code

var countries = require("i18n-iso-countries");
// in a browser environment: countries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json"));
console.log("US (Alpha-2) => " + countries.getName("US", "en")); // United States of America
console.log("US (Alpha-2) => " + countries.getName("US", "de")); // Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika
console.log("USA (Alpha-3) => " + countries.getName("USA", "en")); // United States of America
console.log("USA (Numeric) => " + countries.getName("840", "en")); // United States of America

Get aliases/short name using select

// Some countries have alias/short names defined. `select` is used to control which
// name will be returned.
console.log("GB (select: official) => " + countries.getName("GB", "en", {select: "official"})); // United Kingdom
console.log("GB (select: alias) => " + countries.getName("GB", "en", {select: "alias"})); // UK
console.log("GB (select: all) => " + countries.getName("GB", "en", {select: "all"})); // ["United Kingdom", "UK", "Great Britain"]
// Countries without an alias will always return the offical name
console.log("LT (select: official) => " + countries.getName("LT", "en", {select: "official"})); // Lithuania
console.log("LT (select: alias) => " + countries.getName("LT", "en", {select: "alias"})); // Lithuania
console.log("LT (select: all) => " + countries.getName("LT", "en", {select: "all"})); // ["Lithuania"]

Get all names by their ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code

var countries = require("i18n-iso-countries");
// in a browser environment: countries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json"));
console.log(countries.getNames("en", {select: "official"})); // { 'AF': 'Afghanistan', 'AL': 'Albania', [...], 'ZM': 'Zambia', 'ZW': 'Zimbabwe' }
