Countries is a collection of all sorts of useful information for every country in the ISO 3166 standard. It is based on the data from the Ruby Gem Countries.

This is a fork of the original repo, which makes a minor change to the ordering of the :unoffical_names list for the GB data; which adheres to DICE's preference for 'United Kingdom' over 'The United Kingdom'.

Additionally, it has been updated to compile without warnings on Elixir 1.18 and the dependencies have been updated to the latest versions.

defp deps do
  [
    {:countries, "~> 1.6"}
  ]
end

After you are done, run mix deps.get in your shell to fetch and compile countries.

Find country by attribute:

country = Countries.filter_by(:alpha2, "DE")
# [%Countries.Country{alpha2: 'DE', alpha3: 'DEU', continent: 'Europe',
#  country_code: '49', currency: 'EUR', ...]

countries = Countries.filter_by(:region, "Europe")
Enum.count(countries)
# 51

Get all countries:

countries = Countries.all
Enum.count(countries)
# 250
