This is a tiny Elixir wrapper for the REST Countries API.

First, add Excountries to your mix.exs dependencies:

def deps do
  [{:excountries, "~> 0.0.1"}]
end

and run $ mix deps.get.

There are multiple functions via which one can search for countries in the API. Each function returns a single or a list of Country structs.

Returns a list of countries.

 Excountries.Radar.all()

Searches for a country by it's exact name:

 Excountries.Radar.by_full_name("United States Of America")

Searches for a country by a substring of it's name or abbreviation:

 Excountries.Radar.by_name("USA")

Searches for a country by a language code:

 Excountries.Radar.by_language("en")

Language codes must be ISO 639-1 compliant. If not, throws error.

Searches for a country by currency name:

 Excountries.Radar.by_currency("USD")

Searches for the country by it's capital city:

 Excountries.Radar.by_capital("USD")

Searches for the country by it's calling code:

 Excountries.Radar.by_calling_code("01")

Searches for the country by it's region:

 Excountries.Radar.by_region("Oceania")

Searches for the country by it's subregion:

 Excountries.Radar.by_subregion("Polynesia")

Searches for the country by it's country code:

 Excountries.Radar.by_country_code("MKD")
