i18n for ISO 3166-1 country codes

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/%40ntpu%2Fi18n-iso-countries.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/%40ntpu%2Fi18n-iso-countries)

# introduction
The module of node-i18n-iso-countries is awesome except that it does not support the traditional chinese. So, I forked the code from [the original repo](https://github.com/michaelwittig/node-i18n-iso-countries) and made minor modification to support the traditional chinese.

# i18n-iso-countries

> Version 5 drops support for node 6 and 7!

i18n for ISO 3166-1 country codes. We support Alpha-2, Alpha-3 and Numeric codes from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1#Officially_assigned_code_elements>

## Installing

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

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

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

```javascript
// 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

```javascript
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 all names by their ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code

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

### Country to Code

```javascript
var countries = require("i18n-iso-countries");
// in a browser environment: countries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json"));
console.log("United States of America => " + countries.getAlpha2Code('United States of America', 'en'));
// United States of America => US

console.log("United States of America => " + countries.getAlpha3Code('United States of America', 'en'));
// United States of America => USA
```

## Codes

### Convert Alpha-3 to Alpha-2 code

```javascript
var countries = require("i18n-iso-countries");
// in a browser environment: countries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json"));
console.log("USA (Alpha-3) => " + countries.alpha3ToAlpha2("USA") + " (Alpha-2)");
// USA (Alpha-3) => US (Alpha-2)
```

### Convert Numeric to Alpha-2 code

```javascript
var countries = require("i18n-iso-countries");
// in a browser environment: countries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json"));
console.log("840 (Numeric) => " + countries.numericToAlpha2("840") + " (Alpha-2)");
// 840 (Numeric) => US (Alpha-2)
```

### Convert Alpha-2 to Alpha-3 code

```javascript
var countries = require("i18n-iso-countries");
// in a browser environment: countries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json"));
