The following methods are available:

Searching

Searches can be conducted by any of the following methods:

var found = country.findByIso2('BD');
var found = country.findByIso3('BGD');
var found = country.findByName('Bangladesh');
var found = country.findByCapital('Dakha');
var found = country.findByCurrency('BDT');
var found = country.findByPhoneNbr('[phone]');
var found = country.findByProvince('Steiermark');

If the country cannot be found, the return value is undefined. If a single value is found, it is returned as an object similar to the one shown below, and if multiple matches are made, an array of such objects is returned

{ 
    name: 'Denmark',
    continent: 'Europe',
    region: 'Scandinavia, Nordic Countries',
    capital: 'Copenhagen',
    currency: { code: 'DKK', symbol: 'Dkr', decimal: '2' },
    dialing_code: '45',
    provinces: [
        { name: 'Hovedstaden', alias: null },
        { name: 'Midtjylland', alias: null },
        { name: 'Nordjylland', alias: null },
        { name: 'Sjælland', alias: [ 'Zealand' ] },
        { name: 'Syddanmark', alias: null }
    ],
    code: { iso_alpha_2: 'DK', iso_alpha_3: 'DNK' } 
}

Notes

• Queries are cached so only the first time a country is searched by requires traversal of the internal structures and thus calls will resolve very quickly

• Search queries are case insensitive

• Province searches include aliases so you may search for either Sjælland or Zealand
