i18n-iso-countries
Advanced tools
The i18n-iso-countries npm package provides functionalities for working with ISO 3166-1 country codes. It allows you to get country names in different languages, convert between different country code formats, and validate country codes.
Get Country Name by Alpha-2 Code
This feature allows you to get the name of a country given its Alpha-2 code. You can specify the language in which you want the country name.
const countries = require('i18n-iso-countries');
countries.registerLocale(require('i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json'));
const countryName = countries.getName('US', 'en');
console.log(countryName); // Output: United StatesGet Alpha-2 Code by Country Name
This feature allows you to get the Alpha-2 code of a country given its name. You can specify the language in which the country name is provided.
const countries = require('i18n-iso-countries');
countries.registerLocale(require('i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json'));
const countryCode = countries.getAlpha2Code('United States', 'en');
console.log(countryCode); // Output: USValidate Country Code
This feature allows you to validate whether a given country code is a valid ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code.
const countries = require('i18n-iso-countries');
const isValid = countries.isValid('US');
console.log(isValid); // Output: trueGet Country Names in All Languages
This feature allows you to get the names of all countries in a specified language.
const countries = require('i18n-iso-countries');
countries.registerLocale(require('i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json'));
countries.registerLocale(require('i18n-iso-countries/langs/fr.json'));
const countryNames = countries.getNames('en');
console.log(countryNames); // Output: { 'AF': 'Afghanistan', 'AX': 'Åland Islands', ... }The country-list package provides a list of country names and their corresponding ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 codes. It is simpler and more lightweight compared to i18n-iso-countries, but it does not support multiple languages or validation of country codes.
The iso-3166-1 package provides ISO 3166-1 country codes and names. It is similar to i18n-iso-countries but does not offer as extensive support for multiple languages and lacks some of the additional functionalities like validation.
The countries-list package provides a comprehensive list of countries with their ISO 3166-1 codes, names, and additional information like currency and phone codes. It offers more detailed information compared to i18n-iso-countries but may be overkill if you only need basic country code and name functionalities.

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"));
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", {select: "official"})); // United States of America
console.log("US (Alpha-2) => " + countries.getName("US", "de", {select: "official"})); // Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika
console.log("USA (Alpha-3) => " + countries.getName("USA", "en", {select: "official"})); // United States of America
console.log("USA (Numeric) => " + countries.getName("840", "en", {select: "official"})); // United States of America
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' }
// Some countries have alias 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"]
