go-countries

Lightweight lookup over ISO-3166 codes. Each unit implements driver.Valuer, ozzo validation.Validate, Stringer interfaces.

This library has been created with the purpose to facilitate search and transfer of ISO-3166 country codes.

Created with a codegen - check generator branch.

Installation

go get github.com/mikekonan/go-countries

Usage:

//1. use in your structs
type User struct {
	Name    string             `json:"name" db:"name"`
	Country country.Alpha2Code `json:"country" db:"country"`
}

func main() {
	user := User{}
	//2. use in your wire
	json.Unmarshal([]byte(`{"name":"name", "country": "ca"}`), &user)

	//3. check is set
	user.Country.IsSet() //check user country is provided

	//4. validate using ozzo-validation
	if err := validation.ValidateStruct(&user, validation.Field(&user.Country, validation.Required, user.Country)); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	//5. lookup by alpha2, alpha3, country name
	if userCountry, ok := country.ByAlpha2Code(user.Country); ok {
		fmt.Printf("country name - '%s', alpha-2 - '%s', alpha-3 - '%s'", userCountry.Name(), userCountry.Alpha2Code(), userCountry.Alpha3Code())
	}

	//6. store in db
	fmt.Println(user.Country.Value()) //prints 'CA'

	//7. use specific countries
	fmt.Println(country.Canada.Alpha2Code())
}
