Methods and Descriptions

The CountryData.Standard library provides a set of methods that allow you to retrieve country data, flags, regions, and phone codes. The following table lists the available methods and their descriptions.

Method	Description
GetCountryData()	Returns all country data including region, short code, and country name.
GetCountryByCode(string shortCode)	Returns a single country's data by its short code.
GetCountryEmojiFlag(string shortCode)	Gets the flag of the country, represented as an emoji, by the country's short code.
GetRegionByCountryCode(string shortCode)	Selects and returns a list of regions for a particular country identified by its short code.
GetCountries()	Gets the list of all country names.
GetPhoneCodeByCountryShortCode(string shortCode)	Returns a single country's phone code by its short code.
GetCountryByPhoneCode(string phoneCode)	Returns country data for the country associated with the specified phone code.
GetCurrencyCodesByCountryCode(string shortCode)	Returns a list of currency codes for a specific country identified by its short code.
GetCountryByCurrencyCode(string currencyCode)	Returns a list of countries that use the specified currency code.
GetCountryCode(string countryName)	Returns the country code for a specific country name.

Initialize the Country data object

       //loads all Country Data via the constructor (You can initialize this once as a singleton)
       var helper = new CountryHelper();

Get list of Countries

       var countries = helper.GetCountries();
       foreach (var country in countries) 
         Console.WriteLine(country);

Get list of Regions in a Country by Country Code

       var regions = helper.GetRegionByCountryCode("GH");
       foreach (var region in regions)
         Console.WriteLine(region.Name);

Using lambda for custom querries

GetCountryData() returns an IEnumerable<Country> which can be querried with Lambda for a more flexible usage.

      //example1
      var data = helper.GetCountryData();
       //get list of countries by their Names
      var countries = data.Select(c => c.CountryName).ToList();
       foreach (var country in countries)
         Console.WriteLine(country);
       
      
       //example 2
       data.Where(x => x.CountryShortCode == "US")
                              .Select(r=>r.Regions).FirstOrDefault()
                              .ToList();

Get Country Data by Country Code

This example demonstrates how to retrieve a country with a specific phone code using the GetCountryByPhoneCode method. In this case, we're fetching the country with the phone code "+233".

var CountryName = helper.GetCountryByPhoneCode("+233");
Console.WriteLine(CountryName);
