iso-countries-languages

This library provides the full list of ISO 639-1 languages and the full list of ISO 3166-1 countries. The library supports 89 languages (the full list is available by querying the library API itself) and it is designed to be easy to import and use.

Installation

Simply run the following code and look at the examples to see typical usages:

yarn add @hotosm/iso-countries-languages

Customization

This library includes data for more than 150 languages. To make the build smaller, we have only 24 languages enabled, but you can easily build that package with more languages enabled. Follow those steps:

• Modify supportedLangs.json
• Run yarn all

To update the countries data from OpenStreetMap, execute yarn update-countries.
