Langs-es
This library provides ISO 639-1/2/3 language codes with English and local names.
Forked from langs.
Installation
$ npm i langs-es
What's with all the ISO version numbers?
ISO 639 is broken up into many different parts, each either defining language codes or defining standards for codes in later versions. The ones included in this library are:
ISO 639-1
2 characters, one per language or ISO 639 macrolanguageISO 639-2/2T
3 characters, one per languageISO 639-2B
3 characters, mostly the same as639-2T
but with some derived from their English name rather than local nameISO 639-3
3 characters, mostly the same as639-2T
but using the canonical ISO 639 macrolanguage code
The macrolanguages described above cover cases where a language is considered
to be a dialect of another in some standards but not in others, e.g Standard
Arabic arb
and Arabic ara
. There's more information on the
Wikipedia page.

Generating src/data.ts
The file containing all of the language code data is automatically generated using
tables downloaded from the official ISO-639-3 website.
These tables do not change often, but when they do, a new data file can be generated
with npm run generate
.
By default, the generator will save the tables to be reused in future runs. To force
the generator to download fresh copies of the tables, use npm run generate --- --fetch
.
