countries-iso3166

This crate is used to convert between UTF-8 Strings and country codes for easier handling of country names in ISO 3166 format. It has no dependencies and no_std compatible. The country names are converted to country codes in rust because country names can contain special characters not common in English which can cause confusion.

The current implementation is only for ISO 3166-1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1.

Planned implementation for ISO 3166-3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3

Examples

use countries_iso3166::CountryIso31661;

// Initializing the `CountryIso31661` using a code
let country = CountryIso31661::KE;

// Getting the name for the country
country.as_str();

//Getting the code for the country
country.country_code();

//
// -- Convertions from a &str --
//

// Converting from a country's name
let country = "Kenya";
let country_code_iso_31661: CountryIso31661 = country.into();

let into_str: &str = country_code_iso_31661.into();
assert_eq!(into_str, country);

assert_eq!(country_code_iso_31661, CountryIso31661::KE);


// Converting from a country's code
let country_code = "KE";
let code: CountryIso31661 = country.into();
assert!(code == CountryIso31661::KE);

// Countries with special characters are also supported if the characters are UTF-8
let country = "Côte d'Ivoire";
let country_code_iso_31661: CountryIso31661 = country.into();

let into_str: &str = country_code_iso_31661.into();
assert_eq!(into_str, country);

assert_eq!(country_code_iso_31661, CountryIso31661::CI);
