CountryData.Standard

🌍 A simple cross platform offline .NET library for getting Global Country Data

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();
