This gem provides a multilingual list of countries. I expect it to be used in development environments to populate a database or other data structures.
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add i18n_countries
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install i18n_countries
Country lookup is done with ISO Alpha-2 code:
$ require 'i18n_countries'
$ i18nc = I18nCountries.new
The returned object has two hashes. 'countries' contains a hash of hashes keyed on locale and Alpha-2 code:
$ i18nc.countries['en_US']['JP']) # -> 'Japan'
Alpha 3 and numeric codes are available in the 'codes' hash:
$ i18nc.codes['JP']['a3'] # -> 'JPN'
$ i18nc.codes['JP']['numeric'] # -> 392
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
