Countries.World.Net

Overview

A simple nuget package designed to:

  • Retrieve a list of all countries.
  • Fetch specific details about a country using its identifier.

Features

  1. Get All Countries:

    • Retrieve a read-only list of all available countries, including their names and capitals.
  2. Get Country by ID:

    • Fetch detailed information about a specific country using its unique ID.
  3. Custom Exception Handling:

    • Throws a CountryNotFoundException when an invalid country ID is queried.
  4. Thread-Safe Initialization:

    • Ensures lazy and thread-safe initialization of country data.

Code Example

Here’s how you can use the package to display all countries and details of Afghanistan:

using World.Net;
using World.Net.Helpers;

Console.WriteLine("All Countries:");
var countries = CountryProvider.GetAllCountries();
foreach (var country in countries)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Name: {country.Name}, Capital: {country.Capital}");
}

Console.WriteLine("\nDetails for Afghanistan:");
var afghanistan = CountryProvider.GetCountry(CountryIdentifier.AfghanistanId);
Console.WriteLine($"Official Name: {afghanistan.OfficialName}, Capital: {afghanistan.Capital}");

v1.1.0

New Features:
Ability to retrived selected countries based on identifiers

A new method has been added to the CountryProvider class to allow filtering countries by a collection of CountryIdentifier values.

This method returns a list of unique ICountry instances corresponding to the provided country identifiers, removing any duplicates.

var indentifiers = new List<CountryIdentifier>
{
   CountryIdentifier.Nigeria,
   CountryIdentifier.Brazil
};

var selectedCountries = CountryProvider.GetCountries(indentifiers);

Benefits:
Allows more efficient retrieval of multiple countries based on identifiers.
Handles duplicate identifiers gracefully by returning only distinct countries.
Improves flexibility when working with country data by enabling precise selection.
