Provides a compile-time constant of all countries accessible via WorldCountry.list moreover, the WorldCountry class provides the following methods/constructors:

• maybeFromAnyCode - returns a country instance if the value matches any ISO 3166 code, otherwise returns null.
• fromAnyCode - returns a country instance if the value matches any ISO 4217 code.
• maybeFromValue - returns a country instance if the value matches the provided value, otherwise returns null.
• fromCode - returns a country instance if the value matches the provided ISO 3166-1 Alpha-3 code.
• fromCodeShort - returns a country instance if the value matches the provided ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code.
• fromCodeNumeric - returns a country instance if the value matches the provided ISO 3166-1 numeric code.
• maybeFromCode - returns a country instance if the value matches the provided ISO 3166-1 Alpha-3 code, otherwise returns null.
• maybeFromCodeShort - returns a country instance if the value matches the provided ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code, otherwise returns null.
• maybeFromCodeNumeric - returns a country instance if the value matches the provided ISO 3166-1 numeric code, otherwise returns null.
• permissive - allows the creation of custom class instances that are not fully compatible with the ISO standard.

and functional-style like methods: whenOrNull, maybeWhen, when, map, maybeMap and is* boolean getters. You can also find many common methodsyou may know from Dart ecosystem - toString overrides, copyWith, toJson, compareTo, etc. Also, a compile-time const, tree-shakable, case-insensitive code maps (for a 0(1) access time code mapping), list and much more.

Translations: Use maybeCommonNameFor() or commonNameFor() methods to get translations for specific locale.

Getting started

To use this package, add sealed_countries as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

dependencies:
  sealed_countries: any

Then import the package in your Dart code:

import 'package:sealed_countries/sealed_countries.dart';

Usage

To get information about countries, use the WorldCountry class. You can construct instances directly (using const), use the class's factory constructors or static methods, or select a country from the WorldCountry.list constant.

  print(WorldCountry.list.length); // Prints: "250".

  final country = WorldCountry.fromCode("MEX");
  print(country.name.common); // Prints: "Mexico".
  print(country.isMex); // Prints: true.

  final europeanCountries = WorldCountry.list.where(
    (cnt) => cnt.continent is Europe,
  );
  print(europeanCountries); // Prints a list of European countries.

  // Prints German translations of all available regular countries.
  final germanNames = WorldCountry.list.commonNamesMap(
    options: const LocaleMappingOptions(
      mainLocale: BasicTypedLocale(LangDeu()),
    ),
  );

  print(
    """Fully translated to German: ${germanNames.length == WorldCountry.list.length}""",
  ); // Prints: "Fully translated to German: true".
  for (final deuTranslation in germanNames.entries) {
    print("German name of ${deuTranslation.key.name}: ${deuTranslation.value}");
  }

FAQ

Why should I use this package over any other country-related package?

• Classes with a sealed origin: This package provides data via classes with a sealed origin, defining specific permitted direct subclasses. This lets you use instances of these subclasses and customize their data or behavior (e.g., overriding methods), offering more structured flexibility than enums or standard open classes.
• No 3rd-party dependencies: This package has no third-party dependencies, ensuring that you won't have any issues or conflicts with other dependencies (no even meta here, because of that).
• Rich data: This package offers far more data than any other package + tons of translations (all GlobalMaterialLocalizations and GlobalCupertinoLocalizations locales and more).
• Type-safe: The contracts and types in this package are exceptionally strong, ensuring that your code is strongly typed and well-defined.
• High code coverage: The code in this package has 100% code coverage, with more than 1K (+2K in underlying packages) tests, providing confidence in its reliability and stability.
• Comprehensive documentation: This package provides full documentation for every non-code generated public member, usually with examples, ensuring clarity and ease of use.
• Mirrored Repository: The GitHub repository, including all package tags, is mirrored on GitLab, providing an alternative access point should GitHub become unavailable.
• Industry adopted: This package is actively used in production by numerous European companies, ensuring its efficacy and robustness in real-world scenarios.
• MIT license: This package and sources are released under the MIT license, which is a permissive license that allows users to use, modify, and distribute the code with minimal restrictions. The MIT license is considered better than most other open-source licenses because it provides flexibility and allows users to incorporate the code into their projects without worrying about legal implications.
