angular2-countrypicker

Angular 2 Country Picker - Country selector with Bootstrap support by default, but can be used with any other UI framework (e.g. Ionic or Angular Material)

Credits

Thanks mledoze's country collection and Open Data Commons for country database.

Installation

To install this library, run:

$ npm install angular2-countrypicker --save

Then add CountryPickerModule import to your @NgModule in your Angular AppModule:

// Import angular2-countrypicker library
import { CountryPickerModule } from 'angular2-countrypicker';
 
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    // Specify angular2-countrypicker library as an import
    CountryPickerModule.forRoot()
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Don't forget to add static countries.json and flag svg assets from mledoze's country collection. Using angular-cli, static asset import is not yet supported (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/3555), so please put required data into assets folder like the example in the sample folder. You can also specify the location of the assets:

 
  imports: [
    CountryPickerModule.forRoot({
      baseUrl: 'assets/'
    })
  ]
 

Usage

Once your library is imported, you can use its components, directives and pipes in your Angular application:

  <!-- You can now use your angular2-countrypicker -->
  <countryPicker></countryPicker>
  <!-- You can also configure picker -->
  <countryPicker [setName]="cca3" [setValue]="ccn2" [flag]="true"></countryPicker>

Alternatively you can CountryPickerService to get details for each country.

 
  public countries: any[];
 
  constructor(private countryPickerService: CountryPickerService) {
    this.countryPickerService.getCountries().subscribe(countries => this.countries = countries);
  }

 
  <md-select name="countrypicker">
    <md-option *ngFor="let c of countries">{{c.capital}}</md-option>
  </md-select>
 

Parameters

Component configuration

You can configure component with the following input attributes:

• setName: string - visible name in the country picker

• flag: boolean - show flags
