usage

There are a few ways to consume the list of countries:

raw()

This returns the json file by 'require'

var countries = require('country-slice');
 
var list = countries.raw();

stream()

This returns an object stream that emits one country per data event:

var countries = require('country-slice');
 
var list = countries.stream();
 
list.on('data', function(country){
 
    // country is a JSON object
})

filepath()

This returns the full filepath to the .json file of countries

var countries = require('country-slice');
 
var filepath = countries.filepath();
 
// e.g. /srv/projects/country-slice/src/countries.json
 

filestream()

This returns a fs.createReadStream on the json file

var countries = require('country-slice');
 
var stream = countries.filestream();
