countries-cli
Query country information from the country-data npm package.
Install
$ npm i -g countries-cli
Or for one-time run:
$ npx countries-cli
Usage
countries-cli
responds with a formatted JSON array by default if the process doesn't fail:
$ countries-cli --name canada[ ]
When nothing is found:
$ countries-cli --name whoops[]
If you want an unformatted JSON string as output, use --no-pretty
:
$ countries-cli --name canada --no-pretty[{"alpha2":"CA","alpha3":"CAN","countryCallingCodes":["+1"],"currencies":["CAD"],"emoji":"🇨🇦","ioc":"CAN","languages":["eng","fra"],"name":"Canada","status":"assigned"}]
This is useful when using a tool like jq
where the colorized format will fail to parse:
$ countries-cli --name canada --no-pretty | jq '.[] | { name: .name }'
