World Info Plus Flutter Package

world_info_plus is a Flutter package that provides detailed information about 250 countries across the globe. This includes calling codes, time zones, country codes (ISO Alpha-2/Alpha-3/numeric), and more. It also supports localized country names based on the device's locale or language code, if available.

Features

• Extensive Country Data: Access up to 250 countries with details like capital, continent, currency, calling code, and time zone.
• Localization: Automatically provides localized country names based on the user's device locale (or language fallback).
• Easy Integration: Straightforward APIs to get all countries, retrieve device country, or fetch a specific country by its alpha2 code.
• Optional Localization Loading: If you wish to use localizedName, just call the initializeLocalizedName() function in your main before running the app.

Quick Start

Optional: Initialize Localized Names

If you want to use the localizedName field of each country, you must initialize localized names first. This will load the appropriate JSON for the device’s locale.

import 'package:world_info_plus/world_info_plus.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
  // IMPORTANT: Call this to load localized country names, if you need them.
  await initializeLocalizedName();

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

Basic Usage

// Getting all countries
List<Country> countries = WorldInfoPlus.countries;
print('Total countries: ${countries.length}');

// Getting the device locale
Locale deviceLocale = WorldInfoPlus.deviceLocale;
print('Device Locale: ${deviceLocale.toString()}');

// Getting the device country (based on device locale)
Country? deviceCountry = WorldInfoPlus.deviceCountry;
print('Device Country: ${deviceCountry?.name ?? "Unknown"}');

// Fetching a specific country by alpha2 code (e.g., "US", "KR", "FR")
Country? countryUS = WorldInfoPlus.getCountryByAlpha2('US');
print('Country Name: ${countryUS?.name}');
print('Country Localized Name: ${countryUS?.localizedName ?? "N/A"}');
