Best way to get ISO 3166-1:2006 Alpha-3 code

Hi,

I’m using 2-char country codes from `Cldr.Territory.country_codes/0` in Cldr.Territory package, but I need to get the corresponding 3-letter country code as specified in ISO 3166-1:2006 Alpha-3 code.

Is there a quick way to transform those using the Cldr package family or should I use another package or maybe fallback to a hardcoded map and fetch it from there? e.g.

@countries %{

US: “USA”,

MX: “MEX”


}

def country_code_alpha_3(country), do: Map.get(@contries, country)

Thanks in advance,

Miguel

I’ve published ex_cldr version 2.47.0 that adds Cldr.Config.territory_codes/0. I’ve also opened a PR to ex_cldr_territories for @Schultzer to consider.

For now you can use the new function as:

@territory_codes Cldr.Config.territory_codes()
def territory_codes do
  @territory_codes
end

The functions in Cldr.Config all read, decode and normalise data so you only want to do that once, at compile time, hence the module attribute approach.

Example

iex> Cldr.Config.territory_codes()
%{
  EA: %{},
  IM: %{alpha3: "IMN", numeric: "833"},
  XG: %{alpha3: "XGG", numeric: "979"},

Perfectly fine - it’s been on the “must get around to this” list for a while. So I may as well get around to it :slight_smile: I should have something you can work with in the next 24 hours.

CLDR does contain ISO 3166 Alpha 3 mappings but they aren’t exposed in ex_cldr_territories iirc.

I’ll take a look at working up a PR for this in the next day.
