Datamaps get list of country codes

Question

How do I get a list of all countries supported by d3.js datamaps?

Following the example from the datamaps demo page, I am using this configuration for my map:

var basic = new Datamap({
  element: document.getElementById("basic")
  fills: {
    defaultFill: "#ABDDA4",
    authorHasTraveledTo: "#fa0fa0"
  },
  data: {
    USA: { fillKey: "authorHasTraveledTo" },
    JPN: { fillKey: "authorHasTraveledTo" },
    ITA: { fillKey: "authorHasTraveledTo" },
    CRI: { fillKey: "authorHasTraveledTo" },
    KOR: { fillKey: "authorHasTraveledTo" },
    DEU: { fillKey: "authorHasTraveledTo" },
  }
});

How do I get a list of all countries included in datamaps (in addition to "USA", "JPN", "ITA", etc.)?

Answer 1

Got it!

var countries = Datamap.prototype.worldTopo.objects.world.geometries;
for (var i = 0, j = countries.length; i < j; i++) {
  console.log(countries[i].properties);
}

// > Object {name: "South Africa"}
// > Object {name: "Zambia"}
// > Object {name: "Zimbabwe"}

if you do a console like: console.log(countries[i].id, countries[i].properties.name) you should see the 3 letter code as well as the name. – Dragonnade

Answer 2

Here is a list of the ISO-3166-1 3 letter country codes for reference.

FYI these codes don't exactly correspond to what the API accepts/expects – Spurgeon

Answer 3

I've extracted all the country code data and put it into a CSV, it should be complete and the exact same being used in datamaps.

However, there is no country code for Kosovo, Northern Cyprus, and Somaliland. If you like to address them you have to use quotes. I don't know of any solution on how to address them individually.

Is this exhaustive? – Deoxyribonuclease

@Nelles I would say yes. However, the country code of Kosovo, Northern Cyprus and Somaliland is "-99" and therefore can‘t be accessed individually. When you try to address all of the lands you shouldn't forget about the quotes, I will update my first reply – Dett
