Overview

About

Maintained by Edward ViselCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗

Smooths the process of working with country names and codes via powerful parsing, standardization, and conversion utilities arranged in a simple, consistent API. Country name formats include multiple sources including the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR, http://cldr.unicode.org/) common-sense standardized names in hundreds of languages.

Changes in 0.3.0

Add nato dataset of NATO/OTAN member defense expenditures.
Remove "dstk" option for parse_country() as the Data Science Tookit API appears dead.
Refactor README and vignette to use explicit packages instead of tidyverse.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/passport/passport_0.3.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "passport_0.3.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.3.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("alistaire47/passport")

Development version from alistaire47/passport. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
