Issue
Is there any packages for angular that can provide me country select dropdown with flags? Flags are good to have feature, if it’s not there no issues, I need a country select dropdown.
My project is running in Angular 7, so please provide a package that is compatible with Angular 7.
Solution
I’ve decided to create my own dropdown, I’ll post my codes here. this is the basic method that anyone can copy paste into your angular application. I’ll be releasing a package for the same in near future.
So, I’ve isolated the data from the main code by making new file.
create a new .ts file anywhere, I prefered it in src/app/shared/model/
create Country.model.ts
export interface Countries {
code: string
code3: string
name: string
number: string
}
Now create another .ts file to store the data, I prefer it in src/app/shared/components/store/
create country-data-store.ts
import { Countries } from 'src/app/shared/models/country.model';
export var countries: Countries [] = [

];
now we have successfully created our data store. now we have to fetch this into whichever component you desire. For that we have to import this variable.
in your-component.ts
export class YourComponent implements OnInit {
public countries:any = countries
constructor(){}
ngOnInit(): void {
}
}
in your-component.html
<select class="form-control" name="country" id="country">
<option value="" disabled selected>Select Country</option>
<option *ngFor="let country of countries" [value]="country.name">{{country.name}}</option>
</select>
I’ll be working on a package where we will be doing the same but very simple way.
thanks & regards
