SwiftFlags

SwiftFlags is a simple library to get emoji flag from a country name or a country code (ISO 3166-1).

SwiftFlags comes with some static methods that you can use:

class func flag(for country: String) -> String?

class func countryCode(for country: String) -> String?

Examples

Here are some examples to get the emoji flag for a country. You can pass both a country name or a country code:

// Returns 🇮🇹
let _ = SwiftFlags.flag(for: "italy")
// Returns 🇺🇸
let _ = SwiftFlags.flag(for: "United States")
// Returns nil
let _ = SwiftFlags.flag(for: "England")
// Returns 🇯🇵
let _ = SwiftFlags.flag(for: "JP")
// Returns 🇰🇷
let _ = SwiftFlags.flag(for: "Korea, South")

SwiftFlags also provide the ability to return the ISO country code for a given country:

// Returns 'IT'
let _ = SwiftFlags.countryCode(for: "italy")
// Returns 'US'
