🐎 Allow some country's regions to be included/excluded by tree shaking

A package that uses this package must include or exclude all data for all countries. For a web UI that only needs regions for some countries, this makes country-region-data an unnecessarily very large part of its bundle.

It would be nice if data could be imported by country, so that data for unused countries is not included in the bundled app.

E.g.

import countriesOnly from 'country-region-data/countries'
import { us, ca } from 'country-region-data/regions'

or

import countriesOnly from 'country-region-data/countries'
import us from 'country-region-data/us'
import ca from 'country-region-data/ca'

I’ll do this for the next release. Thanks!

Hey @BevanR, very sorry for the wait. The country array tuples sounds fine. Yeah I can see how that could be useful.

This would increase the size of the UMD file, but to be honest I’m not too worried. Any modern application would be using the es6 file by now, so a little extra weight to the file is fine given that it’s tree-shakeable. I should have time tomorrow to get a new version out containing this addition.
