From reading the source code of searchCustom, I noticed what I think is a bug: by checking if the query is a substring of country.name ++ country.code, you'd get Andorra (and a few other countries) as a result for query "aa" even though no "aa" appears in either the country name or code individually. For query "aa" I would expect "Sint Maarten (Dutch part)" to be the only result.

Hi there 👋🏻 Thanks for providing this library. It's useful.

I wanted to ask if you can provide static access to the countries.

I want to interact with the YouTube API, and for that, I need a country code. I can guess the user's country code through their IP address, but if that fails, I would like to provide a default country, but currently, there's no static access to it. I can search for the country code with the API provided, but Elm's type checker doesn't know if that country exists, so I would have to handle the possibility of Nothing even though we know that that country is in the list.

I'm currently solving this by constructing the Country myself, but I'm afraid that this approach will cause that the Country I made will become out of sync with the list in your package.

I understand that this change will require a tedious process of changing the tuple into Country and updating the documentation to reflect the newly exported values, so I am more than glad to take up this task. Just let me know, and I'll get on it.

Thanks for your attention.
