Package Exports

convert-region
convert-region/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (convert-region) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

convert-region

A simple utility to convert region abbreviations to full names and vice-versa. Currently works with all 50 US states, and all Canadian provinces. Over time the goal will be to add functionality for multiple continents and regions. Built with Typescript.

Story

I found myself building an application with location data being return from an existing API as abbreviations but, for presentation's sake I needed full names. I wrote a utility locally within my project, and ultimately decided to publish.

Usage

To use, simply import the utility into your project.

import convertRegion from 'convert-region'

To convert abbreviations to full names use convertRegion.toFullName('CA') which will turn NY to New York.

To convert full names to abbreviations use convertRegion.toAbbreviation('New York') which will turn New York to NY.
