This list of countries is for all my fellow developers out there who are looking for a time-saving resource but also need to leverage agile data. Unlike other lists I found, this list is formatted as follows: Label|value. The Country name is capitalized followed by a pipe symbol (aka vertical bar, stick, bar, | ) and the country name in a database-friendly format.
List of Countries Format: The Use Case
This isn’t the standard format you’ll see for Label:Value formats. For this use case, I needed the list of countries name output in an ACF-friendly format. However, the data collection was from an Elementor form. Normally, I would just use an Advanced Custom Fields form, so this was a new resource I needed to create.
I hope this is useful for someone else out there! If you see any mistakes or want to request any corrections, please contact me!
