This is a fork of Baymard's redesigned country selector. The intent is to make the code more readable, linted, better documented, faster and up-to-date.
This fork has not yet been tested. Please do so before using, and feel free to report back the results.
An improved way to select a country in web forms.
- Design improves upon a standard country dropdown list.
- Accepts keyboard typing input.
- Autocomplete from a list of synonyms.
- Handles typos.
- Prioritizes autocomplete results.
The solution is a redesigned country selector that addresses the issues of drop-down country selectors. It handles typos, various spelling sequences, synonyms and prioritized options. The technically correct term for this would be something like an “auto-complete text field with loose partial matching, synonyms and weighted results.” That’s a bit long, so I’ve simply dubbed it the “Redesigned Country Selector”.
