A lightweight utility to determine the dxcc entity information from a callsign's prefix
This is my second NPM package, and I'm relatively new to Javascript. As I learn, breaking changes are not only possible, but likely. If you have feedback, I would love to hear it.
npm install dxccjs
Using the included file in ./data/cty.xml (current as of July 10, 2018, courtesy of ClubLog), you can instantiate a new instance of dxccjs and check a callsign as follows.
let dxcc = new dxccjs('./data/cty.xml')
asdf.on('loaded', () => {
console.log( dxcc.checkCall('LU1EEP') )
})
Since it may take some time to parse the XML file, the loaded event is triggered when it has finished loading. Checking a call will result in the following object being returned:
{ '$': { record: '1722' },
call: [ 'LU' ],
entity: [ 'ARGENTINA' ],
adif: [ '100' ],
cqz: [ '13' ],
cont: [ 'SA' ],
long: [ '-58.4' ],
lat: [ '-34.6' ] }
If a matching prefix is not found, { } is returned.
Tests are coming soon.
This is my second npm module. Send me PRs or comments. I'm here to learn!
