FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package marc-to-iso
MARC Countries <=> ISO
PHP mappings from MARC codes/countries to the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format and vice-versa.
Usage
Install the package:
The package provides 4 separated mappings (just to decrease the amount of bloat data loaded into memory):
- JonasRaoni\MarcToIso\IsoToMarcCode
- JonasRaoni\MarcToIso\IsoToMarcName
- JonasRaoni\MarcToIso\MarcCodeToIso
- JonasRaoni\MarcToIso\MarcNameToIso
Choose the one that fits your needs and call the static method get, it might return the right mapping or null if it's invalid.
Data Generation
To regenerate the classes, ensure the submodules are updated, then call the generate.php script (contains the class template, manual mappings, etc.) and it will overwrite the existing classes.
The process is simple, a generic list of countries and their respective MARC codes is matched against the complete list of MARC codes, and the remaining items, which didn't match, are manually mapped.
Data Source
-
The generic list of countries was retrieved from this link: https://datahub.io/core/country-codes (the .csv is linked to this repository as a submodule).
- The list of MARC countries/codes was manually retrieved from this link: https://www.loc.gov/marc/countries/countries_code.html. The script below was used to extract a .csv out of the link (it should be executed in a Chromium DevTools console panel), when executed it will copy the data as a CSV to your clipboard.
The deprecated MARC codes were intentionally removed, since some of them might refer to countries that don't exist anymore, and thus not part of the ISO standard.
