Default currency for Countries #97

Open shreyashah115 opened 2 years ago

shreyashah115 commented 2 years ago

Is there a way to add a default/ official currency for all countries?

Example, Switzerland has its official currency as CHF but in the currency array we have ['CHE', 'CHF', 'CHW'], either we can change the alphabetical order of array to have the official currency listed as first ['CHF', 'CHE', 'CHW'] or introduce a new field to only have the official one? This would help in cases where we need to show one of the currencies in form options based on country.

So, there's like 6 countries which have more than 1 currency. And one of them is not sorted A-Z, the rest are. I think you're right, it's better to check all of them manually and fix the order to have first one as main official currency. Will do that with next release @shreyashah115.

But next release will be a major one and have a few breaking changes, as it will utilise couple new data structures and completely move to TypeScript for code, utils etc. Currencies is an array of string there now instead of a comma-separated string, by the way.
