EASY-COVID-DATA

This projects takes data from CSSEGISandData/COVID-19, parses it and returns it in a much friendlier format.

This project is used in production to power a Discord bot able to rapidly give data about the current situation regarding the pandemic.

Installation

npm i @coriou/easy-covid-data or yarn add @coriou/easy-covid-data

Example

import { getData } from "@coriou/easy-covid-data"

getData()
  .then(({ countryData }) => {
    const france = countryData.find(country => country.countryCode === "FR")

    console.log(france)
  })
  .catch(console.error)

Result:

Use the data directly

I maintain Github Gists with this data, you can find them and use them directly there:

• Country Data: covid-19.json
• Topo Data: covid-19-topojson.json
