# TLD Enumerations
Lists of every [IANA TLD](http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt) in various formats. The lists may be continuously updated using the included [update utility](#updating-the-tld-format-files) that pulls the latest data from IANA.

 * [CSV Format](./tlds.csv)
 * [All Format Files](#tld-list-formats)
 * [Updating the Format Files](#updating-the-tld-format-files)
 * [Node Usage](#node-usage)
 * [PHP Usage](#php-usage)
 
## Usage
Because the lists are provided in universial CSV and JSON formats, they can be easily utilitized in most programming environments.
Additionally, for convenience, some native programming language formats have also been provided.

### Node Usage
 * use npm to add the `tld-enum` package to your project
   ```sh
   $ npm install tld-enum --save
   ```
   
 * add the module to your source
 
   ```js
   const tldEnum = require('tld-enum');
   ```
   
 * access the list by using the `tldEnum.tldList` array
 
   ```js
   const tldEnum = require('tld-enum');
   tldEnum.list; //an array with every IANA TLD
   ```
   
   The following example...
   ```js
   const tldEnum = require('tld-enum');

   console.log("There are " + tldEnum.list.length + " IANA TLDs");

   let tldCheck;

   tldCheck = "com";
   console.log("Is '" + tldCheck + "' a real TLD?");
   if (tldEnum.list.indexOf(tldCheck.toLowerCase()) != -1) {
       console.log("  yes");
   } else {
       console.log("  no");
   }

   tldCheck = "somethingWeird";
   console.log("Is '" + tldCheck + "' a real TLD?");
   if (tldEnum.list.indexOf(tldCheck.toLowerCase()) != -1) {
       console.log("  yes");
   } else {
       console.log("  no");
   }
   ```
   
   Should produce the following output...
   ```txt
   There are 1577 IANA TLDs
   Is 'com' a real TLD?
      yes
   Is 'somethingWeird' a real TLD?
      no
   ```

#### More Node Examples
 * [js-demo.js](/examples/js-demo.js) Demo using the simple array of every TLD in JavaScript.
 * [js-desc-demo.js](/examples/js-desc-demo.js) Demo using the TLD description hashmap in JavaScript.

 * [js-info-demo.js](/examples/js-info-demo.js) Demo using the array of TLD info hashmaps in JavaScript.

### PHP Usage
 * use composer to add the `katmore/tld-enum` package to your project
   ```sh
   $ composer require katmore/tld-enum
   ```
   
 * access the list by using the `\TldEnum\TldList::TLD_LIST` class constant array
 
   ```php
   <?php
   print_r(\TldEnum\TldList::TLD_LIST); //an array with every IANA TLD
   ```
 
   The following example...
   ```php
   <?php
   use TldEnum\TldList;

   echo "There are " . count(TldList::TLD_LIST) . " IANA TLDs\n";

   $tldCheck = "com";
   echo "Is '$tldCheck' a real TLD?\n";
   if (in_array(strtolower($tldCheck), TldList::TLD_LIST)) {
       echo "  yes\n";
   } else {
       echo "  no\n";
   }

   $tldCheck = "somethingWeird";
   echo "Is '$tldCheck' a real TLD?\n";
   if (in_array(strtolower($tldCheck), TldList::TLD_LIST)) {
       echo "  yes\n";
   } else {
       echo "  no\n";
   }
   ```
   
   Should produce the following output...
   ```txt
   There are 1577 IANA TLDs
   Is 'com' a real TLD?
      yes
   Is 'somethingWeird' a real TLD?
      no
   ```

## Updating the TLD format files
All [TLD List Formats](#tld-list-formats) can be updated with the latest data from IANA by using the [**TLD Update Utility**](/bin/update-formats.sh).

```sh
$ bin/update-formats.sh
```

### TLD Update Utility Prerequisites
 * Node.js version 8.11 or higher.
 * (Optional) PHP command-line version 7.2 or higher, to re-generate the [PHP format files](#tld-list-formats).
 * The *devDependencies* from [*package.json*](./package.json) must be fullfilled
   ```sh
   $ npm install tld-enum --dev
   ```

### TLD Update Utility Usage
```txt
usage:
  update-formats.sh [-h]|[-q][format file options...]

-h,--help: Print a help message and exit.
-q,--quiet: Print only critical messages.

format file options:
  --force-php: Creating the PHP format files is mandatory.
  --skip-php: Always skip creating the PHP format files.
  --skip-csv: Use existing tlds.csv and do not download new data from IANA.
```

### TLD Update Helpers
Internally, the *TLD Update Utility* uses multiple *"helper" scripts* to generate the full set of native format lists.
These individual *"helper" scripts* should not be directly executed except for development and troubleshooting purposes.
