## Usage
### Via `npx`:
Print all flags:
```
$ npx euro-flags
```
Print specific flags:
```
$ npx euro-flags <country-name>
$ npx euro-flags <country-name> --border
$ npx euro-flags <country-name> --scale=<scale-number>
$ npx euro-flags <country-name> --scale=full
```

### Via Global Install
```
$ npm install --global euro-flags
```
then:
```
$ euro-flags
$ euro-flags <country-name>
$ euro-flags <country-name> --border
$ euro-flags <country-name> --scale=<scale-number>
$ euro-flags <country-name> --scale=full
```

### Via Import
```
$ npm install euro_flags
```
then:
```
const euro_flags = require('euro-flags');
console.log(euro_flags['<country-name>'].create(<scale-number>, <border-boolean>));
```

## Options
### Standard Flag
```
$ euro-flags <country-name>
```

### Add a Border
To add a border, add the `--border` flag:
```
$ euro-flags <country-name> --border
```

### Make it Bigger
To increase the scale, add the `--scale=<positive-number>` flag.  The value can be any integer greater than or equal to 1.  (Default scale is 1).  Can also use `--scale=full` to fit the flag to the closest terminal dimensions.  
```
$ euro-flags <country-name> --scale=<positive-number>
```
![What euro-flags prints to the console](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spirometaxas/euro-flags/main/img/euro-flags-scale.png)

**Note:** Each flag has its own minimum dimensions (see below), and `scale` just multiplies those dimensions.  Therefore, the same scale will render different sizes for flags which have different minimum dimensions.

## Supported Countries (28)
Due to limitations of ASCII art, only flags that can be drawn using block characters are included.

###### Notes
- `Minimum Dimensions` - The smallest possible dimensions used to render the flag (when `--scale=1`).    
- `Target Ratio` - The preferred ratio to use when rendering the flag.  Most flags match the target ratio exactly.  Some flags are within 1-2 columns of the target ratio, in an attempt to support smaller renderings.  Also assume 1 row height equals 2 column widths.
- `Default Scale` - The scale used to render the flag when the `--scale` flag is not included.
