The following shows how to return a table of the country names and 2 letter codes.
We can get this information by querying the API using
dhs_countries, and specifying the returnFields
argument to just return the country name and DHS country code. This is a
useful reference table when you want to pass in country IDs to a number
of the API functions, e.g. dhs_data(countryIds = "BJ")
library(rdhs)
## what are the countryIds
ids <- dhs_countries(returnFields=c("CountryName", "DHS_CountryCode"))
