What currency is "EN"?

EN is country code, and currency is the currency unit of the country, "EN" (which is dollar).

It is used in url (API) of eshop-prices.com.

 

Looking it again, I think maybe 'country' or 'country code' better fits as variable name more than currency.

I changed the variable name to `countryCode` in alfred-nintendo-switch-price-compare@0.1.2

There’s no two-letter EN country code in the standard, and if there were I doubt it would refer to the USA (much more likely it would be England, thus use £ / GBP). Calling the variable a country code is as confusing as calling it currency. Keep in mind that even “dollar” isn’t a single thing, other countries use different dollars with different values.

 

I understand that two-letter code may be what they use in their (private?) API, but if it’s this confusing it might be worth having a way to clear it up, like a note or table in the About section.

 

This Workflow looks pretty useful for those who have a Switch. If picking a currency anyway, why not have it show directly in the initial list of results?

The value in the URL is currency, and that’s what you should call the variable.

 

Looking at the site, "EN" isn't actually a valid value. It redirects to "GBP", which is the currency code for pounds sterling, not any kind of dollar.

Thanks for pointing it out. I really appreciate it.

 

I think I need to do a little more work about this.

I've never noticed the value is totally wrong..

 

In 0.1.3, I changed the variable name to currency back again.

 

And I specified possible variable names table in Github readme.

 

Thanks for your comments again
