Usage

Afrogeo provides a simple verify function that takes a dictionary and returns a Result object.

Basic Example

from afrogeo import verify

data = {
    "country": "Nigeria",
    "state": "Lagos",
    "lga": "Agege"
}

result = verify(data)

if result.valid:
    print(f"Validated: {result.normalized['state']} - {result.normalized['lga']}")
else:
    print(f"Errors: {result.errors}")

Full Validation (including City)

data = {
    "country": "NG",        # Supports codes or full names
    "state": "LA",          # Supports state codes
    "lga": "Agege",
    "city": "Agege"         # Optional
}

result = verify(data)

Features

• Offline-First: Uses local JSON data for instant verification.
• Data Normalization: Automatically converts codes to full names and vice-versa.
• Case Insensitive: Accepts "LAGOS", "lagos", or "Lagos".
• Dynamic Loading: Loads only the data for the country you are verifying.
