## Technical Details

### Data Source

The component uses the official **ISO 3166-1 alpha-2** standard:

```javascript
const COUNTRY_DATA = {
    'US': { name: 'United States', region: 'Americas' },
    'GB': { name: 'United Kingdom', region: 'Europe' },
    // ... 247 more countries
};
```

### Flag Images

**Source**: CircleFlags by HatScripts (MIT License)

**CDN URL**: `https://hatscripts.github.io/circle-flags/flags/{code}.svg`

**Format**: SVG (scalable, crisp at any size)

**Fallback**: Country code text if image fails to load

**Loading**: Lazy loading with `loading="lazy"` attribute

### Validation

The component validates flag codes against LanguageManager's `VALID_COUNTRY_CODES`:

```php
// LanguageManager.php (lines 42-64)
private const VALID_COUNTRY_CODES = [
    'AD', 'AE', 'AF', 'AG', 'AI', 'AL', 'AM', 'AO', 'AQ', 'AR', 'AS', 'AT',
    // ... 237 more codes (249 total)
];
```

**Match**: ✅ All 249 codes from FlagPicker match LanguageManager

### Performance

- **Initial Load**: ~5KB JS (minified + gzipped)
- **Country Data**: Embedded (~15KB uncompressed)
- **Search Debounce**: 300ms
- **Render Time**: <50ms for 249 flags (lazy-loaded images)
- **Memory**: Single instance, ~2MB with all flags loaded

### Browser Support

- Chrome 90+
- Firefox 88+
- Safari 14+
- Edge 90+
- Mobile: iOS 14+, Android Chrome 90+

### Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)

✅ **Keyboard Navigation**: Full keyboard support (Tab, Arrow keys, Home, End)

✅ **Screen Readers**: ARIA labels, roles, and live regions

✅ **Focus Management**: Visible focus indicators (outline + box-shadow)

✅ **Color Contrast**: Meets AA standards (4.5:1 for text)

✅ **Motion**: Respects `prefers-reduced-motion`

✅ **High Contrast**: Enhanced borders in high contrast mode

```

### Step 2: Add Container to HTML

```html
<div id="language-flag-picker"></div>
```

### Step 3: Initialize

```javascript
const picker = new FlagPicker({
    container: '#language-flag-picker',
    value: languageData.flag_code,
    onChange: (code) => {
        // Update language entity
        updateLanguageFlag(code);
    }

## Testing

### Manual Testing

1. ✅ Open `examples/flag-picker-demo.html` in browser
2. ✅ Test search functionality
3. ✅ Test region filtering (all 7 tabs)
4. ✅ Test keyboard navigation
5. ✅ Test dark mode toggle
6. ✅ Test control buttons (set, clear, disable, enable)
7. ✅ Test form integration
8. ✅ Test responsive layout (resize window)

### Unit Testing

```bash
npm test -- flag-picker.test.js
```

Expected: All 40+ tests pass

### Integration Testing

```php
// Test with LanguageManager
$flag_code = 'US';
$is_valid = $language_manager->validateFlagCode($flag_code);
// Should return true for all 249 codes
```

---

## Known Limitations

1. **Internet Required**: Flag images loaded from CDN (requires network access)
2. **CDN Dependency**: If CircleFlags CDN is down, flags fallback to text
3. **Browser Support**: Requires modern browser with ES6 support
4. **Memory**: Loading all 249 flags uses ~2MB memory (acceptable for modern devices)

### Workarounds

**Use Local Flags**:

```javascript
// Modify createFlagElement() method
const flagUrl = `/wp-content/plugins/multilingual-press-zone/assets/flags/${code.toLowerCase()}.svg`;
```

**Use Different CDN**:

```javascript
// Flagpack alternative
const flagUrl = `https://flagcdn.com/w80/${code.toLowerCase()}.png`;
```
