Replacing id with code within library

To ease the use of this dataset, the id field has been replaced with code field.

This field has no impact on the data itself. It is only used to facilitate the use of the data.

What logic was used to generate the code field?

It implements the generateCode function which is used to generate codes based on the following principle:

1. Eliminate duplicates in the data.
2. Sort objects in the list alphabetically by the "name" key.
3. Codes are generated by taking the first three letters of each key.
4. If codes are identical:

   • The first occurrence is kept.

   • From the second to the last occurrence of the repetition, for each one, the next letter is taken to form a new three-letter code. Example: "abomey", "abomey-calavi"... Results: "abo", "abm"

   • If the key runs out of letters, a rising digit is added to form a new three-letter code. Example: "zou" and "zous" might result in "zo1" and "zo2" respectively.
