Usage

// Get single country
$egypt = country('eg');

// Get country name                                 // Get country native name
echo $egypt->getName();                             echo $egypt->getNativeName();

// Get country official name                        // Get country ISO 3166-1 alpha2 code
echo $egypt->getOfficialName();                     echo $egypt->getIsoAlpha2();

// Get country area                                 // Get country borders
echo $egypt->getArea();                             echo $egypt->getBorders();

// Get country currencies                           // Get country languages
echo $egypt->getCurrencies();                       echo $egypt->getLanguages();

// Get country emoji                                // Get country flag
echo $egypt->getEmoji();                            echo $egypt->getFlag();


// Get all countries                                // Get countries with where condition (continent: Oceania)
$countries = countries();                           $whereCountries = \Rinvex\Country\CountryLoader::where('geo.continent', ['OC' => 'Oceania']);

Note: This package is framework-agnostic, so it’s compatible with any PHP framework whatsoever without any dependencies at all, except for the PHP version itself ^7.0. Awesome, huh? ?

Advanced Usage

Here are different advanced country attributes that are self-descriptive. You can use these attributes to get specific information about any country.

$egypt = country('eg');

// Egypt                                            // مصر
$egypt->getName();                                  $egypt->getNativeName();

// Arab Republic of Egypt                           // جمهورية مصر العربية
$egypt->getOfficialName();                          $egypt->getNativeOfficialName();

// Egyptian                                         // Cairo
