Installation
Add webpatser/laravel-countries
to composer.json
.
"webpatser/laravel-countries": "dev-master"
Run composer update
to pull down the latest version of Country List.
If you're using Laravel 5.5, you don't have to edit app/config/app.php
.
Edit app/config/app.php
and add the provider
and filter
'providers' => [
'Webpatser\Countries\CountriesServiceProvider',
]
Now add the alias.
'aliases' => [
'Countries' => 'Webpatser\Countries\CountriesFacade',
]
Publish the public assets:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider='Webpatser\\Countries\\CountriesServiceProvider' --tag=assets
Model
You can start by publishing the configuration. This is an optional step, it contains the table name and does not need to be altered. If the default name countries
suits you, leave it. Otherwise run the following command
$ php artisan vendor:publish
Next generate the migration file:
$ php artisan countries:migration
$ composer dump-autoload
It will generate the <timestamp>_setup_countries_table.php
migration and the CountriesSeeder.php
seeder. To make sure the data is seeded insert the following code in the seeds/DatabaseSeeder.php
//Seed the countries
$this->call('CountriesSeeder');
$this->command->info('Seeded the countries!');
You may now run it with the artisan migrate command:
$ php artisan migrate --seed
After running this command the filled countries table will be available
