/laravel-5-us-states-seeder

Provides a simple United States database table Seeder for Laravel 5+

Primary LanguagePHP

This is to help simplify the creation of static state names and codes within a State table. Changed the 50+ State::create method calls from ggoforth's original repo into an array of states with a single State::insert call. It's an easy enough change to make on your own, but now you don't have to.

#Laravel 5 State Seeder

Usage

$ php artisan make:model State

This will generate the model and migration for your database. In your migration you need to include string fields for code and name. Then simply drop the StatesSeeder.php into your seeds folder. Back at the command line run:

$ php artisan migrate
$ php artisan db:seed

You'll now have a functional States database suitable for populating drop downs or whatever else you crazy kids do with your states tables.
