Laravel Country

Laravel Country, State, City Seeder Package

Hi, I created a package for country, state & and city seeder. You can install and use it in your laravel project. If you are using this package then you can give it a star this package is free, In the future I Will add the country code & phone initials.

What is this library?

This is a library called CSC aka Country-State-City Seeders. While developing, I faced the issues so often that where can I get the seeder files? & how can I manage it? Is there a relationship or not?

So I googled & found some seeders files & with that help, I made this library which already has a relationship between their models.

Why do you need this?

If your project needs the country state & city dropdown & you have no idea about how it works I already made the library for it. Here are some of the points.

Open Source & Free
Easy to install
Easy to modify
Models have already a relationship

For Installation

To install this package you have to install this package using composer.

Note:

Make sure you do not have any country, state & city models or migrations then remove it other this will create conflicts.

How to install it?

composer require zalanihir/country-state-city

For Publishers

For Laravel 10 or Laravel 9

you have to add the bellow line in app.php in providers section.

\Nihir\CountryStateCity\CountryStateCityServiceProvider::class,

For Laravel 11

you have to add the bellow line in providers.php which is In the bootstrap folder.

\Nihir\CountryStateCity\CountryStateCityServiceProvider::class,

publishing command

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nihir\CountryStateCity\CountryStateCityServiceProvider"

The previous command publishes the files in your project.

Now you can simply run the following commands.

php artisan optimize:clear
php artisan config:cache

This will clear your caches

php artisan migrate

This will migrate the tables into databases.

Now add this line in your DataBaseSeeder.php file.

$this->call(CountryStateCityTableSeeder::class);

Now Simplay runs the following command for the seed of the database.

php artisan db:seed

The CountryModel, CityModel & StateModel has already relationships you do not have to worry about relationships & more than that I updated the Country Model, Migration & DataProvider and I added the iso2, iso3, numcode & country phonecode & country Flags as well.

Country Flags

In order to use the country flages you have to first get the flags by using bellow command.

php artisan csc:publish-flags

After the command you will see that in your public folder there is one more folder will be added named flags.So now you have to just use it Here I will give you a basic example of that how to use it you can customize it for sure as per your need.

use App\Models\Country;

$countries = Country::get();

@foreach ($countries as $country)
  <img  src="{{ asset('flags/'.$country->iso2.'.png') }}"  alt="{{ $country->name }}" />
@endforeach

Friendly Note
