Rinvex Country is a simple and lightweight package for retrieving country details with flexibility. A whole bunch of data including name, demonym, capital, iso codes, dialling codes, geo data, currencies, flags, emoji, and other attributes for all 250 countries worldwide at your fingertips.
Install via composer require rinvex/countries, then use intuitively:
// 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? 😃
