UPDATE (v2.0.4)

• Your own migration name,

• Set model from config,

• Performance improvement.

• v2.0.3

  • KEEP needed columns only,
  • direct control via config file.

Laravel-Country.io - artisan based package that can fetch countries list with details aka:

• Code
• Continent
• Capital
• GDP
• Population
• ISO2/3
• Language
• Population

and more directly from Country.io and store it directly into file|db.

Installation

$ composer require anandpilania/laravel-country.io

FIRST STEP

$ php artisan vendor:publish --tag=countryio-config

and configure config according to your need.

OPTIONAL STEP

$ php artisan vendor:publish --tag=countryio-migration

BEFORE USING

Configure/adjust countryio config file according to your need

  - table_name          - table name for storing in DB,
  - model               - Define your own `Model` class [\App\Models\Country::class],
  - cols_type           - `plain|json` [`plain` aka `continent`, `population_total` AND `json` aka `geography.continent`, `population.total`],
  - cols                - `cols_type` free columns,
  - cols_plain|json     - `cols_type` based columns,
  - file                - If not DB, than location of file (`--to=file|db` option of `countryio` artisan command)

How to use

First take a look of supported options

$ php artisan help countryio

--to      : file OR db
--offline : save fetched files to `storage/country` dir
--clean   : clean everything after setup
--fresh   : Fresh install (for `db` use only, truncates)
--silent  : silent work

NOTE: Default location is storage/app/countryio.json

So, if you want to file list only (default): First publish the config file

$ php artisan vendor:publish --tag="countryio-config"

then, change the location: config/countryio.php

'file' => storage_path('app/...');

and fire:

php artisan countryio

FOR db:

anandpilania/laravel-country.io contains Country migration & model

php artisan countryio --to=db

will create migration table (based on countryio config) & CountryIO model (DEFAULT, if not set in config file) & update the database directly.

Why not using migration publish: beacuse if your application already have migration/model for country then ...

Todos

• App use file based table
• Flags

Play with artisan:

Add to routes/console.php:

Artisan::command('countries', function () {
    $count = $this->ask('How many entries?');
    $model = config('countryio.model', \App\Models\CountryIO::class);

    if(!class_exists($model)) {
        $this->error($model . ' not exists!');
    }

    foreach ((new $model)->take($count ?? 10)->get() as $c) {
        $output = '';
        foreach (array_merge(config('countryio.cols', []), config('countryio.cols_' . config('countryio.cols_type', 'plain'), [])) as $col => $enabled) {
            if ($enabled) {
                $output .= $c->{$col} . ', ';
            }
        }

        $this->comment($output);
    }
})->purpose('Check CountryIO');

and php artisan countries :)
