Display assets - logos and flags
To display logos and flags of states, you can copy the assets to the images
folder in the accessible location of your application.
For example, if you are developing with laravel, copy:
resources/logos
topublic/images/logos
, andresources/flags
topublic/images/flags
Then you can access the assets as follows:
/images/logos/abia.png
/images/flags/abia.png
To Do
- Populate areas (villages, cities, and towns) for most of the remaining states
