Simple and light PHP library that handles Countries, Currencies, Languages, and Timezones

Useful for any application that needs localization.

Requirements

PHP >= 8.2

Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require macmotp/locale

Usage

Create Country objects

use Macmotp\Country;
use Macmotp\Countries\Support\CountryCode;

// Create the object
$countryCode = CountryCode::US; // Use alpha2 ISO code
$country = new Country($countryCode);

// Alternative methods: 
$country = new Country('US');
$country = Country::make($countryCode);

echo $country->toArray();

// [
//    'continent' => 'North America',
//    'name' => 'United States of America',
//    'capital' => 'Washington, D.C.',
//    'code' => 'US',
//    'alpha3_code' => 'USA',
//    'dial_code' => '+1',
//    'tld' => '.us',
//    'date_format' => 'm-d-Y',
//    'flag' => 'us',
//    'default_currency' => [
//       'name' => 'United States Dollar',
//       'code' => 'USD',
//       'symbol' => '$',
//       'flag' => 'us',
//       'format' => [
//          ...
//       ],
//    ],
//    'default_timezone' => [
//       'name' => 'America/New_York',
//       'code' => 'America/New_York',
//    ],
//    'default_language' => [
//       'name' => 'English',
//       'code' => 'en',
//       'english_name' => 'English',
//       'flag' => 'gb',
//    ],

//    'timezones' => [...],
//    'languages' => [...],
// ]

List of basic dynamic methods

getContinent(): it returns the continent (string);
getName(): it returns the name (string);
getCapital(): it returns the capital (string);
getCode(): it returns the country code (alpha2) (string);
getAlpha3Code(): it returns the country code (alpha3) (string);
getDialCode(): it returns the dial code (string);
getTld(): it returns the internet tld (string);
getDateFormat(): it returns the date format (string);
getFlag(): it returns the flag code (string);
getDefaultCurrency(): it returns the default currency (object Macmotp\Currency);
getDefaultTimezone(): it returns the default timezone (object Macmotp\Timezone);
getDefaultLanguage(): it returns the default locale language (object Macmotp\Language);
toArray(): it returns the object into array;

// Example
use Macmotp\Country;

$country = new Country('US');

echo $country->getDefaultCurrency()->getCode();
// (string) 'USD'

echo $country->getFlag();
// (string) 'us'

List of advanced dynamic methods

getCurrencies(): it returns a Collection with all the currencies adopted in that country;
getTimezones(): it returns a Collection with all the timezones applied in that country;
getLanguages(): it returns a Collection with all the languages used in that country;

// Example
use Macmotp\Country;
use Macmotp\Countries\Support\CountryCode;

$country = new Country(CountryCode::AU);

echo $country->getTimezones();
// (Collection)
// [
//    ['code' => 'Antarctica/Macquarie', 'name' => 'Antarctica/Macquarie'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Adelaide', 'name' => 'Australia/Adelaide'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Brisbane', 'name' => 'Australia/Brisbane'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Broken_Hill', 'name' => 'Australia/Broken_Hill'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Darwin', 'name' => 'Australia/Darwin'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Eucla', 'name' => 'Australia/Eucla'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Hobart', 'name' => 'Australia/Hobart'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Lindeman', 'name' => 'Australia/Lindeman'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Lord_Howe', 'name' => 'Australia/Lord_Howe'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Melbourne', 'name' => 'Australia/Melbourne'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Perth', 'name' => 'Australia/Perth'],
//    ['code' => 'Australia/Sydney', 'name' => 'Australia/Sydney'],
//  ]

List of Countries in the package

use Macmotp\Country;

$list = Country::all();
// it returns a Collection with all countries

Filter Countries by property

usingCurrency($currencyCode): it returns a Collection with all the currencies adopted in that country;
usingLanguage($language): it returns a Collection with all the countries speaking a specific language;
ofContinent($continent): it returns a Collection with all the countries that belong to a continent;

// Examples
use Macmotp\Continent;
use Macmotp\Country;
use Macmotp\Language;

echo Country::all()->usingCurrency('USD');
// (Collection) [
//    [
//       'continent' => 'North America',
//       'name' => 'United States of America',
//       'code' => 'US',
//       ...
//    ],
//    [
//       'continent' => 'North America',
//       'name' => 'El Salvador',
//       'code' => 'ES',
//       ...
//    ],
//    ...
// ]

$list = Country::all()->usingLanguage(Language::ENGLISH);
// (Collection) [
//    [
//       'continent' => 'North America',
//       'name' => 'United States of America',
//       'code' => 'US',
//       ...
//    ],
//    [
//       'continent' => 'Europe',
//       'name' => 'United Kingdom',
//       'code' => 'GB',
//       ...
//    ],
//    ...
// ]

These methods can be chained, for example: Country::all()->ofContinent(Continent::EUROPE)->usingLanguage(Language::ENGLISH);

Localization

In addition to the default functions, it's possible to localize the response. By default, English is used as primary locale.

use Macmotp\Country;
use Macmotp\Countries\Support\CountryCode;
use Macmotp\Languages\Support\Locale;

// Create the object with locale
$country = new Country(CountryCode::US);

echo $country->setLocale(Locale::JAPANESE)->toArray();

// [
//    'continent' => '北アメリカ',
//    'name' => 'アメリカ合衆国',
//    'capital' => 'ワシントンD.C.',
//    ...
// ]

Supported Locales

Locale::ARABIC = 'ar';
Locale::GERMAN = 'de';
Locale::ENGLISH = 'en';
Locale::SPANISH = 'es';
Locale::FRENCH = 'fr';
Locale::HINDI = 'hi';
Locale::HUNGARIAN = 'hu';
Locale::INDONESIAN = 'id';
Locale::ITALIAN = 'it';
Locale::JAPANESE = 'ja';
Locale::KOREAN = 'ko';
Locale::MALAY = 'ms';
Locale::DUTCH = 'nl';
Locale::PORTUGUESE = 'pt';
Locale::ROMANIAN = 'ro';
Locale::RUSSIAN = 'ru';
Locale::TAMIL = 'ta';
Locale::CHINESE = 'zh';

Flags

In addition to the source code, you can find a set of SVG flags here. These icons are tight to the getFlag() method, and they are associated also with Currencies and Languages.
