Usage

Install via composer require sierratecnologia/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 = \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? 😃

Note: When retrieving single country, you'll get the full country details just like the previous example. But when retrieving all countries, you'll get a short-listed result set with common country details for better performance.
