Installation

Either PHP 7.0+ is required.

To get the latest version of cities, simply require the project using Composer:

$ composer require znck/cities

Instead, you may of course manually update your require block and run composer update if you so choose:

{
    "require": {
        "znck/cities": "^0.1.2"
    }
}

Once Cities is installed, you have to register its service provider. Open config/app.php and add Znck\Cities\CitiesServiceProvider::class to providers key. Your config/app.php should look like this.

<?php return [
  // ...
  'providers' => [
    // ....
    Znck\Cities\CitiesServiceProvider::class,
  ]
  // ...
];

Usage

<?php namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Znck\Cities\City as CityTrait;

class City extends Model {
  use CityTrait;
}
  • Cities provides command (php artisan cities:update) to update list in database.

Configuration

Table names for cities and states are required. By default cities and states are used, but you can override these.

To get started, you'll need to publish all vendor assets:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider='Znck\Cities\CitiesServiceProvider'

This will create a config/cities.php file in your app that you can modify to set your configuration. Also, make sure you check for changes to the original config file in this package between releases.

Conventions

Expected schema:

Schema::create('countries', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('code', 2)->unique();
    $table->timestamps();
});

Schema::create('states', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('code', 5)->unique();
    $table->unsignedInteger('country_id');
    $table->timestamps();

    $table->foreign('country_id')->references('id')->on('countries');
});

Schema::create('cities', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('code', 10)->unique();
    $table->unsignedInteger('state_id');
    $table->timestamps();

    $table->foreign('state_id')->references('id')->on('states');
});

Development plan

  • Create minimal working package.
