Rinvex Country

Rinvex Country is a simple and lightweight package for retrieving country details with flexibility. A whole bunch of data including name, demonym, capital, iso codes, dialling codes, geo data, currencies, flags, emoji, and other attributes for all 250 countries worldwide at your fingertips.

Usage

Install via composer require rinvex/country, then use as follows:

use Rinvex\Country\Loader;

// Find a country by it's ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (full country details)
$egypt = country('eg'); // OR
$egypt = Loader::country('eg');

// Find all countries as array (short-listed, common country details)
$countries = countries(); // OR
$countries = Loader::countries();

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 >=5.5.9. 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.
