Introduction 🖖

This package offers a simple way to get the regions, departments, communes and localities of the Niger Republic (NE:+227) that you might need for your application - for example, for drop-down menus.

Step One - Install via Composer 🎼

Require the package via composer into your project

composer require elbrahms/niger-location

Step Two - Publish Configurations ⚙️

Laravel location provides you with an easy way of customizing the tables used for storing Countries, States and Cities. Also, you can customisethe route prefix and middleware. To customize these you need to publish the configuration file. To publish the configuration file, run:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=niger-location

You will have config/location.php available for you to edit. The default configurations are:

<?php

return [
    'countries_table' => 'countries',
    'regions_table' => 'regions',
    'departements_table' => 'departements',
    'communes_table' => 'communes',
    'localites_table' => 'localites',
    'country_initial_id' => 159, //for Niger Republic
    'routes' => [
        'prefix' => 'location',
        'middleware' => 'web'
    ]
];

You can go ahead and customize the table names, route prefix and middleware as you need before running the Migration.

Step Three - Running Migrations

Before you do this make sure your correct Database credentials are set in the .env file

php artisan migrate

Finally, run the Package seeders

php artisan db:seed --class=Elbrahms\NigerLocation\Database\Seeders\LocationDatabaseSeeder

Usage 🧨

NOTE
The routes below are prefixed with location which is the default configuration set in the config/location.php file. If mofified, replace the prefixin your route with the correct prefix.
