PHP Countries is a library that provides an elegant syntax to country data.
## Installation
You can install PHP Countries via Composer, as follows.
```
composer require rapidwebltd/php-countries
```
## Usage
To use PHP Countries, you must create a new `Countries` object.
```php
use RapidWeb\Countries\Countries;
$countries = new Countries;
```
You can then call various methods on this object, to get country data.
### Retrieving all countries
You can easily retrieve an array of all countries and iterate through them, as follows.
```php
foreach($countries->all() as $country) {
var_dump($country->name.' - '.$country->officialName);
}
```
### Retrieving country by name
Country details can be retrieved from the country's official or common name.
```php
var_dump($countries->getByName('United Kingdom'));
/*
object(RapidWeb\Countries\Country)#4869 (16) {
["name"]=>
string(14) "United Kingdom"
["officialName"]=>
string(52) "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"
["topLevelDomains"]=>
array(1) {

}
*/
```
### Retrieving country by ISO 3166-1 code
You can get the data for a country by its ISO 3166-1 code. The 2 character, 3 character and numeric variations are all accepted.
```php
var_dump($countries->getByIsoCode('USA'));
/*
object(RapidWeb\Countries\Country)#4693 (16) {
["name"]=>
string(13) "United States"
["officialName"]=>
string(24) "United States of America"
// etc...
}
*/
```
### Retrieving country by language spoken
Providing a language, will return an array of all countries in which that language is spoken. You can provide a language name or code.
```php
var_dump($countries->getByLanguage('German'));
/*
array(5) {
[0]=>
object(RapidWeb\Countries\Country)#4913 (16) {
["name"]=>
string(7) "Belgium"
