## Usage

Install via `composer require rinvex/countries`, then use intuitively:

```php

// 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 = \Rinvex\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? :smiley:
