Instructions

Add to dependencies

composer require ckcnet/laravel-world-cities

Load the files from geonames.org

php artisan lwc:download

If you want to only download specific countries:

php artisan lwc:download --countries=US,GB

Insert the cities in the database

First, you need to migrate to create the new lwc_cities and lwc_admin_zones table:

php artisan migrate

Then, insert the cities in your lwc_cities table:

php artisan lwc:seed

This command will only work if you have not specified any countries in previous step. If you did, use this command instead:

php artisan lwc:seed --countries=US,GB

Import postal codes if you need to use them

France

php artisan lwc:postalcodes:fr

Usage

Cities are stored in the lwc_cities table, under the Laravel Model CkcNet\LaravelWorldCities\Models\LwcCity

Administrative zones are stored in the lwc_admin_zones table, under the Laravel Model CkcNet\LaravelWorldCities\Models\LwcAdminZones
