Just did a composer update and the latest update appears to have broken things.

Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump
@php artisan package:discover

In Container.php line 767:

Class PragmaRX\Countries\Package\Services\Cache does not exist

It's in the PragmaRX\Countries package. I cleared my composer cache reinstalled all and still occurs.

I just upgraded from 0.5.2 and discovered that the validations no longer work, throwing a BadMethodCallException: Method Illuminate\Validation\Validator::validateCca2 does not exist. I discovered that the validator extensions were not being loaded at all, and traced that back to the service provider now being deferred.

As a workaround, I just added app('pragmarx.countries'); to my own AppServiceProvider to manually resolve the provider on every request, which then registers the validator extensions, and everything is happy again.

I'm not sure of the best solution to this issue. Perhaps it would be best to convert the validation extensions to Rule objects that will resolve the provider when needed without having to disable deferred loading all together.

Anyone have such issue ? How to fix it ?

Hello,
Thank You, Mr @antonioribeiro For This Cool Package 📦

It Would Be Cool If The Is A Localization Feature So Any One Could Use Its Own Languages
For Example I May Want To The Countries Name To Be In Arabic
Brazil Become برازيل In Arabic

I Believe This Would Be Helpful Of Course We Are Ready To Contribute

Since this package is specifically for Laravel, which it depends on, it shouldn't pull in these redundant packages that duplicate Laravel functionality. It may be minor, but each additional file, class, and function loaded in a project can have an impact on performance.

How to set the default country selected from the list while updating the form?

It is possible to put one of the translations by default.

It is that my system is in Spanish, and I would like to list in a pluck all the countries, but that they are translated at once, and any query that this one makes in Spanish.

I saw that in laravel there is a configuration file but do not notice how to put by default all the results are in spa

$countries= \Countries::whereIn('cca2', $array)->sortBy('name')->pluck('name.common', 'cca2')->toArray();
Is this not supported anymore?

I was using pragmarx/countries:0.1.1 (way too old version) which get me wrong name for czech republic.
So now trying to update to latest version we needed to pull in this package but sadly whereIn was not working for this package.
Was i doing anything wrong? or there is different methods now?

Please how can i install PragmaRX/countries-laravel in laravel 9. Love this pack a lot. I don't think there is any package better than this

I recently switched from the countries package to the countries-laravel package.

I've cleared the composer cache and ensured that the initial package has been removed. Im working on a 'local' environment using Laravel 5.8.

The config states:

cache' => [
    'enabled' => true,

    'service' => PragmaRX\Countries\Package\Services\Cache\Service::class,

    'duration' => 180,

    'directory' => sys_get_temp_dir().'/__PRAGMARX_COUNTRIES__/cache',
],

The previous package had the same configuration, but the directory was set to sys_get_temp_dir().'/__pragmarx-countries-cache__'.

Now when I run a piece of code which accesses countries, the same __pragmarx-countries-cache__ directory is created in my system tmp directory where it should be creating __PRAGMARX_COUNTRIES__ and still no cache files are being generated.

I've tried setting my environment to production, but this didnt help.

From following the debugger through the PragmaRX\Countries\Package\Services\Cache\Service it looks like the configuration is completely ignored

/config/countries.php

return [

'cache' => [
    'enabled' => false,
    ...

PHP Warning: fopen(/tmp/pragmarx-countries-cache/_%008ba3f0fd390277cf0a5308fd42dccf46): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

According to documentation, then it should be possible to publish the packages config file using

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=PragmaRX\Countries\ServiceProvider

But no configuration file is generated.

Clearing the cache with php artisan config:clear does not seem to fix the issue nor does php artisan cache:clear

I am currently testing on Laravel 5.5 (and I am using this repository in composer: "pragmarx/countries-laravel": "^0.5.2")

I think there's an issue with the thightenco/collect dependency because when I want to install the package it says:

    - pragmarx/coollection v0.5.1 requires tightenco/collect >=5.5.33 -> satisfiable by illuminate/support[v5.5.33, v5.5.34, v5.6.0, v5.6.1, v5.6.2, v5.6.3], tightenco/collect[v5.5.33, v5.6.0, v5.6.11, v5.6.12, v5.6.13, v5.6.14, v5.6.15, v5.6.16, v5.6.17, v5.6.18, v5.6.19, v5.6.20, v5.6.4, v5.6.5, v5.6.6, v5.6.7, v5.6.8, v5.6.9].

And then tells me "Conclusion: don't install laravel/framework" which is pretty ironic. :p

If I try to select multiple countries using an array based on the Collection methods whereIn or whereNotIn, I get no results.

I.e., the following return an empty collection:

Countries::whereIn("name.common", ["Netherlands", "Belgium"])->pluck("name.common");
Countries::whereNotIn("name.common", ["Netherlands", "Belgium"])->pluck("name.common");

While in the same context these work fine:

Countries::where("name.common", "Netherlands")->pluck("name.common");
Countries::where("name.common", "Belgium")->pluck("name.common");

Hi @antonioribeiro ,

Thank you for your work on this package.
I have a question on the validation rules that I don't seem to get working. It looks like the validation rules are not yet loaded before you load app('pragmarx.countries'); explicitly. After that the validation does work correctly.

Version "pragmarx/countries-laravel" === '0.6.3'

Example steps to reproduce the error

class PostController extends Controller

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        // Without this the 'cca2' validation rule gives error. Please toggle on/off.
        $foo = app('pragmarx.countries');

        $validated = $this->validate($request, [
           'country_code' => 'nullable|string|size:2|cca2',
        ];

        dd($validated);
    }

The error I get when the rule is not loaded:

Method Illuminate\Validation\Validator::validateCca2 does not exist.

Perhaps this has something to do with the defered state in \PragmaRX\CountriesLaravel\Package\ServiceProvider ?

There is an error when installing on Laravel 7:

Problem 1
    - Conclusion: remove nesbot/carbon 2.31.0
    - Conclusion: don't install nesbot/carbon 2.31.0
    - pragmarx/ia-collection v5.5.33 requires nesbot/carbon ~1.20 ->

I installed it on Laravel 5.6. It gives "Call to undefined method Monolog\Logger::listen()" error

vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Log/LogManager.php

     * @param array  $context
     *
     * @return void

    public function log($level, $message, array $context = [])
    {
        return $this->driver()->log($level, $message, $context);
    }
 
    /**
     * Dynamically call the default driver instance.
     *

    public function __call($method, $parameters)
    {
        return $this->driver()->$method(...$parameters);
    }
}
 

error on this line

Thanks for a great package! It works well for generating a list of Brazillian states.

I'm just struggling with the cities. This doesn't work:

Countries::where('name.common', 'Brazil')
  ->first()
  ->hydrateCities()
  ->cities
  ->where('adm1name', 'Amapá')
  ->pluck('name')
  ->toArray();

But this does:

Countries::where('name.common', 'Brazil')
  ->first()
  ->hydrateCities()
  ->cities
  ->where('adm1name', 'Amapá')
  ->pluck('name')
  ->toArray();

I'm on Laravel 7, PHP 7.4.

What can I change in what I'm doing to get it to filter the cities by the state name?

Hello,
In my Laravel 8 app I need to show country flag and I installed package
antonioribeiro/countries-laravel

But I did not fin if it supports abbreviation(like ‘AF’,'FR') ?

I trierd to make like :
$nextFlag = Countries::where('abbreviation', 'AF');
and several options like 'abbreviation', but in all cases I ghot empty collection...

Which way is valid ?

Thanks!

Your package is making calls to string helper functions such as camel_case which have been removed in Laravel 6. It would be nice to get an update on this package so I don't have to pull in the string helpers package just to make stuff work again whenever this package is called in the application.

Hi @antonioribeiro.

I have a (probably dumb) question.

How do you use the flags directly?

I've hydrated it and they're coming on the Countries...

The thing is that they just spit out some html and I've used it with the:

{!! $country->flag-icon !!}     // prints <span class="flag-icon flag-icon-abw"></span>

or

{!! $country->flag-icon-squared !!}      // prints <span class="flag-icon flag-icon-abw flag-icon-squared"></span>

or even

{!! $country->world-flags-sprite !!}     // prints <span class="flag abw"></span>

It seems that you are using the convention

<span class="flag-icon flag-icon-{{ strtolower($country->ccn3) }}"></span> // this works

and every package ob github that matches this "style" is using another convention

<span class="flag-icon flag-icon-{{ strtolower($country->cca2) }}"></span>    // this is what I found online on https://github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css

I think there's an issue when updating countries because when I want run php artisan countries:update with the package ("pragmarx/countries-laravel": "^0.7.0"), it says:

 Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException

  Target class [PragmaRX\CountriesLaravel\Package\Update\Updater] does not exist.
