GeoData::countries(includeHistorical: true);   // all 295 including historical
GeoData::searchCountries('Roman');             // search by name

[](#fiscalcode-facade)

```
use DiegoCopat\LaravelGeodata\Facades\FiscalCode;

// Generate
$cf = FiscalCode::generate([
    'firstname' => 'Mario',
    'lastname' => 'Rossi',
    'gender' => 'M',
    'birth_date' => '1990-01-15',
    'birth_city' => 'Trento',
    'birth_province' => 'TN',
]);
// Returns: RSSMRA90A15L378X

// Generate with direct Belfiore code
$cf = FiscalCode::generate([
    'firstname' => 'Mario',
    'lastname' => 'Rossi',
    'gender' => 'M',
    'birth_date' => '1990-01-15',
    'belfiore_code' => 'L378',
]);

// Generate for foreign-born
$cf = FiscalCode::generate([
    'firstname' => 'Ion',
    'lastname' => 'Popescu',
    'gender' => 'M',
    'birth_date' => '1988-03-10',
    'birth_country' => 'Romania',
]);

// ]
```

### Eloquent Models

[](#eloquent-models)

All models are available for direct queries:

```
use DiegoCopat\LaravelGeodata\Models\{Country, Region, Province, City};

// Scopes
Country::active()->get();
City::byProvince('TN')->get();
City::byBelfiore('L378')->first();
City::capitals()->get();

// Relationships
$city = City::find(1);
$city->province;
$city->province->region;
$city->province->region->country;

$province = Province::byCode('TN')->first();
$province->cities;
$province->region;
```

Artisan Commands
----------------

[](#artisan-commands)

### Seeding (country-scoped)

[](#seeding-country-scoped)

```
# Seed world countries + all available detail data (currently: Italy)
php artisan geodata:seed

# Seed world countries + only Italy detail (regions, provinces, cities)
php artisan geodata:seed --country=it

# Later: add Germany detail without touching Italy
php artisan geodata:seed --country=de

# Multiple countries at once
php artisan geodata:seed --country=it --country=de --country=fr

# Fresh reload — country-scoped (only clears Italy's regions/provinces/cities)
php artisan geodata:seed --country=it --fresh

# Fresh reload everything
php artisan geodata:seed --fresh

# Seed only countries (skip detail data)
php artisan geodata:seed --no-countries --country=it

# List available country data packages
php artisan geodata:seed --list
```

### Data management

[](#data-management)

```
# Update data files from remote source
php artisan geodata:update

# Preview changes without downloading
php artisan geodata:update --dry-run

# Show statistics
php artisan geodata:stats
```

### Adding a new country

[](#adding-a-new-country)

To add geographic data for a new country, create a directory under `database/data/countries/`:

```
database/data/countries/de/
├── regions.json       # German Bundesländer
├── provinces.json     # Kreise/Landkreise
├── cities.json        # Gemeinden
└── cap.json           # Postleitzahlen (optional)

```

Then run `php artisan geodata:seed --country=de`. See the `it/` directory for the expected JSON format.

Data Sources
------------

[](#data-sources)

- [DarioCorno/database\_comuni\_italiani](https://github.com/DarioCorno/database_comuni_italiani) — ISTAT-based Italian geographic data
