Instructions
------------

[](#instructions)

### Add to dependencies

[](#add-to-dependencies)

```
composer require paulintrognon/laravel-world-cities

```

### Load the files from geonames.org

[](#load-the-files-from-geonamesorg)

```
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

[](#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

[](#import-postal-codes-if-you-need-to-use-them)

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