Faker provider to generate random valid Swiss locations.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require wnx/faker-swiss-locations
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You first need to add the `Location` provider to Faker.

```
// Add Location Provider to Faker
$faker = Factory::create();
$faker->addProvider(new Wnx\FakerSwissLocations\Provider\Location($faker));
```

You can now call the `postcode()`, `city()` or `canton()` method on faker to get a random valid Swiss location.

> **Note**Calling `postcode()`, `city()` or `canton()` always returns a new random location. If you need the same location for `postcode`, `city` and `canton` use the `location()`-method and access the properties from the instance.

```
// 8000
$faker->postcode();

// Zürich
$faker->city();

// Instance of Wnx\SwissCantons\Canton
$faker->canton();
$faker->canton()->getName(); // Zürich
$faker->canton()->getAbbreviation(); // ZH
```

Or you can call the `location()` method to get a `\Wnx\FakerSwissLocations\Location`-instance. You can access postcode, city and canton from this object too.

```
// Instance of \Wnx\FakerSwissLocations\Location
$location = $faker->location();

$location->postcode; // 8000
$location->city; // Zürich
$location->canton; // Instance of Wnx\SwissCantons\Canton
```
