Laravel show all country list example; In this tutorial, we will show you how to add and show all country list in laravel. In older post we explain laravel php timezone list in dropdown but here we learn display counties in laravel select dropdown list blade file.
Here we will create simple seeder which will save all counties list to database then we get all counties for showing blade files easily.
Step 1: Install Laravel App
First of all, Open terminal OR command prompt and run following command to install laravel fresh app for laravel get country list:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel-country-list
Go inside the app:
laravel-country-list
Step 2: Configure Database Detail
Open the .env file and add your database credentials such as database name, username equally important password:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=db name
DB_USERNAME=db user name
DB_PASSWORD=db password
Step 3: Create Model and Migrateion File
Next step, we need to execute the following command on terminal to generate model, migration file using the following command:
php artisan make:model Country -m
Now open the database/migrations/create_countries_table.php file and put the below code on it;
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateCountriesTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('countries', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->string('code');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('countries');
}
}
Next, open command prompt and execute the following command to create the table into database:
php artisan migrate
Place the below code in app/Models/Country.php file:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Country extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'code'
];
}
Step 2: Make Seeder for Store all Countries
Run the below command in your terminal for creating new seeder..
php artisan make:seeder CountryTableSeeder
Next open the database/seeders/CountryTableSeeder.php file and update the below code on it.
<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Models\Country;
class CountryTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
Country::truncate();

['name' => 'Zambia', 'code' => 'ZM'],
['name' => 'Zimbabwe', 'code' => 'ZW'],
];
foreach ($countries as $key => $value) {
Country::create($value);
}
}
}
After updating the seeder run below command
php artisan db:seed --class=CountryTableSeeder
Step 3: Create Route
In this step, Navigate to routes folder and open web.php. Then add the following routes into web.php file:
routes/web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\CountryController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('countries', [CountryController::class, 'index']);
Step 4: Create Controller
In this step, we will create a new controller using the following command:
php artisan make:controller CountryController
Next open the app/Http/Controllers/CountryController.php file and put the below code on it:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Country;
class CountryController extends Controller
{
/**
* Write code on Method
*
* @return response()
*/
public function index()
{
$countries = Country::all();
return view('country',compact('countries'));
}
}
Step 5: Create Blade Files
Now create a blade file named as country.blade.php or you can use your existing blades for showing the country list…
Now, open the resources/views/country.blade.php file and put the below code on it;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 mx-auto">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
<div class="mb-3">
<h2>Registration</h2>
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="name" class="form-label">Name:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" aria-describedby="emailHelp">
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1" class="form-label">Email:</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" aria-describedby="emailHelp">
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="password" class="form-label">Password:</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="password" aria-describedby="emailHelp">
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="password" class="form-label">Select Country:</label>
<select class="form-select">
@foreach ($countries as $country)
<option value="{{$country->id}}">{{$country->name}} - {{$country->code}}</option>
@endforeach
</select>
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<button class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Step 6: Run Development Server
Finally, we need to run the following PHP artisan serve command to start laravel showing the all country list in laravel dropdown blade file:
php artisan serve
Now open browser and hit the following URL into browser:
localhost:8000/countries
Now the How to Add and Show all Country List in Laravel example tutorial is over now…If you want to ask questions or something else please comment or email use. We will come again with best examples here…
In the migration file you should have class CountryTableSeeder extends Seeder NOT class CountrySeeder extends Seeder.
