List all regions

[sts-ryan-holton]

Hi, I need to get all of the regions broken down into the following categories:

• Europe
• US/Canada
• Asia/Oceania
• Middle East/Africa
• Americas

This is my current approach:

// Europe
$euCountries = \Rinvex\Country\CountryLoader::where('geo.region', 'Europe');

// US/Canada
$usCountries = \Rinvex\Country\CountryLoader::where('geo.region', 'US/Canada');

// Asia/Oceania
$asiaCountries = \Rinvex\Country\CountryLoader::where('geo.region', 'Asia/Oceania');

// Middle East/Africa
$middleEastCountries = \Rinvex\Country\CountryLoader::where('geo.region', 'Middle Ease/Africa');

// Americas
$americasCountries = \Rinvex\Country\CountryLoader::where('geo.region', 'Americas');

return response()->json([
    'all_regions' => \Rinvex\Country\CountryLoader::whereNotNull('geo.region')->count(),
    'eu' => count($euCountries),
    'us' => count($usCountries),
    'aso' => count($asiaCountries),
    'mea' => count($middleEastCountries),
    'sa' => count($americasCountries)
], 200);

I get countries back for Europe and Americas, but not the others. I tried listing regions but nothing shows up?

Thanks for your question, it’s not returning all results because you’re not calling the right region names.

Checkout data files to see the right names, for example Egypt > Africa https://github.com/rinvex/countries/blob/master/resources/data/eg.json

It might be helpful to get all countries details to see all the regions before splitting, happy coding 🙌
