/learn @squirephp/SquireREADME
Squire is a library of static Eloquent models for fixture data that is commonly needed in web applications, such as countries, currencies and airports. It's based on the concepts of Caleb Porzio's Sushi package.
Common use cases for Squire include:
- Populating dropdown options, such as a country selector on an address form.
- Attaching extra data to other models in your app, such as airport information to a
Flightmodel. See the section on model relationships. - Validating user input.

Installing a Model
You can use Composer to install Squire models into your application. Each model is available in a variety of languages, and you need only install the ones you will use.
As an example, you can install the Squire\Models\Country model in English:
composer require squirephp/countries-en
A complete list of available models is below.
Using a Model
You can interact with a Squire model just like you would any other Eloquent model, except that it only handles read-only operations.
use Squire\Models\Country;
Country::all(); // Get information about all countries.
Country::find('us'); // Get information about the United States.
Country::where('name', 'like', 'a%')->get(); // Get information about all countries beginning with the letter "a".

Formatting money
You may use the format() method on any currency model instance to format a given number in that currency:
Currency::find('usd')->format(500) // $5.00
Currency::find('usd')->format(500, true) // $500.00, converted
This functionality uses akaunting/laravel-money internally.
