Brazilian Regions for Laravel

A Laravel package that provides migrations, seeders, and Eloquent models for countries, states, and cities — with full data for all Brazilian states and municipalities.

Data sourced from the IBGE Localities API.

Features

• All world countries with M49 codes and region classification
• All 27 Brazilian states with regional data
• All Brazilian municipalities (5,000+)
• Ready-to-use Eloquent models with relationships
• Fully configurable table names, column names, and models
• Auto-discovery support for Laravel 9+

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• Laravel 9.0+

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require paulofelipem/brazilian-regions

The service provider is registered automatically. If needed, you can register it manually in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    PauloFelipeM\BrazilianRegions\BrazilianRegionsServiceProvider::class,
],

Publish the configuration and migration files:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="PauloFelipeM\BrazilianRegions\BrazilianRegionsServiceProvider"

Note: This publishes a config/brazilianregions.php file. If you already have a file with that name, rename or remove it before publishing.

Usage

Run the migrations and seeders to create and populate the tables:

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed --class="PauloFelipeM\\BrazilianRegions\\Database\\Seeds\\DatabaseSeeder"

Then use the provided Eloquent models in your application:

use PauloFelipeM\BrazilianRegions\Models\Country;
use PauloFelipeM\BrazilianRegions\Models\State;
use PauloFelipeM\BrazilianRegions\Models\City;

// Get all Brazilian states
$brazil = Country::where('acronym', 'BRA')->first();
$states = $brazil->states;

// Get all cities in a state
$state = State::where('acronym', 'SP')->first();
$cities = $state->cities;

// Navigate from city to country
$city = City::where('name', 'São Paulo')->first();
$state = $city->state;
$country = $city->state->country;

Database Schema

countries

| Column | Description | |-----------|------------------------------| | id | Auto-increment primary key | | m_49 | UN M49 numeric code | | acronym | ISO Alpha-3 country code | | name | Country name | | region | Geographic region |

states

| Column | Description | |------------------|----------------------------| | id | Auto-increment primary key | | acronym | State abbreviation (e.g. SP, RJ) | | name | State name | | region | Region name (e.g. Sudeste) | | region_acronym | Region abbreviation | | country_id | Foreign key to countries |

cities

| Column | Description | |------------|----------------------------| | id | Auto-increment primary key | | name | City name | | state_id | Foreign key to states |

All foreign keys use CASCADE on delete.

Configuration

The published config/brazilianregions.php file allows you to customize:

return [
    // Override the default Eloquent models
    'models' => [
        'country' => PauloFelipeM\BrazilianRegions\Models\Country::class,
        'state'   => PauloFelipeM\BrazilianRegions\Models\State::class,
        'city'    => PauloFelipeM\BrazilianRegions\Models\City::class,
    ],

    // Customize table names
    'tables' => [
        'countries' => 'countries',
        'states'    => 'states',
        'cities'    => 'cities',
    ],

    // Customize foreign key column names
    'columns' => [
        'country_id' => 'country_id',
        'state_id'   => 'state_id',
        'city_id'    => 'city_id',
    ],
];

This is useful when you need to integrate with an existing database schema or extend the default models.
