Don't forget to use the BD class:

To get all divisions of Bangladesh as an array of Location object:

BD::division()->all();

BD::district()->all();

To get all sub-districts/upazilas of Bangladesh as an array of Location object:

BD::subDistrict()->all();

To get all unions of Bangladesh of Bangladesh as an array of Location object:

BD::union()->all();

To get all the districts of division that start with 5 character chatt(Chattogram), we can use the following code. Same thing will work for sub-disctrict and union. But in case of sub-district and union we need to pass district and sub_district respectively.

BD::district()->getWhere('division', 'chatt');
BD::subDistrict()->getWhere('district', 'brahm');
BD::union()->getWhere('sub_district', 'sarai');

To get the district that has name Brahmanbaria we can use the following code. Same thing will work for division, sub-district and union also. Insead of name we can pass short_name(first 3 letter of the location), bengali_name also.

BD::district()->getWhere('name', 'brahmanbaria');
or 
BD::district()->getWhere('name', '=', 'brahmanbaria');

To get all the districts that contains the letter rahman in it's name we can use the following code. Same thing will work for division, sub-district and union also. Insead of name we can pass short_name(first 3 letter of the location), bengali_name also.

BD::district()->getWhere('name', 'like', 'rahman');

Note: We have only = and like as operator here. No other operator will work here.

Wishlist
