Usage

You can integrate Nigerian States into your Django forms seamlessly. Below is an example:

Configuration

You can configure Nigerian States by modifying your Django project settings.py:

DEFAULT_GEO_POLITICAL_ZONES = ["North Central", "North West"]

Setting DEFAULT_GEO_POLITICAL_ZONES restricts the choices for (GeoPoliticalZoneField, StateField, or LocalGovernmentField) to the specified zones.

You can also customize fields further by utilizing additional keyword arguments like empty_label and zones:

from django import forms
from nigerian_states.fields import StateFormField, LocalGovernmentField
from nigerian_states.enums import PoliticalZones

zone = GeoPoliticalZoneField(
    label="Zone",
    empty_label="Select a GeoPolitical Zone",  # the first option in the dropdown
    zones=[PoliticalZones.SOUTH_EAST, PoliticalZones.SOUTH_EAST], # limits the field to specified political zones, overriding DEFAULT_GEO_POLITICAL_ZONES
)

Note: In the above, by passing the zones kwargs in the field, It would override the DEFAULT_GEO_POLITICAL_ZONES set in the settings.py

Template Tags

To use the template tags, you need put {% load state_tags %} at the top of your django template. The following template tags are available for use in your Django templates:

• {% get_states_in_zone ZONE_NAME %}: Retrieves the list of states in a geopolitical zone.

• {% get_capital STATE_NAME %}: Returns the capital of the state provided

• {% get_lgas_in_state STATE_NAME %}: Retrieves the list of names of Local Government in the state.

• {% is_state_in_zone ZONE_NAME STATE_NAME %}: Returns a boolean True if the state is from the GeoPolitical Zone.

• {% is_lga_in_state STATE_NAME LGA_NAME %}: Returns a boolean True if the lga is from the state. else False

• {% default_zone %}: Returns the default zone set in the settings.DEFAULT_GEO_POLITICAL_ZONES if set or empty list

• {% get_zone STATE_NAME %}:Returns the name of the Zone which the state belongs to

• {% get_zone_info STATE_NAME %}: Returns a dict of information about the state.
