## Usage

To get a flag, use the following code:

```php{5}
use Lwwcas\LaravelCountries\Models\Country;

$country = Country::inRandomOrder()->first();

$country->getFlagEmoji();
// Output 🇵🇹

```

For each of these formats, we provide dedicated `getters` and `where` methods to make their usage even easy-to-use and more convenient for you.
