Credit ------ [](#credit) This was forked from due to an issue with string padding on the lodgement reference. This fork fixes the text to be left justified as opposed to right justified. Features -------- [](#features) - Simple API - Framework agnostic Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 5.4+ Installation ------------ [](#installation) `Aba` is available via Composer ``` $ composer require abwebdevelopers/aba-generator ``` Integrations ------------ [](#integrations) ##### Laravel integrations [](#laravel-integrations) Although `Aba` is framework agnostic, it does support Laravel out of the box and comes with a Service provider and Facade for easy integration. After you have installed the `Aba`, open the `config/app.php` file which is included with Laravel and add the following lines. In the `$providers` array add the following service provider. ``` ABWebDevelopers\AbaGenerator\AbaServiceProvider::class ``` Add the facade of this package to the `$aliases` array. ``` 'Aba' => ABWebDevelopers\AbaGenerator\Facades\Aba::class, ``` You can now use this facade in place of instantiating the converter yourself in the following examples. Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use ABWebDevelopers\AbaGenerator\Aba; $aba = new Aba(); // Descriptive record or file header // The header information is included at the top of every ABA file // and is used to describe your bank details. $aba->addFileDetails([ 'bank_name' => 'CBA', // bank name 'user_name' => 'Your account name', // Account name 'bsb' => '062-111', // bsb with hyphen 'account_number' => '101010101', // account number 'remitter' => 'Name of remitter', // Remitter 'user_number' => '301500', // User Number (as allocated by APCA). The Commonwealth bank default is 301500 'description' => 'Payroll', // description 'process_date' => '270616' // DDMMYY - Date to be processed ]); // Add a transaction or Detail record $aba->addTransaction([ 'bsb' => '111-111', // bsb with hyphen 'account_number' => '999999999', 'account_name' => 'Jhon doe', 'reference' => 'Payroll number', 'transaction_code' => '53', 'amount' => '250.87' ]); $abaFileContent = $aba->generate(); // Generate ABA string. $aba->download(); ``` ###### Mutiple transactions [](#mutiple-transactions) ``` $transactions = [ [ 'bsb' => '111-111', // bsb with hyphen 'account_number' => '999999999', 'account_name' => 'Jhon doe', 'reference' => 'Payroll number', 'transaction_code' => '53', 'amount' => '250.87' ], [ 'bsb' => '222-2222', // bsb with hyphen 'account_number' => '888888888', 'account_name' => 'Foo Bar', 'reference' => 'Rent', 'transaction_code' => '50', 'amount' => '300' ] ]; foreach ($transactions as $transaction) { $aba->addTransaction($transaction); } $aba->generate(); $aba->download("Multiple-transactions"); ``` #### Laravel example [](#laravel-example) ``` use Aba; // Descriptive record or file header // The header information is included at the top of every ABA file // and is used to describe your bank details.
