en\_IE/Address
--------------

[](#en_ieaddress)

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev affinity4/faker

```

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Configure your instance of Faker to use the provider

```
$faker = \Faker\Factory::create();
$faker->addProvider(new \Affinity4\Faker\en_IE\Address\Address($faker));

$faker->address(); // 123C Pearse Heights, Arklow, Galway, Ireland, V50 Z9U1
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

#### Address

[](#address)

```
$faker->buildingNumber(); // 123C Pearse Heights, Arklow, Galway, Ireland, V50 Z9U1
```

#### Building Number

[](#building-number)

```
$faker->buildingNumber(); // 123 or 123C
```

#### Street

[](#street)

```
$faker->street(); // Pearse Heights
```

#### Town

[](#town)

```
$faker->town(); // Arklow
```

#### County

[](#county)

```
$faker->county(); // Galway

// or...
$faker->county(with_prefix: true); // Co. Galway
```

#### Province

[](#province)

```
$faker->province(); // Connacht
```

#### Country

[](#country)

```
$faker->country(); // Ireland
```

#### Eircode

[](#eircode)

```
$faker->eircode(); // V50 Z9U1

// or...
$faker->eircode(with_spaces: false); // V50Z9U1
```

You can also tell it not to use valid Eircodes by ensuring that the Routing Key (the first 3 characters) are never in real eircode routing keys. This is useful if you want to ensure your eircodes are definitely always fake.

```
$faker->eircode(allow_existing_routing_keys: false); // Z99 Z9U1
```
