[](#using-the-validation-rule-extension)

You can also use the validation rule extension:

$rules = [
    'vat_number' => ['required', 'valid_vat_number'],
];
```

The validation rule extension also supports validating country code and VAT number separately:

```

    'vat_number' => ['required', 'valid_vat_number:country_code,vat_number'],
];
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The package uses the German eVatR service by default. You can publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="AmondiMedia\VatValidator\Providers\VatValidatorServiceProvider"
```

This will create a `vat_validator.php` file in your config directory.

### Environment Configuration

[](#environment-configuration)

```
EVATR_REQUESTER_VAT_ID=DE123456789
```

- `EVATR_REQUESTER_VAT_ID`: Your German VAT identification number (Umsatzsteuer-Identifikationsnummer) that will be used as the requester in the eVatR API calls.

The package also includes these default configurations:

- Request timeout: 10 seconds
