Verification of validity, company name, and address of the company is only one api call away. How to use laravel-vatnumber-checker ------------------------------------ [](#how-to-use-laravel-vatnumber-checker) ### Installation [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require burtds/laravel-vatnumber-checker ``` Afterwords, you're able to fetch your desired information. ### Usage [](#usage) This packages uses an API provided by the European Commission called "[VIES](https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation)". We'll need to import the Facade of this package on top of your file. ``` use Burtds\VatChecker\Facades\VatChecker ``` Once that is done, you'll be able to use the provide functions. For this example we're using the VAT Number of Vulpo BV. ``` $validVatNumber = '0749617582' // Vulpo BV's VAT number // returns a raw response of the European Commission's API VatChecker::getRawVatInstance('BE', $validVatNumber); // returns the validity of a VAT number VatChecker::isVatValid('BE', $validVatNumber); // returns the company name related to the VAT number VatChecker::getCompanyName('BE', $validVatNumber); // returns the company address related to the VAT number VatChecker::getCompanyAddress('BE', $validVatNumber); ``` There is also single parameter support for all methods. ``` $validVatNumber = 'BE0749617582' // Vulpo BV's VAT number // returns a raw response of the European Commission's API VatChecker::getRawVatInstance($validVatNumber); // returns the validity of a VAT number VatChecker::isVatValid($validVatNumber); ... ``` ### Validation Rule [](#validation-rule) This package also provides a simple validation rule. ``` use Burtds\VatChecker\Rules\VatNumber; $validatedData = $request->validate([ 'vat_number' => ['required', new VatNumber], ]); ``` This example will pass the validation when the provided vat number is valid. If not, it will return a neat error message. Testing & Code Formatting ----------------------------- [](#testing--code-formatting) For testing you can run: ``` composer test ``` For formatting the code using Laravel Pint you can run: ``` composer format ``` Security Vulnerabilities ------------------------ [](#security-vulnerabilities) If you discover a security vulnerability within this package, please send me an e-mail via .
