================================

[](#laravel-nigerian-phone-validator)

Guard your application from problems resulting from improperly validated and formatted Phone Numbers. Send Transactional SMS with your mind at rest. Validate Nigerian Phone Numbers in your Laravel app.

### Introduction

[](#introduction)

This package can be used to validate Nigerian mobile phone numbers. It also provides a helper function to return the validated number in either local or international format.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

[PHP](https://php.net) 5.5+ or [HHVM](http://hhvm.com) 3.3+, and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) are required.

To get the latest version of Laravel Password, simply add the following line to the require block of your `composer.json` file.

```
"christianjombo/laravel-nigerian-phone-validator": "1.0.*"

```

You'll then need to run `composer install` or `composer update` to download it and have the autoloader updated.

- If you're on Laravel 5.5 or above, that's all you need to do! Check out the usage examples below.
- If you're on Laravel < 5.5, you'll need to register the service provider. Open up `config/app.php` and add the following to the `providers` array:

```
ChristianJombo\NigerianPhone\NigerianPhoneServiceProvider::class
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use the rule `nigerian_phone` in your validation like so:

```
/**
 * Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
 *
 * @param  array  $data
 * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
 */
protected function validator(array $data)
{
    return Validator::make($data, [
        'phone' => ['required', 'nigerian_phone'],
    ]);
}
```

By default, the error message returned is `The Phone Number is not a valid Nigerian Phone Number!`.

You can customize the error message by opening `resources/lang/en/validation.php` and adding to the array like so:

```
  'nigerian_phone' => 'Your phone number no be from naija',
```

### Helper function

[](#helper-function)

The package exposes the `nigerian_phone()` helper function that returns a nigerian number formatted to international format (e.g +2348066128880), if `$local` is set to false or not provided. If `$local` is provided and set to true, a local number (e.g 08066128880) is returned. By default, `$local` is set to false:

```
nigerian_phone($number, $local = false)
```
