```
'providers' => [
    ...
    /*
     * Package Service Providers...
     */
    Composite\LaravelVin\VinServiceProvider::class,
    ...
],

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Vin' => Composite\LaravelVin\Facades\Vin::class,
    ...
],
```

Usage

[](#usage)

```
use Composite\LaravelVin\Facades\Vin;

// validate
Vin::validate('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // true

// parse
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // Vin object

// get information
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987')->getWmi(); // WBA
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987')->getVds(); // 3A5C51
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987')->getVis(); // CF256987
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987')->getManufacturer(); // BMW
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987')->getRegion(); // Europe
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987')->getCountry(); // Germany
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987')->getModelYear(); // [2012]

// get information directly from vin
Vin::getWmi('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // WBA
Vin::getVds('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // 3A5C51
Vin::getVis('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // CF256987
Vin::getManufacturer('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // BMW

Vin::getCountry('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // Germany
Vin::getModelYear('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // [2012]

// to get info in an array you can call toArray() method
// or just return the object to get in json format
// or give vin number directly to toArray() method
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987')->toArray(); // ['wmi' => 'WBA', 'vds' => '3A5C51', 'vis' => 'CF256987', 'manufacturer' => 'BMW', 'region' => 'Europe', 'country' => 'Germany', 'model_year' => [2012]]
Vin::parse('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // {"wmi":"WBA","vds":"3A5C51","vis":"CF256987","manufacturer":"BMW","region":"Europe","country":"Germany","model_year":[2012]}
Vin::toArray('WBA3A5C51CF256987'); // ['wmi' => 'WBA', 'vds' => '3A5C51', 'vis' => 'CF256987', 'manufacturer' => 'BMW', 'region' => 'Europe', 'country' => 'Germany', 'model_year' => [2012]]
