United States Zipcode Lookup database
=====================================

[](#united-states-zipcode-lookup-database)

This is a Laravel 5 package for easy and simple lookup for geographic data by U.S. zipcode. While there are a few nice solutions like  for online lookup, sometimes i might be preferable to have all the data locally.

The package using the data from  . There is an Artisan command implemented to perform automatic update of the data.

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

[](#installation)

### Step 1

[](#step-1)

Add this to your `composer.json`

```
{
    "require": {
        "dpovshed/zipus": "1.*"
    }
}

```

then install package as usual.

- Laravel 5.5+ will automatically discover the package.

### Step 2

[](#step-2)

Run the following command:

php artisan zipus-import

If everything is fine, as a result in your cache directory you'll have JSONed arrays with the data.

If your application is in debug mode, i.e. *APP\_DEBUG* is set to *true* in the *.env* file, you may visit an URL  to check the lookup process.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Lookup functionality is provided as a service, so use construction like

```
$city = app()->make('zipcode')->getCity('10282');

```

to get city name for a particular zipcode. Result is a string with a city name. To get the all data available please use function named *getData()*:

```
$city = app()->make('zipcode')->getData('10282');

```

You will get a resulting array like:

```
[
  'ZipCodeType' => string 'STANDARD' (length=8)
  'City' => string 'NEW YORK' (length=8)
  'State' => string 'NY' (length=2)
  'LocationType' => string 'PRIMARY' (length=7)
  'Lat' => string '40.71' (length=5)
  ...
];
```

All the elements of an array would be named exactly as a column in original CSV file form  . Please note that package used a database where a patricular zipcode is resolved only to one primary address.

In case passed string is not a valid U.S. zipcode, as a result you will get unchanged zipcode with *getCity()* and an empty array with *getData()*.
