Its aim is making sure the addresses submitted by users are valid through 3rd party services, as google. Installation ============ [](#installation) Begin by installing the package through Composer. Run the following command in your terminal: ``` composer require gocanto/places-validation ``` Once composer is done, add the package service provider in the providers array in `config/app.php`: ``` Gocanto\AddressValidation\ValidatorServiceProvider::class ``` Client Side =========== [](#client-side) `Vuejs` component which implements the google autocomplete library: - Repository: [](https://github.com/gocanto/google-autocomplete) - Demo: [](https://gocanto.github.io/google-autocomplete/) Settings ======== [](#settings) You will be able to set the validator driver into `config/addressval.php` file. At the moment, the package just has the ability to work with google, but others services are planned ahead. The array driver looks like this: ``` 'driver' => [ //api key if required 'key' => '', //driver object 'name' => 'GeoogleGeocode', //api url 'api' => 'http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json' ], ``` if you do not set the driver within this file, the default one will be used. Validate user address using the Laravel validator object ======================================================== [](#validate-user-address-using-the-laravel-validator-object) Now you will be able to use this package to validate the user address information within your validations rules. This is how it would look like: ``` $rules = [ 'address' => 'valid_place' ]; $data = [ 'address' => 'Guacara, Carabobo, Venezuela' ]; $v = \Validator::make($data, $rules); ``` You will be able to see the implementation on [ManagerTest](https://github.com/gocanto/places-validation/blob/master/tests/ManagerTest.php#L30-L57) Use out of the Laravel object ============================= [](#use-out-of-the-laravel-object) To implement the validation within your project, you have to include the Checker object as so: ``` use Gocanto\AddressValidation\Lib\Checker; ``` then, you can let laravel to handle the dependency injection for you, as so: ``` public function index(Checker $places) { if ( ! $v = $places->validate('Guacara, Carabobo, Venezuela')) { //the place is not valid. } //retrieve the place information. dd($v->retrieve(), $v->location()); } ``` ***Output Illustration*** [![example](https://github.com/gocanto/places-validation/raw/dev/src/Examples/google-output.png)](https://github.com/gocanto/places-validation/blob/dev/src/Examples/google-output.png) Inspiration =========== [](#inspiration) The inspiration came from a needed of using the validation within a form request object. I used [Prosper Otemuyiwa](https://github.com/unicodeveloper/laravel-password) package to have a scope of what I had to do.
