Laravel EU VAT Validator
========================

[](#laravel-eu-vat-validator)

A Laravel package for validating EU VAT numbers, including local format validation and online validation against the EU VIES API.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require kfoobar/laravel-euro-vat
```

Publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="KFoobar\EuroVAT\EuroVATServiceProvider"
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The configuration file `config/euro-vat.php` allows you to set:

- `urls.number`: Endpoint used when validating a VAT number online.
- `urls.status`: Endpoint used for the VIES status check.
- `ttl.number`: Cache lifetime in minutes for VAT validation results.
- `ttl.status`: Cache lifetime in minutes for VIES status results.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The main service exposes:

- `validate(string $number, ?string $country = null): ?string`
- `validateOffline(string $number, ?string $country = null): ?string`
- `validateOnline(string $number, string $country): ?string`
- `status(?string $country = null): bool`

### Using the Facade

[](#using-the-facade)

Validate a VAT number:

```
use KFoobar\EuroVAT\Facades\EuroVAT;

EuroVAT::validate('SE123456789012');
EuroVAT::validateOffline('SE123456789012');
EuroVAT::validateOnline('123456789012', 'SE');
EuroVAT::validate('123456789012', 'SE');
EuroVAT::status('SE');
```

`validate()` is the default entrypoint and performs online validation.

`validateOffline()` only performs the local VAT format check. No external HTTP request is made.

`validateOnline()` sends the provided VAT number and country code directly to the EU VIES API and caches the response. It does not normalize or pre-validate the VAT number locally.

### Using the Validation Rule

[](#using-the-validation-rule)

```
use KFoobar\EuroVAT\Rules\VatId;

$request->validate([
    'vat_number' => ['required', new VatId('SE')],
]);
```

### Using the `vat_id` Validator Extension

[](#using-the-vat_id-validator-extension)

```
$request->validate([
    'vat_number' => 'required|vat_id:SE',
]);
```
