Extension for the Laravel validation class.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
$ composer require mvdnbrk/gtin
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Now you can use the `gtin` validation to validate a GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13 or GTIN-14:

```
$this->validate($request, [
    'somefield' => 'gtin',
]);
```

### Specifying a custom error message

[](#specifying-a-custom-error-message)

You may publish the language files with the following `artisan` command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=gtin-lang
```

Now you can customize the error message in `resources/lang/vendor/gtin/{loale}/validation.php`.

Another option is to define the error message by adding your message to the `custom` array in the `resources/lang/{locale}/validation.php` language file.

```
'custom' => [
    'somefield' => [
        'gtin' => 'Please enter a valid GTIN!',
    ],
],
```

Or with a JSON file stored in `resources/lang/{locale}.json`

```
{
    "validation.custom.somefield.gtin": "Please enter a valid GTIN!"
}
```

Or you may pass custom messages as the third argument to the `Validator::make` method as described in the [Laravel documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/validation#custom-error-messages).

### Helper function

[](#helper-function)

This package exposes a `is_gtin()` helper function to quickly validate a GTIN.
It will return a `boolean` whether the given value is a valid GTIN or not:

```
is_gtin('1300000000000')    // returns true
is_gtin('1234567891234')    // returns false
```

### Migrations

[](#migrations)

This package contains a helper method to create a GTIN column in your database table:

```
Schema::table('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->gtin();
});
```

If you would like to customize the column name and/or length you may pass these as parameters:

```
$table->gtin('ean13', 13);
```

To drop the column you may use the `dropGtin` method:

```
Schema::table('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->dropGtin();

    // $table->dropGtin('ean13');
});
```
