Informations about the package zipus

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 http://zippopotam.us for online lookup, sometimes i might be preferable to have all the data locally.

The package using the data from http://federalgovernmentzipcodes.us/ . There is an Artisan command implemented to perform automatic update of the data.

Installation

Step 1

Add this to your composer.json

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

then install package as usual.

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 http://example.com/zipus-test to check the lookup process.

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:

All the elements of an array would be named exactly as a column in original CSV file form http://federalgovernmentzipcodes.us . 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().
