After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package postcodeapi

PostcodeAPI

Tests

This package implements a generic approach for retrieving address details based on zipcode and housenumber to perform address validation. The goal of this package is to have a single package which supports your favorite Postcode API providers so you can easily switch between providers without having to rewrite all of your code or need to have extensive knowledge about all the providers, because this package handles that for you.

This package is platform independent and can be used in any modern PHP application.

Providers

The following providers are currently supported:

Events

Pre and post search events are dispatched using the Symfony Event Dispatcher component.

The PreSearchRequestEvent and PostSearchRequestEvent allows you to add some additional custom logic, for example adding your own caching mechanism.

If you set the address in the PreSearchRequestEvent, the search methods will return the address object which will prevent doing an API call.

Additional features to be developed:

Usage example

See the example below on how to use this package. Please note to always provide the provider as {locale}.{Provider class}.

Search methods

If a search method is not supported, the MethodNotSupportedException is thrown, for example for Dutch addresses it is common that both zipcode and housenumber fields are required, so searching without housenumbers can throw a MethodNotSupportedException exception.

The SearchRequest entity is used for more dynamic Postcode API implementations which require more flexibility on which data is passed to the API.
