FAQ
Example:
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 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.

About
This Laravel 5 library creates actual, 100% real addresses, with full address details and lat/long coordinates Using the Google Maps API, these addresses can be created using the RealAddress classes, and also supports Faker, so you can use RealAddress in your database seeding!
Installation
Require this package with composer using the following command:
Laravel 7 or higher
Please use the updated package, RealAddressFactory. This specific package is for legacy Laravel only!
Laravel 5.5 or higher
Execute:
Laravel 5.4 or lower

Google Maps API
As this library relies on Google Maps, your Google Maps API key needs to be defined in your .env file:
If you don't have an API key (they're free), get one here
Usage
RealAddress offers three different ways of generating real-world addresses. Each of these methods return the \Geocoder\Provider\GoogleMaps\Model\GoogleAddress class, which takes the Google Maps API response and standardises it in an easy-to-use, easy-to-read manner.
As standard, RealAddress supports the generating of real addresses for the following countries:
- United States of America
- Great Britain
- France
- Germany
- South Africa
- Russia
You can extend RealAddress by adding additional countries in the config/realaddress.php config file. This config file also defines which cities in a given country addresses can be created for. Additional cities can be defined here.
Faker
RealAddress provides additional functions for Faker's \Faker\Generator class instance. The code example below shows typical usage in a Factory class:
Similarly, the address can be limited to a specific city: $address = $faker->britishAddress('London');
or can be generated randomly between multiple-defined cities: $address = $faker->britishAddress(['London', 'Manchester']);
... where these cities must be defined in config/realaddress.php in order to work.
The ready-to-use faker functions include:
britishAddress()usaAddress()germanAddress()frenchAddress()southAfricanAddress()russianAddress()
If you have extended config/realaddress.php to include a new country, you can generate an address for it with:
Using the Facade
Using the Facade allows you to generate real-world addresses at runtime, and also allows multiple addresses to be generated at once. The code examples below show typical RealAddress facade usage:
Using the RealAddress class
Functionally, provides the same methods as the Facade above:
Adding new countries or cities
An example of extending the config/realaddress.php array to include Kenya, and two cities:
Note that the cities defined here must be identifiable to Google Maps, and should ideally be spelt in their English variant.
