Forked from https://github.com/smartameer/laravel-usps and updated to work with Laravel 5.4

Laravel-USPS

Laravel-USPS is a composer package that allows you to integrate the USPS Address / Shipping API. This backage is ported from @author Vincent Gabriel https://github.com/VinceG/USPS-php-api

• Requires a valid USPS API Username
• Tested on Laravel 5+

Installation

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Run this command from the Terminal:

composer require mpinchuk/laravel-usps:dev-master

Laravel integration

To wire this up in your Laravel project you need to add the service provider. Open config/app.php, and add a new item to the providers array.

'Usps\UspsServiceProvider',

Then you must also specify the alias in config/app.php. Add a new item to the Aliases array.

'Usps' => 'Usps\Facades\Usps',

This will allow integration by adding the Facade Use Usps;

Laravel Config

Add your USPS username config in config/services.php.

'usps' => [
		'username' => "XXXXXXXXXXXX"
	]

Example Controller Usage

The only method completed for Laravel is the Usps::validate which is defined in vendor/mpinchuk/laravel-usps/src/Usps/Usps.php. As this package was developed for internal use I did not bring over all the features but you are more than welcome to contribute the methods you need and I will merge them. I suggest looking at the original PHP-Wrapper by @VinceG USPS PHP-Api as I ported those clases and autoloaded them to use in the Usps.php file.

<?php

namespace app\Http\Controllers;
use app\Http\Requests;
use app\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request;
use Usps;

class USPSController extends Controller
{
    public function index() {
        return response()->json(
            Usps::validate( 
                Request::input('Address'), 
                Request::input('Zip'), 
                Request::input('Apartment'), 
                Request::input('City'), 
                Request::input('State')
            )
        );
    }
}
