Laravel VAT EU VALIDATOR

laravel-vat-eu-validator is a package inspired from vat.php to validate a VAT number for businesses based in Europe.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require danielebarbaro/laravel-vat-eu-validator

The package will automatically register itself.

Usage

use Danielebarbaro\LaravelVatEuValidator\Facades\VatValidatorFacade as VatValidator;

// Check VAT format and VIES existence
VatValidator::validate('IT12345');

// Check VAT format
VatValidator::validateFormat('IT12345678901'); 

// Check VAT existence
VatValidator::validateExistence('IT12345678901');

Validation

The package registers two new validation rules.

vat_number

The field under validation must be a valid and existing VAT number.

vat_number_exist

The field under validation check id is an existing VAT number.

vat_number_format

The field under validation must be a valid VAT number.

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class Controller {

    public function foo(Request $request) 
    {
        $request->validate([
            'bar_field' => ['vat_number'],
        ]);
        
        $request->validate([
            'bar_field' => ['vat_number_exist'],
        ]);
        
        $request->validate([
               'bar_field' => ['vat_number_format'],
       ]);
    }
}

Alternatively, you can also use the Rule directly.

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Danielebarbaro\LaravelVatEuValidator\Rules;

class Controller {

    public function foo(Request $request) 
    {
        $request->validate([
            'bar_field' => [ new Rules\VatNumber() ],
            'bar_field' => [ new Rules\VatNumberExist() ],
            'bar_field' => [ new Rules\VatNumberFormat() ],
        ]);
    }
}
