GTIN / EAN / UPC Validation for Laravel

PHP version Latest Version on Packagist Software License Tests Code style Total Downloads

Extension for the Laravel validation class.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

$ composer require mvdnbrk/gtin

Usage

Now you can use the gtin validation to validate a GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13 or GTIN-14:

$this->validate($request, [
    'somefield' => 'gtin',
]);

Specifying a custom error message

You may publish the language files with the following artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=gtin-lang

Now you can customize the error message in resources/lang/vendor/gtin/{loale}/validation.php.

Another option is to define the error message by adding your message to the custom array in the resources/lang/{locale}/validation.php language file.

'custom' => [
    'somefield' => [
        'gtin' => 'Please enter a valid GTIN!',
    ],
],

Or with a JSON file stored in resources/lang/{locale}.json

{
    "validation.custom.somefield.gtin": "Please enter a valid GTIN!"
}

Or you may pass custom messages as the third argument to the Validator::make method as described in the Laravel documentation.

Helper function

This package exposes a is_gtin() helper function to quickly validate a GTIN.
It will return a boolean whether the given value is a valid GTIN or not:

is_gtin('1300000000000')    // returns true
is_gtin('1234567891234')    // returns false

Migrations

This package contains a helper method to create a GTIN column in your database table:

Schema::table('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->gtin();
});

If you would like to customize the column name and/or length you may pass these as parameters:

$table->gtin('ean13', 13);

To drop the column you may use the dropGtin method:

Schema::table('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->dropGtin();
    
    // $table->dropGtin('ean13');
});

Testing

$ composer test
