Laravel Comuni

A Laravel package that provides a simple and elegant way to retrive italian comuni, province and regioni. This package uses third party apis and provides only an easy wrapper to access those apis.

Currently supported apis:

• Samurai016/Comuni-ITA

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require carloeusebi/laravel-comuni

The package will automatically register its service provider.

Usage

This package provides a simple facade to access Italian geographical data:

use CarloEusebi\LaravelComuni\Facades\Comuni;

// Get all regions
$regions = Comuni::regioni();

// Get all provinces
$provinces = Comuni::province();

// Get all municipalities
$comuni = Comuni::comuni();

// Get municipalities by region
$comuni = Comuni::comuni(regione: 'Lazio');

// Get municipalities by province
$comuni = Comuni::comuni(provincia: 'Roma');

Filtering and Pagination

You can filter and paginate results using the params array:

// Get municipalities with pagination
$comuni = Comuni::comuni(params: ['page' => 1, 'pagesize' => 10]);

// Filter municipalities by name
$comuni = Comuni::comuni(params: ['nome' => 'Roma']);

// Get only municipality names
$comuni = Comuni::comuni(params: ['onlyname' => true]);

// Filter regions by name
$regions = Comuni::regioni(['nome' => 'Lazio']);

Available Parameters

For available parameters please refer to third parties documentations:

• Samurai016/Comuni-ITA

Configuration

You can publish the configuration file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CarloEusebi\LaravelComuni\ComuniServiceProvider"

This will create a config/comuni.php file where you can modify the default settings:

You can safely cache the responses for a long period of time. As these services are hosted on free platforms, please consider keeping responses cached as long as possible.

return [

    // currently the only provider is `comuni-ita`
    'provider' => 'comuni-ita',

    'cache' => [
        // the prefix for the cache key
        'prefix' => 'comuni-',

        // the number of days the responses should be cached for
        'ttl' => 60,

        // the number of days after which the cache becomes stale
        'stale' => 30,
    ],
];

Faking

This package already has a comprehensive test suite. You don't need to test this package in your app. But if you would like to test your implementation of this package, you can mock Comuni and decide what it should return, or you can fake it and this package will generate a fake generic response for you.

\CarloEusebi\LaravelComuni\Facades\Comuni::fake();

\CarloEusebi\LaravelComuni\Facades\Comuni::shouldReceive('comuni')->andReturn(collect(['Abano Terme', 'Abbadia Cerreto', 'Abbadia Lariana', 'Abbadia San Salvatore']));

Testing

This package includes a comprehensive test suite. To run tests:

composer test
