# PostcodeValidation [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/madetech/postcode_validation.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/madetech/postcode_validation)

This gem provides basic postcode validation functionality which can be used in any application

The specific validation that we perform goes beyond simple regex matching, to determine if the postcode actually exists.

To do this it uses PCAPredict.com's Capture+ API.
By leveraging this service we are able to provide validation against country's postcode that they support.

It also comes with out of the box plugins for:

- Solidus

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'postcode_validation'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install postcode_validation

## Usage

This gem relies on ```ENV['POSTCODE_ANYWHERE_KEY']``` being set to a valid PCAPredict service key for Capture+.

One of the easiest ways to do this is to use the ```dotenv``` gem for this in your host application.

### Using with Solidus

```ruby
require 'postcode_validation'
require 'postcode_validation/plugins/solidus'
Spree::Order.include(PostcodeValidation::SpreeOrderPostcodeValid)
````

NB: Error reporting currently only works with a Tagged Logger

### Bespoke application usage

```ruby
require 'postcode_validation'
use_case = PostcodeValidation::UseCase::ValidateAddress.new(
address_match_gateway: PostcodeValidation::Gateway::PCAPotentialAddressMatch.new
)

valid = use_case.execute(postcode: 'SE10SW', country: 'GB')[:valid?]
```

```
> valid
true
```

Country must be a valid 2-letter ISO country code.
Postcode is the postcode under test.

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
