USPS API for Laravel 5
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, (*1)
Begin by installing this package through Composer. Run this command from the Terminal:, (*2)
composer require mpinchuk/laravel-usps:dev-master
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., (*3)
'Usps\UspsServiceProvider',
Then you must also specify the alias in config/app.php. Add a new item to the Aliases array., (*4)
'Usps' => 'Usps\Facades\Usps',
This will allow integration by adding the Facade Use Usps;, (*5)
Add your USPS username config in config/services.php., (*6)
'usps' => [
'username' => "XXXXXXXXXXXX"
]
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., (*7)
<?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')
)
);
}
}

This wrapper allows you to perform some basic calls to the USPS api. Some of the features currently supported are:, (*9)
