No error for incorrect postal codes #11

Closed redon92 closed 5 years ago

redon92 commented 5 years ago

It doesn't show any error for incorrect postal codes, for example if i insert a postal code 55555 for IT (Italy), and it doesn't show any error. All it does is check if the inserted postal code has the postal code length of that country:

'pattern' => '/^\d{5}$/i',

I suggest you submit postal codes from the world in this package, and then it would be available to laravel users, and updated accordingly, to avoid such problems.

This package uses Google's address data service to create rules a postal code in a given country should follow.

Some countries have prefixes or suffixes and are very specific in what they will allow (e.g. UK), but for some countries there simply isn't a better pattern than the one provided.
