tr-address

A Laravel package for Turkey's provinces, districts, quarters (subdistricts), neighborhoods, and postal codes. Easily import, query, and keep up-to-date address data from https://www.postakodu.web.tr/

Installation

composer require madkhix/tr-address

Publishing Migrations, Seeders, and Config

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="TrAddress\TrAddressServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="TrAddress\TrAddressServiceProvider" --tag="seeders"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="TrAddress\TrAddressServiceProvider" --tag="traddress-config"

After running the Python scraper, copy the generated tr-address-data.json file to your Laravel project root (where the artisan file is located). You can also use the following artisan command to copy it automatically:

php artisan traddress:publish-json

You can change the JSON data file path in config/traddress.php if needed.

Data Structure

The JSON data must have the following structure:

[
  {
    "name": "ADANA",
    "districts": [
      {
        "name": "ALADAĞ",
        "quarters": [
          {
            "name": "KARSANTI",
            "neighborhoods": [
              { "name": "MANSURLU MAH.", "postcode": "01720" }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

• cities have many districts
• districts have many quarters (subdistricts)
• quarters have many neighborhoods
• Each neighborhood has a postcode

Migration Structure

Each table has its own migration file:

• cities
• districts
• subdistricts (quarters)
• neighborhoods
• postcodes

You can run all migrations at once:

php artisan migrate

Or, to run a specific migration file (advanced usage):

php artisan migrate --path=src/database/migrations/2024_01_03_000000_create_subdistricts_table.php

Seeder Structure

Each table has its own seeder:

• CitySeeder
• DistrictSeeder
• SubdistrictSeeder (seeds all quarters)
• NeighborhoodSeeder (seeds all neighborhoods and links to subdistricts)
• PostcodeSeeder
• TrAddressSeeder (runs all in order)

Seed all data:

php artisan db:seed --class=Database\Seeders\TrAddressSeeder

Note:

• Run SubdistrictSeeder before NeighborhoodSeeder if you seed them separately.
• NeighborhoodSeeder will not create subdistricts, only link to existing ones.

Importing Data

After generating or updating your tr-address-data.json file, import it with:

php artisan traddress:import tr-address-data.json

Usage

use TrAddress\Models\City;
use TrAddress\Models\District;
use TrAddress\Models\Subdistrict;
use TrAddress\Models\Neighborhood;
use TrAddress\Models\Postcode;

$cities = City::all();
$districts = $cities[0]->districts;
$quarters = $districts[0]->subdistricts; // quarters
$neighborhoods = $quarters[0]->neighborhoods;
$postcode = $neighborhoods[0]->postcodes->first()->code;

Updating Address Data (Fetching from PTT)

This package does not include the Python data fetcher script by default. To update the address data from the official PTT source, use the separate Python script available at:

https://github.com/madkhix/tr-address-fetcher

Usage:

1. Clone or download the script from the repository above.
2. Run the script in your terminal:

   python fetch_tr_address_data.py

3. The script will generate a tr-address-data.json file.
4. Copy this file to your Laravel project root (where artisan is located).
5. Import the data using the package's artisan command:

   php artisan traddress:import tr-address-data.json

This approach keeps the PHP package clean and dependency-free, while still allowing advanced users to update the address data as needed.
