README

A Laravel package for Turkey's provinces, districts, subdistricts (quarters), neighborhoods, and postal codes. Easily import, query, and keep up-to-date address data from PTT's official source.

Installation

composer require madkhix/tr-address-ptt

Publishing Migrations, Seeders, and Config

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

After running the Python scraper, copy the generated tr-address-ptt-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-ptt:publish-json

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

Migration Structure

Each table has its own migration file:

• cities
• districts
• subdistricts
• neighborhoods
• postcodes

You can run all migrations at once:

php artisan migrate

Or migrate a specific table (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 (independent, only seeds subdistricts)
• NeighborhoodSeeder (does not create subdistricts, only links to them)
• PostcodeSeeder
• TrAddressSeeder (runs all in order)

Seed all data:

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

Or seed a specific table:

php artisan db:seed --class=Database\Seeders\SubdistrictSeeder
php artisan db:seed --class=Database\Seeders\NeighborhoodSeeder

Note:

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

Usage

use TrAddressPtt\Models\City;
use TrAddressPtt\Models\Subdistrict;
use TrAddressPtt\Models\Neighborhood;

$cities = City::all();
$subdistricts = Subdistrict::where('district_id', $districtId)->get();
$neighborhoods = Neighborhood::where('subdistrict_id', $subdistrictId)->get();

Data Structure

The package uses a normalized structure:

• subdistricts table for quarters (semt), linked to districts
• neighborhoods table links to subdistricts via subdistrict_id

If your JSON data contains entries like:

{
  "name": "BEYAZEVLER MAH / MAHFESIĞMAZ / 01170"
}

• name → "BEYAZEVLER MAH"
• subdistrict → "MAHFESIĞMAZ" (stored in subdistricts table)
• postcode → "01170"

The seeders will automatically parse and store these fields in the correct tables and columns.

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-ptt

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-ptt-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-ptt:import-ptt tr-address-ptt-data.json
