Laravel Egypt National ID Parser

A Laravel package to parse and validate Egyptian National ID numbers, extracting details such as birth date, gender, and governorate.

📌 Features

• Validate Egyptian National ID numbers (including Modulo 11 check digit verification)
• Extract birth date, gender, and governorate into a fully typed DTO (NationalIdData)
• Custom Laravel Validation Rule
• Supports Arabic and English translations

📦 Installation

Require the package via Composer:

composer require yasser-elgammal/laravel-egypt-national-id-parser

Publish the configuration and translation files:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-egypt-national-id-parser-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-egypt-national-id-parser-translations

⚙️ Configuration

The configuration file config/national-id.php allows customization of the package settings, including the default language.

🛠 Usage

1. Using Custom Validation Rule

The easiest way to use the package is through the provided validation rule:

use YasserElgammal\LaravelEgyptNationalIdParser\Rules\EgyptianNationalId;

$request->validate([
    'national_id' => ['required', 'string', new EgyptianNationalId()],
]);

2. Parsing to Data Transfer Object (DTO)

You can parse an ID into a NationalIdData object which provides strongly-typed methods:

use YasserElgammal\LaravelEgyptNationalIdParser\Facades\NationalId;

$idNumber = '29001010112341';
$data = NationalId::parse($idNumber);

if ($data) {
    echo $data->getBirthDate()->format('Y-m-d'); // Carbon instance
    echo $data->getAge(); // int
    echo $data->getGenderLabel(); // string (Male/Female)
    echo $data->getGovernorateLabel(); // string
    echo $data->getCheckDigit(); // string
}

To throw an exception if the ID is invalid instead of returning null:

use YasserElgammal\LaravelEgyptNationalIdParser\Exceptions\InvalidNationalIdException;

try {
    $data = NationalId::parseOrFail($idNumber);
} catch (InvalidNationalIdException $e) {
    return response()->json(['errors' => $e->getErrors()], 422);
}

3. Validating an ID Number (Legacy Array Response)

If you prefer working with arrays:

use YasserElgammal\LaravelEgyptNationalIdParser\Facades\NationalId;

$result = NationalId::validate($idNumber);

return response()->json([
    'status' => $result['status'], // boolean
    'data' => $result['data'] ?? null, // array of components
    'errors' => $result['errors'] ?? [] // array of validation errors
]);

You can also customize the returned language (default is 'en'):

$result = NationalId::setLanguage('ar')->validate($idNumber);
