Stop Rewriting Address Logic in Laravel — Meet Addressable

A reusable, elegant address management system for Laravel apps, powered by a single trait.

🚀 Why Use Addressable?

As a Laravel developer, you've probably rewritten country/state/city/zip logic across projects. Addressable puts an end to that repetition with a Laravel-native package.

✅ Feature Highlights

  • 🔁 HasAddress Trait – plug & play address support
  • 🌍 Global address handling (no country lock-in)
  • 🧩 Polymorphic relationships – attach to any model
  • 📦 Composer installation: composer require awalhadi/addressable
  • 🧪 Lightweight, clean, Laravel 10+ ready
  • 💻 Compatible with Blade, Vue, and Inertia UIs

🧑‍💻 Usage Example 

// In your Eloquent model
use HasAddress;

class Customer extends Model
{
    use HasAddress;
}

// Later, in your controllers or services:
echo $customer->address->full_address;
// Output: "Paris, Île‑de‑France, France"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Try it now — it takes just a few minutes to standardize address logic across your app.

🖼 Sneak-Peek UI Preview

Design a modern address form with cascading dropdowns:

  • Country (with flag icons)
  • State / Region
  • City
  • Zip Code

Fully styled using Tailwind‑inspired aesthetics.

🔧 Installing & Configuration 

composer require awalhadi/addressable
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You’ll automatically gain:

  • A migration for the addresses table
  • Methods like $model->address
  • Readable helpers — e.g. $address->full_address

Override defaults easily for custom address formats or relationship names.

🔍 Real-World Use Cases

  • User shipping/billing addresses (e‑commerce)
  • CRM contact management
  • Branch or location-based data models
  • SaaS/multi‑tenant address handling
  • Anywhere you need standardized address architecture

🧠 Why I Built It

Over the years, I found myself rewriting address logic in Laravel projects — leading to inconsistent and hard-to-maintain code. Addressable was designed to follow clean architecture practices, reduce friction, and offer elegant reuse. If you value clean code, reusability, and Laravel best practices, this package is for you.
