README

Official Italian Belfiore code list (cadastral code) which represents a comune.

Update

To update the database, you have to clone the project and install the dev-dependencies. Then, the console will be available to download and dump the normalized datasets:

composer install
bin/console update

and you are golden.

Anyway, if you think that the crawled data is outdated, please file an issue. I will update the new data ASAP.

Usage

Installation

PHP

composer require devnix/belfiore-code

Serialized data

You can get the up to date serialized database of comunes and foreign regions in CSV, JSON, XML and YAML inside the dist/ folder in any language.

API

PHP

There is a Devnix\BelfioreCode\Collection\ComuneCollection and a Devnix\BelfioreCode\Collection\RegionCollection to get an ArrayCollection filled with both databases. This enables you to directly iterate through them like an array, or even perform queries of columns.

Querying

You can fetch a comune by its registry_code (also know as cadastral code or belfiore code).

<?php

use Devnix\BelfioreCode\Collection\ComuneCollection;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Criteria;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Expr\Comparison;

$comunes = new ComuneCollection();

$criteria = new Criteria();
$criteria
    ->where(new Comparison('registry_code', Comparison::IS, 'A001'))
;

var_dump($comunes->matching($criteria)));

This would get you a new collection with the matching registry codes. As you can see there is a comune called "ABANO" discontinued in 1924-11-13, and an active comune called "ABANO TERME":

object(Devnix\BelfioreCode\Collection\ComuneCollection)#49 (1) {
  ["elements":"Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection":private]=>
  array(2) {
    [0]=>
    array(18) {
      ["id"]=>

      string(4) "A001"
      ["name_it"]=>
      string(5) "ABANO"
      ["name_transliterated"]=>
      string(5) "ABANO"

      ["provincial_code"]=>
      string(2) "PD"
      ["source"]=>
      string(0) ""
      ["last_update"]=>
      string(10) "2016-06-17"
      ["istat_discontinued_code"]=>
      string(0) ""
    }
  }
}

You may want to find an active comune by his registry_code. To archieve this, just play with the Doctrine Collections docs

<?php

use Devnix\BelfioreCode\Collection\ComuneCollection;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Criteria;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Expr\Comparison;

$comunes = new ComuneCollection();

$criteria = new Criteria();
$criteria
    ->where(new Comparison('registry_code', Comparison::IS, 'A001'))
    ->andWhere(new Comparison('status', Comparison::IS, 'active'))
;

var_dump($comunes->matching($criteria)));

and it will grab for you your desired criteria:

object(Devnix\BelfioreCode\Collection\ComuneCollection)#55 (1) {
  ["elements":"Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection":private]=>
  array(1) {
    [1]=>
    array(18) {
      ["id"]=>
      string(1) "1"
      ["institution_date"]=>
      string(10) "1924-11-14"
      ["end_date"]=>
      string(10) "9999-12-31"
      ["istat_id"]=>
      string(6) "028001"
      ["registry_code"]=>
      string(4) "A001"
      ["name_it"]=>
      string(11) "ABANO TERME"
      ["name_transliterated"]=>
      string(11) "ABANO TERME"
      ["alternative_name"]=>
      string(0) ""
      ["alternative_name_transliterated"]=>
      string(0) ""
      ["anpr_id"]=>
      string(2) "28"
      ["istat_province_id"]=>
      string(3) "028"
      ["istat_region_id"]=>
      string(2) "05"
      ["istat_prefecture_id"]=>
      string(2) "PD"
      ["status"]=>
      string(6) "active"
      ["provincial_code"]=>
      string(2) "PD"
      ["source"]=>
      string(0) ""
      ["last_update"]=>
      string(10) "2016-06-17"
      ["istat_discontinued_code"]=>
      string(0) ""
    }
  }
}

Ordering

Ordering can be done too through Doctrine Collections. Please refer to their docs to see the available API:

<?php

use Devnix\BelfioreCode\Collection\ComuneCollection;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Criteria;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Expr\Comparison;

$comunes = new ComuneCollection();

$criteria = new Criteria();
$criteria->orderBy(['last_update' => Criteria::ASC]);

var_dump($comunes->matching($criteria)));

Roadmap

• Write unit tests to verify that the data sources maintain the same format
• Write unit tests to cover all classes
• Write documentation of each column available in English
• Investigate to run the update command automatically using Github Actions once in a month

Contributing

You can contribute by forking the project and doing a pull request. Please, do all your work on the develop branch, or your PR will be rejected.

As I would love to get some feedback, specially from people more familiar than me with this kind of data, I will consider it as a WIP, and the API/column names may change in the short term.
