# PostalCode

- `PostalCode(string $countryCode, bool $formatted = false)`

Validates whether the input is a valid postal code or not.

```php
v::postalCode('BR')->validate('02179000'); // true
v::postalCode('BR')->validate('02179-000'); // true
v::postalCode('US')->validate('02179-000'); // false
v::postalCode('US')->validate('55372'); // true
v::postalCode('PL')->validate('99-300'); // true
```

By default, `PostalCode` won't validate the format (puncts, spaces), unless you pass `$formatted = true`:


```php
v::postalCode('BR', true)->validate('02179000'); // false
v::postalCode('BR', true)->validate('02179-000'); // true
```

Message template for this validator includes `{{countryCode}}`.
