IndianPincodes

A simple gem to search city, state, post office,taluka name, district name,head office and sub office details from pincode. All details has been stored in yaml file. We will be adding postal code details for more countries soon.

Note: You need around 25MB free space in your system or server to use this gem.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'indian-pincodes'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install indian-pincodes

require "indian_pincodes"

IndianPincodes.search('382481')
# => {:city=>"Ahmedabad", :state=>"GUJARAT", :post_office=>"Nirnaynagar", :taluka_name=>"Ahmadabad, :district_name=>"Ahmedabad", :head_office=>"Gandhinagar (Gujarat)", :sub_office=>"NA", :country=>"India"}
# First run will take a while, as the yaml has to be loaded.

If you are using Rails, you can load the yaml file on app startup for production and staging.

# config/initializers/load_pin_codes.rb
IndianPincodes.load unless Rails.env.development?
