Leading 0 from zip code is not included/stripped

[sbernheim4]

I am in a zip code that begins with a 0 but the zip code I get back from using this does not include the 0. For example, if the zip code is 02345 then I only get back 2345 with the first 0 missing.

Yeah, this is a known issue. See #122 (comment)

Do you want to take a stab at fixing it?

[sbernheim4]

Thanks and yeah I can try, should I just fork it and then submit a PR if I can get it to work?

[bluesmoon]

yes, that would be awesome.

Please review above PR.
My only concern is the return of a string, rather than a number; if backwards-compatibility requires zip to be a number, I could provide an optional property to grab zipAsString, or something...

Zip codes as Number?

My zip code (Netherlands):

6512 BM

How will you turn that into Number? Or is this a code branch specifically for US zip codes?

[bluesmoon]

Maxmind only supports zip for the US. It's still a bug to use a number instead of string but it's hard to change.
