cdigit

NAME

cdigit - Collection of check digit algorithms implemented in JavaScript

SYNOPSIS

const cdigit = require('cdigit');

// Luhn (a.k.a. Mod 10) algorithm
console.log(cdigit.luhn.compute('1234'));   // '4'
console.log(cdigit.luhn.generate('1234'));  // '12344'
console.log(cdigit.luhn.validate('12344')); // true

USAGE

Load cdigit and access to an algorithm object by cdigit.name as listed in SUPPORTED ALGORITHMS section.

const cdigit = require('cdigit');
const algo = cdigit.mod97_10;

Algorithm objects implement the following methods.

validate(num: string): boolean

Check if a given string is valid in accordance with the algorithm. The argument must include check digit(s) as well as the source number.

console.log(cdigit.mod97_10.validate('123482'));  // true

generate(num: string): string

Generate a valid number string from a given source number. The generated string includes the check digit(s) computed and placed in accordance with the algorithm.

console.log(cdigit.mod97_10.generate('1234'));  // '123482'

compute(num: string): string

Generate check digit(s) from a given source number. This returns the check digit(s) only.

console.log(cdigit.mod97_10.compute('1234')); // '82'

See example.js for usage examples.
