cidr-tools

Tools to work with IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR

Usage

import {merge, exclude, expand, overlap, contains, normalize, parse} from "cidr-tools";

merge(["1.0.0.0/24", "1.0.1.0/24"]); //=> ["1.0.0.0/23"]
exclude(["::1/127"], "::1/128") //=> ["::/128"]
expand(["2001:db8::/126"]) //=> ["2001:db8::", "2001:db8::1", "2001:db8::2", "2001:db8::3"]
overlap("1.0.0.0/24", "1.0.0.128/25") //=> true
contains(["1.0.0.0/24", "2.0.0.0/24"], "1.0.0.1") //=> true
normalize("::ffff/64") //=> "::/64"
parse("::/64"); // => {cidr: "::/64", version: 6, prefix: "64", start: 0n, end: 18446744073709551615n}

API

All functions take CIDR addresses or single IP addresses. On single addresses, a prefix of /32 or /128 is assumed. Function that return networks will return a merged and sorted set of networks with IPv4 sorted before IPv6.

It is expected that the passed CIDRs and IPs are validated as the module's own input validation is rudimentary. You are encouraged to use modules like is-cidr and is-ip to validate before passing to this module.

This module requires BigInt support in your environment.

merge(networks)

• networks String or Array: One or more CIDR or IP addresses.

Returns an array of merged networks.

exclude(baseNetworks, excludeNetworks)

• baseNetworks String or Array: One or more CIDR or IP addresses.
• excludeNetworks String or Array: One or more CIDR or IP addresses to exclude from baseNetworks.

Returns an array of merged remaining networks.

expand(networks)

• networks String or Array: One or more CIDR or IP addresses.

Returns an array of individual IPs contained in the networks.

overlap(networksA, networksB)

• networksA String or Array: One or more CIDR or IP address.
• networksB String or Array: One or more CIDR or IP address.

Returns a boolean that indicates if networksA overlap (intersect) with networksB.

contains(networksA, networksB)

• networksA String or Array: One or more CIDR or IP address.
• networksB String or Array: One or more CIDR or IP address.

Returns a boolean that indicates whether networksA fully contain all networksB.

normalize(networks, [opts])

• networks String or Array: One or more CIDR or IP address.

Returns a string or array (depending on input) with a normalized representation. Will not include a prefix on single IPs.

opts: Options Object

• compress: Whether to compress the IP. For IPv6, this means the "best representation" all-lowercase shortest possible form. Default: true.
• hexify: Whether to convert IPv4-Mapped IPv6 addresses to hex. Default: false.

parse(network)

• network String: A CIDR or IP address.

Returns a parsed Object which is used internally by this module. It can be used to test whether the passed network is IPv4 or IPv6 or work with the BigInts directly.

parsed: Object

• cidr String: The CIDR of the network.
• version Number: Either 4 or 6.
• prefix String: The network prefix, e.g. /64.
• start BigInt: Start of the network.
• end BigInt: Start of the network.
• single Boolean: true when is a single IP.
