What is ibantools?
The ibantools npm package provides utilities for validating and formatting International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs). It helps ensure that IBANs are correctly structured and can be used for financial transactions.
What are ibantools's main functionalities?
Validate IBAN
This feature allows you to validate an IBAN to ensure it is correctly formatted and valid. The `validateIBAN` function returns an object indicating whether the IBAN is valid and, if not, what the issues are.
const ibantools = require('ibantools');
const result = ibantools.validateIBAN('DE89370400440532013000');
console.log(result);
Format IBAN
This feature allows you to format an IBAN into a more readable form. The `formatIBAN` function takes an IBAN string and returns it in a standardized format with spaces.
const ibantools = require('ibantools');
const formattedIBAN = ibantools.formatIBAN('DE89370400440532013000');
console.log(formattedIBAN);
Get IBAN Country Information
This feature provides information about the country associated with a given IBAN. The `getIBANCountryInfo` function takes a country code and returns details such as the country name and IBAN length.
const ibantools = require('ibantools');
const countryInfo = ibantools.getIBANCountryInfo('DE');
console.log(countryInfo);
