is-alphanumerical

What is is-alphanumerical?

The is-alphanumerical npm package is designed to check if a given input (string or character) is alphanumeric, meaning it consists of letters and numbers only. This can be particularly useful for validating user input, parsing content, or filtering data in applications where alphanumeric strings are required or expected.

What are is-alphanumerical's main functionalities?

Check if a string is alphanumeric

This feature allows you to verify if an entire string is alphanumeric. It returns true if the string contains only letters and numbers, and false otherwise.

"use strict"; var isAlphanumerical = require('is-alphanumerical'); console.log(isAlphanumerical('abc123')); // true console.log(isAlphanumerical('abc!123')); // false

Check if a single character is alphanumeric

This feature enables checking whether a single character is alphanumeric. It's useful for parsing or iterating through strings character by character to validate or process each one.

"use strict"; var isAlphanumerical = require('is-alphanumerical'); console.log(isAlphanumerical('a')); // true console.log(isAlphanumerical('!')); // false

Compared to is-alphanumerical, validator is more versatile but also larger in size, making is-alphanumerical a lightweight alternative for specific alphanumeric checks.

is-alphanumeric

Is-alphanumeric is another package with a similar purpose, offering functionality to check if strings or characters are alphanumeric. The main difference lies in the implementation details and possibly in performance benchmarks, but both serve the same primary purpose.
