is-valid-year

is-valid-year

Returns true if a year is valid based on a given year, range of years, sequences of years, or any mixture of these.

Install

Install with npm

$ npm i is-valid-year --save

Usage

Supports years as numbers or strings:

var isValidYear = require('is-valid-year');

Acceptable formats

Pass an array or list or years or year ranges (years must increase from left to right).

• The first argument is the year to validate
• Everything else is a valid year to test against
• Year ranges must always be a string separated by -, as in 2001-2005
• Non-ranges (sequential or otherwise) may be separated by , or | when passed as a string, or as must be passed as individual array elements.

All of the following should work:

isValidYear(2011, 2015);
//=> false
isValidYear(2015, 2015);
//=> true

isValidYear(2015, [1999, 2000, 2001]);
//=> false
isValidYear(2001, [1999, 2000, 2001]);
//=> true

isValidYear(2009, '2010-2015');
//=> false
isValidYear(2010, '2010-2015');
//=> true

isValidYear(2008, '2009,2010-2015');
//=> false
isValidYear(2009, '2009,2010-2015');
//=> true

isValidYear(2011, [1997, '1999-2009', 2010]);
//=> false
isValidYear(2010, [1997, '1999-2009', 2010]);
//=> true
