jquery.payment

jQuery.payment

A general purpose library for building credit card forms, validating inputs and formatting numbers.

For example, you can make a input act like a credit card field (with number formatting and length restriction):

$('input.cc-num').payment('formatCardNumber');

Then, when the payment form is submitted, you can validate the card number on the client-side like so:

var valid = $.payment.validateCardNumber($('input.cc-num').val());

if ( !valid ) {
  alert('Your card is not valid!');
  return false;
}

You can find a full demo here.

Supported card types are:

• Visa
• MasterCard
• American Express
• Discover
• JCB
• Diners Club
• Maestro
• Laser
• UnionPay

API

$.fn.payment('formatCardNumber')

Formats card numbers:

• Includes a space between every 4 digits
• Restricts input to numbers
• Limits to 16 numbers
• Supports American Express formatting
• Adds a class of the card type (e.g. 'visa') to the input

Example:

$('input.cc-num').payment('formatCardNumber');

$.fn.payment('formatCardExpiry')

Formats card expiry:

• Includes a / between the month and year
• Restricts input to numbers
• Restricts length

Example:

$('input.cc-exp').payment('formatCardExpiry');

$.fn.payment('formatCardCVC')

Formats card CVC:

• Restricts length to 4 numbers
• Restricts input to numbers

Example:

$('input.cc-cvc').payment('formatCardCVC');

$.fn.payment('restrictNumeric')

General numeric input restriction.

Example:

$('[data-numeric]').payment('restrictNumeric');

$.payment.validateCardNumber(number)

Validates a card number:

• Validates numbers
• Validates Luhn algorithm
• Validates length

Example:

$.payment.validateCardNumber('4242 4242 4242 4242'); //=> true

$.payment.validateCardExpiry(month, year)

Validates a card expiry:

• Validates numbers
• Validates in the future
• Supports year shorthand

Example:

$.payment.validateCardExpiry('05', '20'); //=> true
$.payment.validateCardExpiry('05', '2015'); //=> true
$.payment.validateCardExpiry('05', '05'); //=> false

$.payment.validateCardCVC(cvc, type)

Validates a card CVC:

• Validates number
• Validates length to 4

Example:

$.payment.validateCardCVC('123'); //=> true
$.payment.validateCardCVC('123', 'amex'); //=> true
$.payment.validateCardCVC('1234', 'amex'); //=> true
$.payment.validateCardCVC('12344'); //=> false

$.payment.cardType(number)

Returns a card type. Either:

• visa
• mastercard
• discover
• amex
• dinersclub
• maestro
• laser
• unionpay

The function will return null if the card type can't be determined.

Example:

$.payment.cardType('4242 4242 4242 4242'); //=> 'visa'

$.payment.cardExpiryVal(string) and $.fn.payment('cardExpiryVal')

Parses a credit card expiry in the form of MM/YYYY, returning an object containing the month and year. Shorthand years, such as 13 are also supported (and converted into the longhand, e.g. 2013).

$.payment.cardExpiryVal('03 / 2025'); //=> {month: 3: year: 2025}
$.payment.cardExpiryVal('05 / 04'); //=> {month: 5, year: 2004}
$('input.cc-exp').payment('cardExpiryVal') //=> {month: 4, year: 2020}

This function doesn't perform any validation of the month or year; use $.payment.validateCardExpiry(month, year) for that.

Autocomplete recommendations

We recommend you turn autocomplete on for credit card forms, except for the CVC field. You can do this by setting the autocomplete attribute:

<form autocomplete="on">
  <input class="cc-number">
  <input class="cc-cvc" autocomplete="off">
</form>

You should also mark up your fields using the Autocomplete Types spec. These are respected by a number of browsers, including Chrome.

<input type="text" class="cc-number" pattern="\d*" autocompletetype="cc-number" placeholder="Card number" required>

Set autocompletetype to cc-number for credit card numbers, cc-exp for credit card expiry and cc-csc for the CVC (security code).

Mobile recommendations

We recommend you set the pattern attribute which will cause the numeric keyboard to be displayed on mobiles:

<input class="cc-number" pattern="\d*">

You may have to turn off HTML5 validation (using the novalidate form attribute) when using this pattern, as it won't match space formatting.
