macaddr is a library for parsing and manipulating MAC addresses in JavaScript.
npm install macaddr
parse(input)Parses a string representing and returns a MAC object representing the
address. A MAC address may be in any of the following forms:
01:02:03:04:05:0601-02-03-04-05-06010203040506When using : or - as a separator, the leading zero in an octet can be
dropped. For example:
1:2:3:4:5:61-2-3-4-5-6If parse(input) is called with a number, it is interpreted as a 48-bit
integer representing the MAC address.
MACMAC#toString([opts])Returns the string representation of the MAC address. An optional options object allows for controlling the output, and takes the following fields:
zeroPad (default: true), whether to pad octets that could print as a
single character with a 0.separator (default: ':'), separator between octets.octetFormatter (default: (none)), a function that takes the integer
octet as the argument and returns the formatted octet. If zeroPad is
true, pad up to two characters.MAC#toLong()Returns the 48-bit integer representation of the MAC address.
MAC#compare(other)Compares the MAC address to another MAC object, to determine if they
represent the same value. If the other MAC address has a larger 48-bit
representation, this method returns -1. If it has a smaller 48-bit
representation, then it returns 1. If the two addresses are equivalent,
then the result is 0.
