npm-user-validate
Advanced tools
The npm-user-validate package is used to validate npm usernames. It ensures that usernames conform to the rules and guidelines set by npm, such as length and character restrictions.
Username Validation
This feature allows you to validate a given npm username to check if it meets the npm username requirements. The function returns a boolean indicating whether the username is valid.
const validate = require('npm-user-validate');
const username = 'valid-username';
const isValid = validate(username);
console.log(isValid); // true or falseCustom Validation Messages
This feature provides detailed error messages when a username does not meet the validation criteria. The `validate.errors` array contains specific reasons why the username is invalid.
const validate = require('npm-user-validate');
const username = 'invalid username';
const isValid = validate(username);
if (!isValid) {
console.log(validate.errors); // Array of error messages
}The 'validator' package provides a comprehensive set of string validation and sanitization utilities. It includes functions for validating usernames, emails, URLs, and more. Compared to npm-user-validate, it offers a broader range of validation functions but may require more configuration for npm-specific username validation.
