A library of string validators and sanitizers.
## Strings only
**This library validates and sanitizes strings only.**
If you're not sure if your input is a string, coerce it using `input + ''`.
Passing anything other than a string will result in an error.
## Installation and Usage
### Server-side usage
Install the library with `npm install validator`
#### No ES6
```javascript
var validator = require('validator');
validator.isEmail('foo@bar.com'); //=> true
```
#### ES6
```javascript
import validator from 'validator';
```
Or, import only a subset of the library:
```javascript
import isEmail from 'validator/lib/isEmail';
```
#### Tree-shakeable ES imports
```javascript
import isEmail from 'validator/es/lib/isEmail';
```
### Client-side usage
The library can be loaded either as a standalone script, or through an [AMD][amd]-compatible loader
```html
<script type="text/javascript" src="validator.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
validator.isEmail('foo@bar.com'); //=> true
</script>
```
The library can also be installed through [bower][bower]
```bash
$ bower install validator-js
```
CDN
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/validator@latest/validator.min.js"></script>
```

If `returnScore` is true, then the function returns an integer score for the password rather than a boolean.<br/>Default options: <br/>`{ minLength: 8, minLowercase: 1, minUppercase: 1, minNumbers: 1, minSymbols: 1, returnScore: false, pointsPerUnique: 1, pointsPerRepeat: 0.5, pointsForContainingLower: 10, pointsForContainingUpper: 10, pointsForContainingNumber: 10, pointsForContainingSymbol: 10 }`
**isTime(str [, options])** | check if the string is a valid time e.g. [`23:01:59`, new Date().toLocaleTimeString()].<br/><br/> `options` is an object which can contain the keys `hourFormat` or `mode`.<br/><br/>`hourFormat` is a key and defaults to `'hour24'`.<br/><br/>`mode` is a key and defaults to `'default'`. <br/><br/>`hourFomat` can contain the values `'hour12'` or `'hour24'`, `'hour24'` will validate hours in 24 format and `'hour12'` will validate hours in 12 format. <br/><br/>`mode` can contain the values `'default'` or `'withSeconds'`, `'default'` will validate `HH:MM` format, `'withSeconds'` will validate the `HH:MM:SS` format.
**isTaxID(str, locale)** | check if the string is a valid Tax Identification Number. Default locale is `en-US`.<br/><br/>More info about exact TIN support can be found in `src/lib/isTaxID.js`.<br/><br/>Supported locales: `[ 'bg-BG', 'cs-CZ', 'de-AT', 'de-DE', 'dk-DK', 'el-CY', 'el-GR', 'en-CA', 'en-GB', 'en-IE', 'en-US', 'es-ES', 'et-EE', 'fi-FI', 'fr-BE', 'fr-CA', 'fr-FR', 'fr-LU', 'hr-HR', 'hu-HU', 'it-IT', 'lb-LU', 'lt-LT', 'lv-LV', 'mt-MT', 'nl-BE', 'nl-NL', 'pl-PL', 'pt-BR', 'pt-PT', 'ro-RO', 'sk-SK', 'sl-SI', 'sv-SE' ]`.
**isURL(str [, options])** | check if the string is a URL.<br/><br/>`options` is an object which defaults to `{ protocols: ['http','https','ftp'], require_tld: true, require_protocol: false, require_host: true, require_port: false, require_valid_protocol: true, allow_underscores: false, host_whitelist: false, host_blacklist: false, allow_trailing_dot: false, allow_protocol_relative_urls: false, allow_fragments: true, allow_query_components: true, disallow_auth: false, validate_length: true }`.<br/><br/>`require_protocol` - if set to true isURL will return false if protocol is not present in the URL.<br/>`require_valid_protocol` - isURL will check if the URL's protocol is present in the protocols option.<br/>`protocols` - valid protocols can be modified with this option.<br/>`require_host` - if set to false isURL will not check if host is present in the URL.<br/>`require_port` - if set to true isURL will check if port is present in the URL.<br/>`allow_protocol_relative_urls` - if set to true protocol relative URLs will be allowed.<br/>`allow_fragments` - if set to false isURL will return false if fragments are present.<br/>`allow_query_components` - if set to false isURL will return false if query components are present.<br/>`validate_length` - if set to false isURL will skip string length validation (2083 characters is IE max URL length).
**isUUID(str [, version])** | check if the string is a UUID (version 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5).
**isVariableWidth(str)** | check if the string contains a mixture of full and half-width chars.
**isVAT(str, countryCode)** | check if the string is a [valid VAT number][VAT Number] if validation is available for the given country code matching [ISO 3166-1 alpha-2][ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]. <br/><br/>`countryCode` is one of `['AL', 'AR', 'AT', 'AU', 'BE', 'BG', 'BO', 'BR', 'BY', 'CA', 'CH', 'CL', 'CO', 'CR', 'CY', 'CZ', 'DE', 'DK', 'DO', 'EC', 'EE', 'EL', 'ES', 'FI', 'FR', 'GB', 'GT', 'HN', 'HR', 'HU', 'ID', 'IE', 'IL', 'IN', 'IS', 'IT', 'KZ', 'LT', 'LU', 'LV', 'MK', 'MT', 'MX', 'NG', 'NI', 'NL', 'NO', 'NZ', 'PA', 'PE', 'PH', 'PL', 'PT', 'PY', 'RO', 'RS', 'RU', 'SA', 'SE', 'SI', 'SK', 'SM', 'SV', 'TR', 'UA', 'UY', 'UZ', 'VE']`.
**isWhitelisted(str, chars)** | check if the string consists only of characters that appear in the whitelist `chars`.
**matches(str, pattern [, modifiers])** | check if the string matches the pattern.<br/><br/>Either `matches('foo', /foo/i)` or `matches('foo', 'foo', 'i')`.
## Sanitizers
Here is a list of the sanitizers currently available.
Sanitizer | Description
-------------------------------------- | -------------------------------
**blacklist(input, chars)** | remove characters that appear in the blacklist. The characters are used in a RegExp and so you will need to escape some chars, e.g. `blacklist(input, '\\[\\]')`.
**escape(input)** | replace `<`, `>`, `&`, `'`, `"` and `/` with HTML entities.
**ltrim(input [, chars])** | trim characters from the left-side of the input.
**normalizeEmail(email [, options])** | canonicalize an email address. (This doesn't validate that the input is an email, if you want to validate the email use isEmail beforehand).<br/><br/>`options` is an object with the following keys and default values:<br/><ul><li>*all_lowercase: true* - Transforms the local part (before the @ symbol) of all email addresses to lowercase. Please note that this may violate RFC 5321, which gives providers the possibility to treat the local part of email addresses in a case sensitive way (although in practice most - yet not all - providers don't). The domain part of the email address is always lowercased, as it is case insensitive per RFC 1035.</li><li>*gmail_lowercase: true* - Gmail addresses are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, Gmail addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*gmail_remove_dots: true*: Removes dots from the local part of the email address, as Gmail ignores them (e.g. "john.doe" and "johndoe" are considered equal).</li><li>*gmail_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "foo+bar@gmail.com" becomes "foo@gmail.com").</li><li>*gmail_convert_googlemaildotcom: true*: Converts addresses with domain @googlemail.com to @gmail.com, as they're equivalent.</li><li>*outlookdotcom_lowercase: true* - Outlook.com addresses (including Windows Live and Hotmail) are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, Outlook.com addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*outlookdotcom_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "foo+bar@outlook.com" becomes "foo@outlook.com").</li><li>*yahoo_lowercase: true* - Yahoo Mail addresses are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, Yahoo Mail addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*yahoo_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "-" sign (e.g. "foo-bar@yahoo.com" becomes "foo@yahoo.com").</li><li>*icloud_lowercase: true* - iCloud addresses (including MobileMe) are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, iCloud addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*icloud_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "foo+bar@icloud.com" becomes "foo@icloud.com").</li></ul>
**rtrim(input [, chars])** | trim characters from the right-side of the input.
**stripLow(input [, keep_new_lines])** | remove characters with a numerical value < 32 and 127, mostly control characters. If `keep_new_lines` is `true`, newline characters are preserved (`\n` and `\r`, hex `0xA` and `0xD`). Unicode-safe in JavaScript.
**toBoolean(input [, strict])** | convert the input string to a boolean. Everything except for `'0'`, `'false'` and `''` returns `true`. In strict mode only `'1'` and `'true'` return `true`.
**toDate(input)** | convert the input string to a date, or `null` if the input is not a date.
**toFloat(input)** | convert the input string to a float, or `NaN` if the input is not a float.
**toInt(input [, radix])** | convert the input string to an integer, or `NaN` if the input is not an integer.
**trim(input [, chars])** | trim characters (whitespace by default) from both sides of the input.
**unescape(input)** | replace HTML encoded entities with `<`, `>`, `&`, `'`, `"` and `/`.
**whitelist(input, chars)** | remove characters that do not appear in the whitelist. The characters are used in a RegExp and so you will need to escape some chars, e.g. `whitelist(input, '\\[\\]')`.
### XSS Sanitization
XSS sanitization was removed from the library in [2d5d6999](https://github.com/validatorjs/validator.js/commit/2d5d6999541add350fb396ef02dc42ca3215049e).
For an alternative, have a look at Yahoo's [xss-filters library](https://github.com/yahoo/xss-filters) or at [DOMPurify](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify).
## Contributing
In general, we follow the "fork-and-pull" Git workflow.
1. Fork the repo on GitHub
2. Clone the project to your own machine
3. Work on your fork
1. Make your changes and additions
- Most of your changes should be focused on `src/` and `test/` folders and/or `README.md`.
- Files such as `validator.js`, `validator.min.js` and files in `lib/` folder are autogenerated when running tests (`npm test`) and need not to be changed **manually**.
2. Change or add tests if needed
3. Run tests and make sure they pass
4. Add changes to README.md if needed
4. Commit changes to your own branch
5. **Make sure** you merge the latest from "upstream" and resolve conflicts if there is any
6. Repeat step 3(3) above
7. Push your work back up to your fork
8. Submit a Pull request so that we can review your changes
## Tests
Tests are using mocha, to run the tests use:
```sh
$ npm test
