Unique Learner Number

A Unique Learner Number (ULN) is a unique identifier assigned to learners in the United Kingdom. It is used to track and record an individual's learning and qualifications across different educational institutions and training providers.

Installation

npm install @accuser/ulnjs

Examples

Create a new ULN object from a String value:

const uln = ULN.fromString("0000000042");

Validate a ULN:

if (!ULN.isValid(uln)) {
    // ...grumble
};

Require a valid ULN:

class LearnerRegistrationRequest {
    #uln;

    /**
     * @param {string|ULN} uln
     */
    constructor(uln) {
        // `uln` is not `null` or `undefined`
        // `uln` is a valid ULN value
        this.#uln = ULN.requireValidULN(uln);
    }
}
