Examples
isValidGTIN(productCode)
Returns true if the provided productCode is a valid GTIN (valid length and check digit). On invalid productCodes, returns false by default or throws an error if "error" is passed as the second parameter.
import { isValidGTIN } from "@linvix-sistemas/gtin-validator";
isValidGTIN("078000053401"); //returns true
isValidGTIN("078000053401", "boolean"); //returns true
isValidGTIN("078000053401", "error"); //returns true
isValidGTIN("01012345678905"); //returns false
isValidGTIN("01012345678905", "boolean"); //returns false
isValidGTIN("01012345678905", "error"); //throws error "Invalid GTIN: GTIN check digit is invalid."
isValidGTIN("", "error"); //throws error "Invalid GTIN: The provided productCode is an empty string."
isValidGTIN("84656", "error"); //throws error "Invalid GTIN: Valid GTINs must 8 digits or 12-14 digits."
isValidGTIN("722510035005", "error"); //returns true

isValidGTIN("00012345678905"); //returns true
isValidCheckDigitOnGTIN(productCode)
Returns true if the provided productCode is a valid GTIN and has a valid check digit. If the check digit is invalid, returns false by default or throws an error if "error" is passed as the second parameter.

isValidStringLengthForGTIN(productCode)
Returns true if the provided productCode is a length for a GTIN (a 8, 12, 13, or 14 string of digits). If the length of the string is invalid, returns false by default or throws an error if "error" is passed as the second parameter. This function does NOT check that a productCode has a valid check digit.
import { isValidStringLengthForGTIN } from "@linvix-sistemas/gtin-validator";

removeGTINLeadingZerosToUpcOrGTIN13(productCode)
Removes leading zeros on valid 13 or 14 digit long GTIN's, returning a shorter valid GTIN if possible. Throws an error if the the provided productCode is not a valid GTIN. Only a valid GTIN with a length of 12-14 digits is acceptable to pass as a productCode param.

generateRandomGTIN(gtinType)
Generates a random GTIN string, including a valid check digit of the type provided in gtinType param ("GTIN-8" | "GTIN-12" | "GTIN-13" | "GTIN-14").
import { generateRandomGTIN } from "@linvix-sistemas/gtin-validator";
generateRandomGTIN("GTIN-8"); // returns random 8 character long GTIN with a valid check digit, random example: "12341238"
generateRandomGTIN("GTIN-12"); // returns random 12 character long GTIN with a valid check digit, random example: "722510035005"
generateRandomGTIN("GTIN-13"); // returns random 13 character long GTIN with a valid check digit, random example: "5901234123457"
generateRandomGTIN("GTIN-14"); // returns random 13 character long GTIN with a valid check digit, random example: "00012345678905"
generateRandomGTIN(); // throws error: gtinType param for generateRandomGTIN must be "GTIN-8", "GTIN-12", "GTIN-13", or "GTIN-14".
generateRandomGTIN(""); // throws error: gtinType param for generateRandomGTIN must be "GTIN-8", "GTIN-12", "GTIN-13", or "GTIN-14".
generateRandomGTIN("gtin"); // throws error: gtinType param for generateRandomGTIN must be "GTIN-8", "GTIN-12", "GTIN-13", or "GTIN-14".
generateRandomGTIN("gtin-14"); // throws error: gtinType param for generateRandomGTIN must be "GTIN-8", "GTIN-12", "GTIN-13", or "GTIN-14".
generateArrayOfRandomGTINs(gtinType, numberOfGTINsToGenerate, guaranteeOnlyUniqueGTINs)
Generates an array of random GTINs of type GTIN-8" | "GTIN-12" | "GTIN-13" | "GTIN-14" or use "Any Valid GTIN" to potentially get a mix of different types.
Use "numberOfGTINsToGenerate" param to determine how many GTINs to generate.
By default, the guaranteeOnlyUniqueGTINs param is false, meaning the returned array of GTINs can contain duplicate GTINs. Pass true to guarantee each GTIN is unique, however, keep in mind this can dramatically increase the time it takes to generate the GTINs.
import { generateArrayOfRandomGTINs } from "@linvix-sistemas/gtin-validator";
generateArrayOfRandomGTINs("Any Valid GTIN", 1234); // returns an array of 1234 GTINs of potentially varying GTIN types. Possibly contains duplicates.
generateArrayOfRandomGTINs("Any Valid GTIN", 1234, false); // returns an array of 1234 GTINs of potentially varying GTIN types. Possibly contains duplicates.
generateArrayOfRandomGTINs("Any Valid GTIN", 1234, true); // returns an array of 1234 GTINs of potentially varying GTIN types. All GTINs are unique.
generateArrayOfRandomGTINs("GTIN-12", 100000); // returns an array of 100,000 GTINs-12s. Possibly contains duplicates.
generateArrayOfRandomGTINs("GTIN-13", 123456, true); // returns an array of 123,456 GTIN-13s. All GTINs are unique.
