Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

cdigit - Collection of check digit algorithms implemented in JavaScript

Synopsis

Node.js:

import { luhn } from "cdigit";

// Luhn (a.k.a. Mod 10) algorithm
console.log(luhn.compute("1234")); // "4"
console.log(luhn.generate("1234")); // "12344"
console.log(luhn.validate("12344")); // true

Command-line:

# Damm algorithm
npx cdigit --algo damm compute 1234
npx cdigit --algo damm generate 1234
npx cdigit --algo damm validate 12340

Supported Algorithms

Generic Algorithms

| Algorithm | cdigit name | Input string | Check character(s) | | ---------- | ----------- | ------------- | ------------------ | | Luhn | luhn | Numeric (0-9) | 1 digit (0-9) | | Verhoeff | verhoeff | Numeric (0-9) | 1 digit (0-9) | | Damm | damm | Numeric (0-9) | 1 digit (0-9) |

ISO/IEC 7064 Family

ISO/IEC 7064 describes eight generic check digit (character) systems for numeric, alphabetic, and alphanumeric strings. ISO/IEC 7064 specifies two types of systems that use the same algorithm with different parameters: Pure systems (MOD 11-2, MOD 37-2, MOD 97-10, MOD 661-26, and MOD 1271-36) and Hybrid systems (MOD 11,10, MOD 27,26, and MOD 37,36).

| Algorithm | cdigit name | Input string | Check character(s) | | ------------------------- | ----------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | ISO/IEC 7064, MOD 11-2 | mod11_2 | Numeric (0-9) | 1 digit or 'X' (0-9X) | | ISO/IEC 7064, MOD 37-2 | mod37_2 | Alphanumeric (0-9A-Z) | 1 digit, letter, or '*' (0-9A-Z*) | | ISO/IEC 7064, MOD 97-10 | mod97_10 | Numeric (0-9) | 2 digits (0-9) | | ISO/IEC 7064, MOD 661-26 | mod661_26 | Alphabetic (A-Z) | 2 letters (A-Z) | | ISO/IEC 7064, MOD 1271-36 | mod1271_36 | Alphanumeric (0-9A-Z) | 2 digits or letters (0-9A-Z) | | ISO/IEC 7064, MOD 11,10 | mod11_10 | Numeric (0-9) | 1 digit (0-9) | | ISO/IEC 7064, MOD 27,26 | mod27_26 | Alphabetic (A-Z) | 1 letter (A-Z) | | ISO/IEC 7064, MOD 37,36 | mod37_36 | Alphanumeric (0-9A-Z) | 1 digit or letter (0-9A-Z) |

GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) Family

GTINs are internationally unified product identification numbers that are often (or historically) referred to as UPC, EAN, ISBN-13, etc. GTINs have several variations in length but share the identical check digit algorithm; therefore, cdigit currently provides only one generic gtin object for GTINs and other GS1 data structures. Note that the gtin object does not check the length or semantic validity of a given GTIN string.

| Algorithm | cdigit name | Input string | Check character(s) | Also known as | | --------- | ----------- | ------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------- | | GTIN-8 | gtin | Numeric (0-9) | 1 digit (0-9) | EAN-8 | | GTIN-12 | gtin | Numeric (0-9) | 1 digit (0-9) | UPC, UPC-A | | GTIN-13 | gtin | Numeric (0-9) | 1 digit (0-9) | EAN, JAN, ISBN-13, etc. | | GTIN-14 | gtin | Numeric (0-9) | 1 digit (0-9) | EAN, UCC-14 |

Usage - Node.js

Load algorithm objects using the cdigit names listed in Supported Algorithms section.

import { mod97_10 } from "cdigit";

Algorithm objects implement the following methods:

validate(strWithCheckChars: string): boolean

Checks if a protected string is valid per the algorithm.

console.log(mod97_10.validate("123482")); // true

generate(strWithoutCheckChars: string): string

Generates the protected string from the argument using the algorithm. The generated string consists of the original bare string and computed check character(s), which are combined in accordance with the algorithm.

console.log(mod97_10.generate("1234")); // "123482"

compute(strWithoutCheckChars: string): string

Generates the check character(s) from the argument using the algorithm. Unlike generate(), this method returns the check character(s) only.

console.log(mod97_10.compute("1234")); // "82"

computeFromNumVals(numValsWithoutCheckChars: number[]): number[]

Generates the check character(s) from the argument using the algorithm. This method is an alphabet-independent equivalent of compute(), where the return value and argument are both represented as arrays of each digit's numerical value.

console.log(mod97_10.computeFromNumVals([1, 2, 3, 4])); // [8, 2]

See example.js for usage examples.

Usage - Command-line

Usage: cdigit [options] [command]

Options:
  -a, --algo <name>  specify check digit algorithm by name
  -h, --help         display help for command

Commands:
  validate <string>  check if string is valid
  generate <string>  append check character(s) to string
  compute <string>   print check character(s) computed from string

-a, --algo <name> option accepts the names listed in Supported Algorithms section and defaults to luhn or the value of CDIGIT_CLI_DEFAULT_ALGO environment variable (if set).
