Core Zipcode BR
Core Zipcode BR is a Brazilian ZIP code validation and lookup library for Node.js and TypeScript. It provides address lookup from various Brazilian CEP services (ViaCEP, API CEP, OpenCEP, BrasilAPI) and validates ZIP codes based on the Brazilian format.
Features
- Validate Brazilian ZIP codes (CEP) with
verify
function. - Lookup addresses from multiple CEP services.
- Supports ViaCEP, API CEP, OpenCEP, and BrasilAPI for address lookup.
- Optional logging to monitor which service is being queried.
- Built with TypeScript and fully typed.
Installation
To install the package, run:
npm install core-zipcode-br
Usage
1. Validate a CEP
You can verify if a CEP (Brazilian ZIP code) is valid according to the Brazilian format.
import { CepService } from 'core-zipcode-br';
const cepService = new CepService();
const isValid = cepService.verify('01001-000'); // true or false
console.log(isValid ? 'Valid CEP' : 'Invalid CEP');
2. Lookup an Address by CEP
The consult
method allows you to retrieve address details based on a Brazilian ZIP code (CEP). The service will query multiple providers (ViaCEP, API CEP, OpenCEP, BrasilAPI) and return the first result found.
import { CepService } from 'core-zipcode-br';
const cepService = new CepService();
cepService.searchAddressByZipCode('01001-000')
.then((address) => {
console.log(address);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error('Error:', error.message);
});
3. Enable Logging (Optional)
By default, logging is disabled. If you'd like to see which service is being queried, you can pass { log: true }
when initializing CepService
.
import { CepService } from 'core-zipcode-br';
const cepService = new CepService({ log: true });
cepService.searchAddressByZipCode('01001-000')
.then((address) => {
console.log(address);
});
Example Output
{
"state": "SP",
"city": "São Paulo",
"street": "Praça da Sé",
"neighborhood": "Sé",
"zipCode": "01001000"
}
API
verify(cep: string): boolean
Validates the format of a Brazilian CEP. Returns true

street: string;
neighborhood: string;
zipCode: string;
}
