creditcards

Parse, format, and validate credit card data.

Installing

npm install --save creditcards

API

creditcards exports:

• card
• cvc
• expiration
• withTypes (constructs a new copy of the module with custom types)

You can also require modules individually. This is particularly useful if you wish to pass in custom types. card and cvc each export a function that accepts an array of card types (see creditcards-types). expiration returns an object.

const Card = require('creditcards/card')
const card = Card([visa])
card.isValid('4242424242424242')
// => true

const expiration = require('creditcards/expiration')
expiration.isPast(10, 2010)
// => true

withTypes(types) -> object

Returns a new copy of the main module with custom types.
