Synopsis

A host formatting validator.

Usage

   const {host} = require('host-validator');

   # Validate an IPv4 address
   host('172.17.0.5').ipv4().validate(); # true -> host is valid.
   host('256.15.1789').ipv4().validate(); # false -> host is invalid.

   # Validate an IPv6 address
   host('2001:0db8:0a0b:12f0:0000:0000:0000:0001').ipv6().validate(); # true -> host is valid.
   host('[2001:0db8:0a0b:12f0:0000:0000:0000:0001]').ipv6().validate(); # true -> host is valid.
   host('foo').ipv6().validate(); # false -> host is invalid.

   # Validate a hostname (RFC 1123)
   host('').hostname().validate(); # true -> host is valid.
   host('[2001:0db8:0a0b:12f0:0000:0000:0000:0001]').hostname().validate(); # true -> host is valid.
