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 🙏

Installation

To use the id-doc-validator library in your project, you can install it via npm or yarn:

npm install id-doc-validator
# OR
yarn add id-doc-validator

How to Use

isValidIdDoc

To validate personal identification documents, use the isValidIdDoc function. It takes three parameters:

  • idDoc (string): The identification document number to validate.
  • country (string): The alpha-2 country code following ISO 3166-1 (e.g., "ES" for Spain, "FR" for France).
  • idDocType (string, optional): The type of identification document to validate. For a list of supported identification document types, please refer to the expanded view of the Supported Countries (to validate VAT, use isValidVat). If this parameter is not passed, the function will check if the passed id doc is valid for any of the supported id docs for the country.

isValidVat

To validate any VAT number from the list of Supported Countries, use the isValidVat function. It takes one parameter:

  • vatNumber (string): The VAT number to validate. Should include the VAT country code. In most cases it coincides with the alpha-2 country code, with some exceptions (e.g., "EL" for Greece instead of "GR").

isValidViesVat

To validate a VAT number for an EU member state, use the isValidViesVat function. This function uses the API provided by the European Commission to validate the VAT number. It takes two parameters:

  • vatNumber (string): The VAT number to validate. Should not include the country code.
  • countryCode (string): The alpha-2 country code following ISO 3166-1 (e.g., "ES" for Spain, "FR" for France).

It returns an object with the following properties:

  • isValid (boolean): Whether the VAT number is valid or not.
  • userError (boolean): The error returned by the VIES API. If the request was successful, it will equal 'VALID' or 'INVALID'. If the request was not successful, it will return a string with the error code.
  • vatNumber (string): The VAT number actually validated. For example, if the passed VAT number is "ES12345678", the returned VAT number will be "12345678", without the country code.

Please note that the VIES API is very limited in the number of requests it can handle. Please use moderately and expect the service to be unavailable at times.

supportedIdDocsByCountry

To get a list of supported identification documents for a country, use the supportedIdDocsByCountry function. It takes one parameter:

  • country (string): The alpha-2 country code following ISO 3166-1 (e.g., "ES" for Spain, "FR" for France).

It returns an array of strings with the supported identification documents for the country.

supportedCountriesIdDoc

To get a list of supported countries for identification documents (not VAT), use the supportedCountriesIdDoc function. It takes no parameters.

It returns an array of strings with the supported countries.

supportedCountriesVat

To get a list of supported countries for VAT validation, use the supportedCountriesVat function. It takes no parameters.

It returns an array of strings with the supported VAT country codes for VAT validation.
