  },
  {
    category: 'domain',

  {
    category: 'ip',
    allowed: ['192.168.1.*']
  }
];

let caseA = '192.168.10.1';
hostFilter.filter(caseA, rules);
// Returns true as it matches 4th rule.

let caseB = '192.168.2.1';

Rules

Rule will be an object array having 2 parameters category and allowed.

| Category | Description | | :------------ | :------------ | | ip | To check whether the given IP is valid in a list of IP's. | | ipRange | To check whether the given ip is in a range or not. | | domain | To check wheter the domain matches a given list of domains. |

Examples

(1) Rule using ip, This will check whether the given ip is available in the allowed list or not.

let rules = [{
    category: 'ip',
    allowed: ['127.0.0.2', '127.0.0.4', '127.0.0.6']
  }
]

(2) Rule using ipRange, This will check whether the given ip is between the specified range or not.

Note: In the case of ipRange, allowed should have only 2 values, [ipStart, ipEnd]

let rules = [{
    category: 'ipRange',
    allowed: ['127.1.0.8', '127.1.0.20']
  }
]

(3) Rule using domain, This will check whether the given domain is between the specified list or not.

let rules = [{
    category: 'domain',
    allowed: ['localhost', 'google.com']
  }
]

Extended Useage

(4) Rule using ip with micromatch, This will check whether the given ip is in the format 192.168.*.1. And the * can be any character.

let rules = [{
    category: 'ip',
    allowed: ['192.168.*.1']
  }
]

// 192.168.1.1 - true
// 192.168.10.1 - true
// 192.168.1.2 - false

(5) Rule using ip with micromatch, This will check whether the given ip is in the format 192.168.?.1. And the ? can be any character from 0 to 9.

let rules = [{
    category: 'ip',
    allowed: ['192.168.?.1']
  }
]

// 192.168.1.1 - true
// 192.168.9.1 - true
// 192.168.10.1 -  false
