Sri Lanka NIC Utilities

A tiny utility to extract useful information out of a Sri Lankan NIC number such as date of birth and gender.

Usage

Download node at nodejs.org and install it, if you haven't already.

npm install lanka-nic --save

.. of if you prefer using Yarn:

yarn add lanka-nic

// The NIC numbers used as test cases and examples are randomly generated.
// Any resemblance to that of an actual person's is purely coincidental.

const lankaNIC = require("lanka-nic");
let { dateOfBirth, gender } = lankaNIC.getInfoFromNIC("925182566V");
/*
    'dateOfBirth' should return: 1992-01-18T00:00:00.000Z
        as an instance of Date
    'gender' should return: female
        as a String
*/

Tests

Either of the following should work depending on your preferences: npm test or yarn test.

Dependencies

No dependencies so far. The only dev dependencies I've included so far are for development purposes and not actually needed for the functioning of the module.

Contributing

In lieu of a formal style guide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code.
