Rut-Chile

Comprehensive RUT Validation and Utilities for JavaScript and TypeScript

Rut-Chile is a comprehensive package for working with Chilean RUTs (Rol Único Tributario) in JavaScript and TypeScript. It provides a robust validation mechanism that goes beyond the standard verification digit check, ensuring the RUT adheres to all structural and format requirements. Additionally, it offers versatile formatting and de-formatting functionalities with control over case sensitivity and hyphen.

Key Features:

• Rigorous Validation:

  • Validates the verification digit using the Chilean RUT algorithm.
  • Checks for invalid characters.
  • Ensures proper spacing and dash placement.
  • Verifies valid RUT lenght.
  • validateWithResponse function provides a detailed response object including validation status, message, and validity flag (boolean).

• Flexible Formatting:

  • Formats RUTs to various standard formats with configurable separators (dot or comma).
  • Case Sensitivity Control: Formats the RUT output (including the verification digit 'K') in uppercase or lowercase as desired.

• De-formatting Options:

  • Removes formatting characters and dashes if desired (123456789 or 12345678-9).
  • Extracts RUT from formatted strings.

• TypeScript Support:

  • Seamless integration with TypeScript projects.

Installation:

npm install rut-chile

Usage:

validate(rut: string): boolean and validateWithResponse(rut: string): RUTResult

These methods validate a Chilean RUT (Rol Único Tributario). Checks for invalid characters, spaces or improper length. And finally check if the verification digit is valid. All-in-One RUT validation!

import RUT from 'rut-chile';

const rut = '10766555-2';

// Rut-Chile also accepts RUTs in these formats:
// 10.766.555-2 (Dotted format)
// 10,766,555-2 (Comma format)
// 107665552 (Unformatted, without separators and without hyphen)
// Accepts lowercase or uppercase for RUTs with 'k'.

console.log(RUT.validate(rut)) // Output: true
console.log(RUT.validateWithResponse(rut)) // RUTResult Object Output: { status: success, message: 'Valid RUT', payload: true}

const badRut = '10766555-k'; // Wrong verification digit

console.log(RUT.validate(badRut)) // Output: false
console.log(RUT.validateWithResponse(badRut)) // RUTResult Object Output: { status: error, message: 'Invalid check digit', payload: false}

getDigit(rutWithoutDigit: string, toUppercase = false): string

Returns a RUT verification digit. Can be returned with uppercase in case of 'k' if desired. Note: it does not check for invalid characters.

import RUT from 'rut-chile';

const rutWithoutDigit = '16591919';

// Rut-Chile also accepts RUTs in these formats:
// 16.591.919 (Dotted format)
// 16,591,919 (Comma format)
// 16591919 (Unformatted)

console.log(RUT.getDigit(rutWithoutDigit)) // Output: k
console.log(RUT.getDigit(rutWithoutDigit, true)) // Output: K

checkDigit(rut: string): boolean

Returns a boolean indicating whether the check digit is valid or not. Note: it does not check for invalid characters.

import RUT from 'rut-chile';

const rut = '10766555-2';

// Rut-Chile also accepts RUTs in these formats:
// 10.766.555-2 (Dotted format)
// 10,766,555-2 (Comma format)
// 107665552 (Unformatted)
// Accepts lower and uppercase in case of 'k'

console.log(RUT.checkDigit(rut)) // Output: true

const badRut = '10766555-3'; // bad verification digit
console.log(RUT.checkDigit(badRut)) // Output: false

format(rut: string, withComma = false, toUpperCase = false): string

Returns the formatted RUT number with dots and dash. Can be returned with comma and uppercase if desired too. Note: it does not check for invalid characters.

import RUT from 'rut-chile';

const rut = '16591919k';

// Rut-Chile also accepts RUTs in these formats:
// 16591919-k (Unformatted, only with dash)
// Accepts lowercase and uppercase in case of 'k'

console.log(RUT.format(rut)) // Output: 16.591.919-k
console.log(RUT.format(rut, true)) // Output: 16,591,919-k
console.log(RUT.format(rut, true, true)) // Output: 16,591,919-K

deformat(rut: string, noDash = false, toUpperCase = false): string

Returns the RUT number without dots or commas. Can be returned without dash and with uppercase if desired too. Note: it does not check for invalid characters.

import RUT from 'rut-chile';

const rut = '16.591.919-k';

// Rut-Chile also accepts RUTs in these formats:
// 16,591,919-k (Comma format)
// Accepts lowercase or uppercase in case of 'k'.

console.log(RUT.deformat(rut)) // Output: 16591919-k
console.log(RUT.deformat(rut, true)) // Output: 16591919k
console.log(RUT.deformat(rut, true, true)) // Output: 16591919K
