	validator.js
A library of string validators and sanitizers.
Strings only
This library validates and sanitizes strings only.
If you're not sure if your input is a string, coerce it using input + ''.
Passing anything other than a string is an error.
Installation and Usage
Server-side usage
Install the library with npm install validator
No ES6
var validator = require('validator');
validator.isEmail('foo@bar.com'); //=> true
ES6
import validator from 'validator';
Or, import only a subset of the library:
import isEmail from 'validator/lib/isEmail';
Tree-shakeable ES imports
import isEmail from 'validator/es/lib/isEmail';
Client-side usage
The library can be loaded either as a standalone script, or through an AMD-compatible loader
<script type="text/javascript" src="validator.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  validator.isEmail('foo@bar.com'); //=> true
</script>
The library can also be installed through bower
$ bower install validator-js

Sanitizers
Here is a list of the sanitizers currently available.
| Sanitizer | Description | 
|---|---|
| blacklist(input, chars) | remove characters that appear in the blacklist. The characters are used in a RegExp and so you will need to escape some chars, e.g. blacklist(input, '\\[\\]'). | 
| escape(input) | replace <,>,&,',"and/with HTML entities. | 
| unescape(input) | replaces HTML encoded entities with <,>,&,',"and/. | 
| ltrim(input [, chars]) | trim characters from the left-side of the input. | 
| normalizeEmail(email [, options]) | canonicalizes an email address. (This doesn't validate that the input is an email, if you want to validate the email use isEmail beforehand) optionsis an object with the following keys and default values:
 | 
| rtrim(input [, chars]) | trim characters from the right-side of the input. | 
| stripLow(input [, keep_new_lines]) | remove characters with a numerical value < 32 and 127, mostly control characters. If keep_new_linesistrue, newline characters are preserved (\nand\r, hex0xAand0xD). Unicode-safe in JavaScript. | 
| toBoolean(input [, strict]) | convert the input string to a boolean. Everything except for '0','false'and''returnstrue. In strict mode only'1'and'true'returntrue. | 
| toDate(input) | convert the input string to a date, or nullif the input is not a date. | 
| toFloat(input) | convert the input string to a float, or NaNif the input is not a float. | 
| toInt(input [, radix]) | convert the input string to an integer, or NaNif the input is not an integer. | 
| trim(input [, chars]) | trim characters (whitespace by default) from both sides of the input. | 
| whitelist(input, chars) | remove characters that do not appear in the whitelist. The characters are used in a RegExp and so you will need to escape some chars, e.g. whitelist(input, '\\[\\]'). | 
| isSlug | Check if the string is of type slug. Optionsallow a single hyphen between string. e.g. [cn-cn,cn-c-c] | 
XSS Sanitization
XSS sanitization was removed from the library in 2d5d6999.
For an alternative, have a look at Yahoo's xss-filters library or at DOMPurify.
Contributing
In general, we follow the "fork-and-pull" Git workflow.
- Fork the repo on GitHub
- Clone the project to your own machine
- Work on your fork
- Make your changes and additions
- Most of your changes should be focused on src/andtest/folders and/orREADME.md.
- Files such as validator.js,validator.min.jsand files inlib/folder are autogenerated when running tests (npm test) and need not to be changed manually.
 
- Most of your changes should be focused on 
- Change or add tests if needed
- Run tests and make sure they pass
- Add changes to README.md if needed
 
- Make your changes and additions
- Commit changes to your own branch
- Make sure you merge the latest from "upstream" and resolve conflicts if there is any
- Repeat step 3(3) above
- Push your work back up to your fork
- Submit a Pull request so that we can review your changes
Tests
Tests are using mocha, to run the tests use:
$ npm test
