is.js

Check your data against regular expressions or known keywords (see Keyword section). Different versions for different platforms are availible.

Currently these plugins are stable:

• jQuery
• Vanilla JavaScript
• Node.js Module

I wrote a really short blog post about the project a while ago, which can be read at rthor.is/javascript/cross-plugin-javascript-project-isjs. Note that some code examples are out of date.

Additional Goodies

The second parameter can point to a function within the check.fn object. It can also be a regular user defined function accepting a single argument which can be used for some complex (or simple) validation.

// Example (vanilla JS)
is(42, function ( num ) {
    return num === 20; // returns false
});

The expression argument can be an actual regular expression.

// Example (vanilla JS)
is('love', /.+/); // returns true

Change Log

0.2.1 AUGUST 3, 2013

• Add a Luhn algorithm as a check function. Thanks everyone who pointed out the need for it.

• Fix the README.

• Rename the regex obj to check. It just makes more sense since we now have function tests.

0.2.0 JULY 30, 2013

• All regular expressions are unit tested.

• Added functionality to validate via functions. The second argument can now either be a regular function accepting a single argument or a string pointing to a function within the regex.fn object.

• Current functions include: even, odd, regexp, ok and function.

0.1.2 JUNE 14, 2013

• phone has become an object so calling it requires a two letter ISO 3166 country code. For example validating Icelandic phone numbers in vanilla JS is now done thusly: is('+354 000-0000', 'phone:is'). In addition a few more countries were added.

• cc - pretty much same thing happend as with the phone thing.

0.1.1 May 24, 2013

• First stable release
