String validation and sanitization for Dart.

Port of chriso's library.

Complete documentation of the package is available at http://www.dartdocs.org/documentation/validator/0.0.7/index.html#validator/validator

For a list of methods, refer to the sections below.

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  validator: ">=0.0.4 <0.1.0"

You can install packages from the command line:

$ pub get

Alternatively, your editor might support pub. Check the docs for your editor to learn more.

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:validator/validator.dart';

• equals(String str, comparison) - check if the string matches the comparison.
• contains(String str, seed) - check if the string contains the seed.
• matches(String str, pattern) - check if string matches the pattern. matches('foobar', 'foo').
• isEmail(String str) - check if the string is an email.
• isURL(String str [, options]) - check if the string is an URL. options is an object which defaults to { protocols: ['http','https','ftp'], require_tld: true, require_protocol: false, allow_underscores: false, host_whitelist: false, host_blacklist: false }.
• isFQDN(String str [, options]) - check if the string is a fully qualified domain name (e.g. domain.com). options is an object which defaults to { require_tld: true, allow_underscores: false }.
• isIP(String str [, version]) - check if the string is an IP (version 4 or 6).
• isAlpha(String str) - check if the string contains only letters (a-zA-Z).
• isNumeric(String str) - check if the string contains only numbers.
• isAlphanumeric(String str) - check if the string contains only letters and numbers.
• isBase64(String str) - check if a string is base64 encoded.
• isHexadecimal(String str) - check if the string is a hexadecimal number.
• isHexColor(String str) - check if the string is a hexadecimal color.
• isLowercase(String str) - check if the string is lowercase.
• isUppercase(String str) - check if the string is uppercase.
• isInt(String str) - check if the string is an integer.
• isFloat(String str) - check if the string is a float.
• isDivisibleBy(String str, number) - check if the string is a number that's divisible by another.
• isNull(String str) - check if the string is null.
• isLength(String str, min [, max]) - check if the string's length falls in a range. Note: this function takes into account surrogate pairs.
• isByteLength(String str, min [, max]) - check if the string's length (in bytes) falls in a range.
• isUUID(String str [, version]) - check if the string is a UUID (version 3, 4 or 5).
• isDate(String str) - check if the string is a date.
• isAfter(String str [, date]) - check if the string is a date that's after the specified date (defaults to now).
• isBefore(String str [, date]) - check if the string is a date that's before the specified date.
• isIn(String str, values) - check if the string is in a array of allowed values.
• isCreditCard(String str) - check if the string is a credit card.
• isISBN(String str [, version]) - check if the string is an ISBN (version 10 or 13).
• isJSON(String str) - check if the string is valid JSON (note: uses JSON.parse).
• isMultibyte(String str) - check if the string contains one or more multibyte chars.
• isAscii(String str) - check if the string contains ASCII chars only.
• isFullWidth(String str) - check if the string contains any full-width chars.
• isHalfWidth(String str) - check if the string contains any half-width chars.
• isVariableWidth(String str) - check if the string contains a mixture of full and half-width chars.
• isSurrogatePair(String str) - check if the string contains any surrogate pairs chars.
• isMongoId(String str) - check if the string is a valid hex-encoded representation of a [MongoDB ObjectId][mongoid].

• toString(String input) - convert the input to a string.
• toDate(String input) - convert the input to a date, or null if the input is not a date.
• toFloat(String input) - convert the input to a float, or NaN if the input is not a float.
• toInt(String input [, radix]) - convert the input to an integer, or NaN if the input is not an integer.
• toBoolean(String input [, strict]) - convert the input to a boolean. Everything except for '0', 'false' and '' returns true. In strict mode only '1' and 'true' return true.
• trim(String input [, chars]) - trim characters (whitespace by default) from both sides of the input.
• ltrim(String input [, chars]) - trim characters from the left-side of the input.
• rtrim(String input [, chars]) - trim characters from the right-side of the input.
• escape(String input) - replace <, >, &, ' and " with HTML entities.
• stripLow(String input [, keep_new_lines]) - remove characters with a numerical value < 32 and 127, mostly control characters. If keep_new_lines is true, newline characters are preserved (\n and \r, hex 0xA and 0xD). Unicode-safe in JavaScript.
• whitelist(String 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(String input, '\[\]').
• blacklist(String 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(String input, '\[\]').
• normalizeEmail(String email [, options]) - canonicalize an email address. options is an object which defaults to { lowercase: true }. With lowercase set to true, the local part of the email address is lowercased for all domains; the hostname is always lowercased and the local part of the email address is always lowercased for hosts that are known to be case-insensitive (currently only GMail). Normalization follows special rules for known providers: currently, GMail addresses have dots removed in the local part and are stripped of tags (e.g. [email protected] becomes [email protected]) and all @googlemail.com addresses are normalized to @gmail.com.
