Installation
Ruby
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem "ifsc"And then execute:
$ bundleOr install it yourself as:
$ gem install ifscInside of your Ruby program do:
require "ifsc"...to pull it in as a dependency.
PHP
composer require php-http/curl-client razorpay/ifsc
The PHP package has a dependency on the virtual package php-http/client-implementation which requires you to install an adapter, but we do not care which one. That is an implementation detail in your application. You do not have to use the php-http/curl-client if you do not want to. You may use the php-http/guzzle6-adapter. Read more about the virtual packages, why this is a good idea and about the flexibility it brings at the HTTPlug docs. You can find a list of suported providers on packagist.
The minimum PHP version supported is 7.3. The package can be installed on PHP>=7.1 however.
Node.js
$ npm install ifsc
Go
This package is compatible with modern Go releases in module mode, with Go installed:
go get github.com/razorpay/ifsc/v2
will resolve and add the package to the current development module, along with its dependencies.
Alternatively the same can be achieved if you use import in a package:
import "github.com/razorpay/ifsc/v2/src/go"
and run go get without parameters.
Finally, to use the top-of-trunk version of this repo, use the following command:
go get github.com/razorpay/ifsc/v2@master

code = Razorpay::IFSC::IFSC.find 'HDFC0CKUB01'
code.bank_name "Khamgaon Urban Co-operative Bank"This works offline, and doesn't need a network call. This information is stored across 2 files:
src/sublet.json- Autogenerated from the NPCI websitesrc/custom-sublets.json- Maintained manually. Coverage is not 100%. PRs are welcome.
Sublet (or Sub-Member) branches are IFSC codes belonging to a large bank, but leased out to
smaller banks. In some cases, entire ranges are given to a specific bank.
For eg, all IFSCs starting with YESB0TSS belong to Satara Shakari Bank. These are
maintained manually in custom-sublets.json.

}Code Notes
Both the packages ship with a 300kb JSON file, that includes the entire list of IFSC codes, in a compressed, but human-readable format.
The Bank Code and Names list is maintained manually, but verified with tests to be accurate as per the latest RBI publications. This lets us add older Bank codes to the name list, without worrying about them getting deleted in newer builds.
