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 will result in an error.

## Installation and Usage

### Server-side usage

Install the `validator` package as:

```sh
npm i validator
yarn add validator
pnpm i validator
```

#### No ES6

```javascript
var validator = require('validator');

validator.isEmail('foo@bar.com'); //=> true
```

#### ES6

```javascript
import validator from 'validator';
```

Or, import only a subset of the library:

```javascript
import isEmail from 'validator/lib/isEmail';
```

#### Tree-shakeable ES imports

```javascript
import isEmail from 'validator/es/lib/isEmail';
```

### Client-side usage

The library can be loaded either as a standalone script, or through an [AMD][amd]-compatible loader

```html
<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]

```bash
$ bower install validator-js
```

CDN

```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/validator@latest/validator.min.js"></script>
```

If you don't want to allow to set `rgb` or `rgba` values with percents, like `rgb(5%,5%,5%)`, or `rgba(90%,90%,90%,.3)`, then set it to false. `allowSpaces` defaults to `true`, which prohibits whitespace. If set to false, whitespace between color values is allowed, such as `rgb(255, 255, 255)` or even `rgba(255, 128, 0, 0.7)`.

**matches(str, pattern [, modifiers])** | check if the string matches the pattern. Either `matches('foo', /foo/i)` or `matches('foo', 'foo', 'i')`. **Note:** The pattern is not checked for possible ReDoS attacks. We do not recommend that the user can provide their own pattern.

## 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.
**ltrim(input [, chars])** | trim characters from the left-side of the input.
**normalizeEmail(email [, options])** | canonicalize an email address. (This doesn't validate that the input is an email, if you want to validate the email use isEmail beforehand). `options` is an object with the following keys and default values: <ul><li>*all_lowercase: true* - Transforms the local part (before the @ symbol) of all email addresses to lowercase. Please note that this may violate RFC 5321, which gives providers the possibility to treat the local part of email addresses in a case sensitive way (although in practice most - yet not all - providers don't). The domain part of the email address is always lowercased, as it is case insensitive per RFC 1035.</li><li>*gmail_lowercase: true* - Gmail addresses are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, Gmail addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*gmail_remove_dots: true*: Removes dots from the local part of the email address, as Gmail ignores them (e.g. "john.doe" and "johndoe" are considered equal).</li><li>*gmail_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "foo+bar@gmail.com" becomes "foo@gmail.com").</li><li>*gmail_convert_googlemaildotcom: true*: Converts addresses with domain @googlemail.com to @gmail.com, as they're equivalent.</li><li>*outlookdotcom_lowercase: true* - Outlook.com addresses (including Windows Live and Hotmail) are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, Outlook.com addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*outlookdotcom_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "foo+bar@outlook.com" becomes "foo@outlook.com").</li><li>*yahoo_lowercase: true* - Yahoo Mail addresses are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, Yahoo Mail addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*yahoo_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "-" sign (e.g. "foo-bar@yahoo.com" becomes "foo@yahoo.com").</li><li>*icloud_lowercase: true* - iCloud addresses (including MobileMe) are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, iCloud addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*icloud_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "foo+bar@icloud.com" becomes "foo@icloud.com").</li></ul>
**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_lines` is `true`, newline characters are preserved (`\n` and `\r`, hex `0xA` and `0xD`). Unicode-safe in JavaScript.
**toBoolean(input [, strict])** | convert the input string to a boolean. Everything except for `'0'`, `'false'` and `''` returns `true`. In strict mode only `'1'` and `'true'` return `true`.
**toDate(input)** | convert the input string to a date, or `null` if the input is not a date.
**toFloat(input)** | convert the input string to a float, or `NaN` if the input is not a float.
**toInt(input [, radix])** | convert the input string to an integer, or `NaN` if the input is not an integer.
**trim(input [, chars])** | trim characters (whitespace by default) from both sides of the input.
**unescape(input)** | replace HTML encoded entities with `<`, `>`, `&`, `'`, `"`, `` ` ``, `\` and `/`.
**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, '\\[\\]')`.

### XSS Sanitization

XSS sanitization was removed from the library in [2d5d6999](https://github.com/validatorjs/validator.js/commit/2d5d6999541add350fb396ef02dc42ca3215049e).

For an alternative, have a look at Yahoo's [xss-filters library](https://github.com/yahoo/xss-filters) or at [DOMPurify](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify).
