As of now there are three main functions, isValidEmail, checkPasswordStrength and generatePassword. Detail explaination of them are given below.
Checks if the provided email is valid or not
1. email: the email(string)
`js
const fieldsChecker = require("form-fields-checker");
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidEmail("testemail@gmail.com")); //true
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidEmail("sujoyghosh@company.com")); //true
`
Checks if the provided link is valid or not.
1. link: the link(string)
`js
const fieldsChecker = require("form-fields-checker");
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidLink("www.facebook.com")); //true
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidLink("https://github.com/")); //true
`
Checks if the provided phone no is valid or not.
1. phone: phone no(string)
2. format: Can be string or an array of string. If not provided, then a standard phone no validation format is used to check the phone no. Otherwise if phone no has to be in a specific format, then format field is required. Different ways of adding format is described below. If there are multiple accepted formats, they can be sent as an array of strings, true will be returned if any of the format is valid for the given phone no.
| format(string) | example | About |
| ------------------------ | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| null/not provided | | it will check for the standard formats like (+999999999999, 9999999999, 999-999-9999) |
| 10 | 1234512345 | a 10 digit mobile no |
| 5 5 | 12345 12345 | space saperated 10 digits |
| 4 6 | 1234 123456 | space saperated 10 digits |
| cc 4 6 | 91 1234 123456 | space saperated phone with country code |
| +cc 4 6 | +91 1234 123456 | space saperated phone with country code |
| (cc) 5 5 | (91) 12345 12345 | space saperated phone with country code in parentheses |
| +(cc) 6 4 | +(91) 123456 1234 | space saperated phone with country code and positive sign outside |
| (+cc) 5 5 | (+91) 12345 12345 | space saperated phone with country code and positive sign inside |
| ["(+cc) 5 5", "+cc 5 5"] | | acepted formats provided as a array of string |
| ["10", "+cc 10"] | | |
this way you can different formats can be validated if required.
`js
const fieldsChecker = require("form-fields-checker");
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("9999999999")); // true
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("+919999999999")); // true
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("999 999 9999")); // true
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("+919999 9 9999 9")); // false
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("1234 123456", "4 6")); // true
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("12345 12345", "4 6")); // false
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("+91 12345 12345", "+cc 5 5")); // true
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("+91 12345 12345", "(+cc) 5 5")); // false
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("+(91) 12345 12345", "(+cc) 5 5")); // false
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("(+91) 12345 12345", "(+cc) 5 5")); // true
console.log(
fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("+91 12345 12345", ["(+cc) 5 5", "+cc 5 5"])
); // true, matched second
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("12345 12345", ["10", "+cc 10"])); // false, matched none
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("1234512345", ["10", "+cc 10"])); // true, matched first
console.log(fieldsChecker.isValidPhone("+91 1234512345", ["10", "+cc 10"])); // true, matched second
