Checks a string against the New Zealand Ministry of Health NHI Validation Routine
npm install nhi-validator
Checks a string against the New Zealand Ministry of Health NHI Validation
Routine.
Supports the old and new NHI number formats specified in
HISO 10046:2023.
``sh`
npm install nhi-validator
`js
import {validateNHI} from 'nhi-validator'
validateNHI('WLD9413') // => true
validateNHI('zsc21tn') // => true
validateNHI('zzZ0044') // => false
validateNHI('ZZZ00AA') // => false
`
Checks are case-insensitive.
NHI numbers that begin with Z are reserved for testing.Z
If you wish to exclude these values, you will need to manually check for a
prefix:
`js
import {validateNHI} from 'nhi-validator'
let value = 'zvb97xq'
validateNHI(value) // => true
!value.toUpperCase().startsWith('Z') && validateNHI(value) // => false
``
