vindec

Node.js VIN decoding package

$3


If you prefer the previous version of this module, please use npm install vindec@1.1.1. The current version creates a constructor, but the functionality is the same.

$3

``javascript

const vindec = require('vindec');
console.log(Valid: ${vindec.validate('YOURMOM')}) // false
console.log(JSON.stringify(vindec.decode('meh'))) // { vin: 'meh', valid: false }

`

You may optionally add a callback as a second argument to decode for error checking as in the past, but it has been simplified and will always return an object.

$3

`javascript
{ vin: '12345678901234567',
valid: true,
wmi: '123',
vds: '5678',
checkDigit: '9',
vis: '01234567',
region: 'Somewhere Around Here',
make: 'UFO',
year: '1776',
sequence_id: '234567' }
`

$3

Fetches the vehicle information from the NHTSA api. As a bonus, there is an opportunity to utilize the error responses from their api to provide better error handling to vindec in the future.

#### NHTSA API Documentation
You may read the official NHTSA API documentaiton site. Additionally, if you're feeling squirrelly and want to hit other endpoints, feel free to modify ./lib/nhtsa.js to your liking, I may add/change somethings here in the future, be forewarned.

#### Usage (test)

`javascript

const vin = '1G1BC53X76F123456' // example
const vindec = new Vindec()

vindec.nhtsa(vin).then(res => {
console.log(res.data)
}).catch(err => {
console.error(err)
})
