What does this package do?

This package provides a function (valid?) that allows to check and validate strings, based on different built-in schemes/patterns, e.g e-mails, urls, etc.

How do I use it?

Simply import it and use the included valid? function:

import "validator"!

valid?.url "https://arturo-lang.io"
; => true

valid?.email "loremIpsum@"
; => false

valid?.iban "GB82 WEST 1234 5698 7654 32"
; => true

valid?.ip "127.0.0.1"
; => true

valid?.ip.v6 "127.0.0.1"
; => false

And we may also check more than one strings:

valid?.email ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]
; => true

Tip

Different type of checks may accept different extra params, so you'd better have a look into the reference first! 😉
