Documentation

eanCheckDigit

• Calculate the check digit for a EAN code, given the first 7 or 12 digits.
• @param {string} code - The first 7 or 12 digits of a EAN code.
• @returns {number} The check digit for the code.

const eanWithoutCheckDigit = '001200000013';
const checkDigit = eanCheckDigit(eanWithoutCheckDigit);
console.log(checkDigit); // 3

upcCheckDigit

• Calculate the check digit for a UPC code, given the first 7 or 11 digits.
• @param {string} code - The first 7 or 11 digits of a UPC code.
• @returns {number} The check digit for the code.

const upcWithoutCheckDigit = '72641217542';
const checkDigit = upcCheckDigit(upcWithoutCheckDigit);
console.log(checkDigit); // 5

expandupce

• Expand a UPC-E code to a UPC-A code.
• @param {string} code - A UPC-E code.
• @returns {string} The expanded UPC-A code.

const upce = '01236432';
const upca = expandupce(upce);
console.log(upca); // 012300000642

validupce

• Check if a UPC-E code is exactly 8 bytes long, consists of digits only, and has a valid check digit.
• @param {string} code - A UPC-E code.
• @returns {boolean} True if the code is valid, false otherwise.

const upce = '01236432';
const valid = validupce(upce);
console.log(valid); // true

validupca

• Check if a UPC-A code is exactly 12 bytes long, consists of digits only, and has a valid check digit.
• @param {string} code - A UPC-A code.
• @returns {boolean} True if the code is valid, false otherwise.

const upca = '012300000642';
const valid = validupca(upca);
console.log(valid); // true

upca2ean13

• Convert a UPC-A code to a EAN-13 code.
• @param {string} code - A UPC-A code.
• @returns {string} The EAN-13 code.

const upca = '123456789012';
const ean13 = upca2ean13(upca);
console.log(ean13); // 0123456789012

validean13

• Check if a EAN-13 code is exactly 13 bytes long, consists of digits only, and has a valid check digit.
• @param {string} code - A EAN-13 code.
• @returns {boolean} True if the code is valid, false otherwise.

const ean13 = '0123456789012';
const valid = validean13(ean13);
console.log(valid); // true

isBarCode

• Check if a code is a valid UPC-A, UPC-E, or EAN-13 code.
• @param {string} code - A UPC-A, UPC-E, or EAN-13 code.
• @returns {boolean} True if the code is valid, false otherwise.

const upca = '123456789012';
const valid = isBarCode(upca);
console.log(valid); // true
