Callback that is called with card type objects and should return truthy/falsy until a match is found.

new Type(config) -> type

Creates a new card type.

var Type = require('creditcards-types').Type
var type = new Type(config)

config

Type: object

The type configuration, containing the following properties:

• pattern
  • description: A regular expression for validating a full card number.
  • required: true
  • type: regexp
• eagerPattern
  • description: A regular expression for guessing the card number from a partial number.
  • required: true
  • type: regexp
• groupPattern
  • description: A regular expression for separating the card number into formatting. groups
  • type: regexp
  • default: /(\d{1,4})(\d{1,4})?(\d{1,4})?(\d{1,4})?/

var types = require('creditcards-types').types;
var visa  = types.visa;

// Strict type validation
visa.test('4242424242424242'); // => true

// Eager type checking
visa.test('42', true); // => true

type.group(number) -> array[string]

Separates the card number into formatting groups.
