# About

A suite of util methods that provides efficient validation.

Detection of IPFS Paths and identifiers in URLs is a two-stage process:

1. `pathPattern`/`pathGatewayPattern`/`subdomainGatewayPattern` regex is applied to quickly identify potential candidates
2. proper CID validation is applied to remove false-positives

## Example

```TypeScript
import * as isIPFS from 'is-ipfs'

isIPFS.multihash('QmYjtig7VJQ6XsnUjqqJvj7QaMcCAwtrgNdahSiFofrE7o') // true
isIPFS.multihash('noop') // false
