rutlib v1.0.5

RUTlib

A JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, generating and formatting RUTs (chilean identification).

Quick Installation

npm i rutlib

The module exports the following functions:

• cleanRut(rut: string): string
• validateRut(rut: string): boolean
• getLastDigitOfRut(rutNumbers: number): string
• formatRut(rut: string, withDots: boolean = true): string
• generateRut(length: number = 8, formatted: boolean = true): string

Usage

Clean a RUT

This function takes a RUT as a string and removes all non-numeric characters, and transforms the input to uppercase.

import { cleanRut } from 'rutlib';

cleanRut('1.234-3'); // 12343
cleanRut('1234-3'); // 12343
cleanRut('12343'); // 12343

Validate a RUT

This function checks whether a RUT is valid according to the RUT verification rules. Returns true if the RUT is valid and false otherwise.

import { validateRut } from 'rutlib';

validateRut('1.234-3'); // true
validateRut('1234-3'); // true
validateRut('12343'); // true

validateRut('1.234-0'); // false
validateRut('1234-0'); // false
validateRut('12340'); // false

Get Verificator Digit of a number

This function receives the numeric part of the RUT and calculates the corresponding verification digit.

import { getLastDigitOfRut } from 'rutlib';

getLastDigitOfRut(1234); // 3
getLastDigitOfRut(1235); // 1
getLastDigitOfRut(1236); // K

Format RUT

This function takes a RUT and formats it according to the RUT format conventions, with the option to add or not separation points every three digits.

import { formatRut } from 'rutlib';

formatRut('1.234-3'); // 1.234-3
formatRut('1234-3'); //  1.234-3
formatRut('12343'); //  1.234-3

formatRut('1.234-3', false); // 1234-3
formatRut('1234-3', false); //  1234-3
formatRut('12343', false); //  1234-3

Get random RUT

This function generates a valid RUT randomly. You can specify the length of the RUT number and whether the generated RUT should be formatted or not.

import { generateRut } from 'rutlib';

generateRut(); // 12.345.678-5 (random)
generateRut(); // 87.654.321-4 (random)

generateRut(7); // 1.234.567-4 (random)
generateRut(7); // 7.654.321-6 (random)

generateRut(9, false); // 123456789-2 (random)
generateRut(9, false); // 987654321-1 (random)

Compare two RUTs

This function compares two RUTs. It takes two RUTs as strings, cleans them using the cleanRut function, validates them using the validateRut function, and then compares them. If both RUTs are valid and are the same, it returns true; otherwise, it returns false. If any of the RUTs is invalid, it will throw an error.

import { compareRuts } from 'rutlib';

try {
  const result = compareRuts('12.345.678-5', '12345678-5');
  console.log(result); // Will print true if the RUTs are the same and valid
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message); // Will print the error message if any of the RUTs is invalid
}
