Simple Password Rules

Have you ever needed to implement password policies for your codebase? This module attempts to simplify that.

import { password, min, max, hasDigit, hasSpecial } from 'simple-password-rules'

const check = password(
    min(8),
    max(16),
    hasDigit(1),
    hasSpecial(1)
)

const errors = check('password1')
if (errors) {
    throw new Error(errors) //  The password provided does not contain enough "special" characters. Needs 1 more. 
}
