Test whether a string contains only alphanumeric characters.
npm install @stdlib/assert-is-alphanumeric
Alternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
script
tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesm
branch. - If you are using Deno, visit the
deno
branch. - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umd
branch.
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
var isAlphaNumeric = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-alphanumeric' );
Tests whether a string contains only alphanumeric characters.
var bool = isAlphaNumeric( 'abc0123456789' );
// returns true
- For non-string values, the function returns
false
. - Alphanumeric is defined as the characters
a-zA-Z
and the numeric characters0-9
.
var isAlphaNumeric = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-alphanumeric' );
var out = isAlphaNumeric( 'abs0123456789' );
// returns true
out = isAlphaNumeric( '0xffffff' );
// returns true
out = isAlphaNumeric( '' );
// returns false
out = isAlphaNumeric( 123 );
// returns false
To use the module as a general utility, install the module globally
npm install -g @stdlib/assert-is-alphanumeric
Usage: is-alphanumeric [options] [<string>]
Options:
-h, --help Print this message.
-V, --version Print the package version.
--split sep Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.
-
If the split separator is a regular expression, ensure that the
split
option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.# Not escaped... $ echo -n $'beep\n01abc23456789' | is-alphanumeric --split /\r?\n/ # Escaped... $ echo -n $'beep\n01abc23456789' | is-alphanumeric --split /\\r?\\n/
-
The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.
$ is-alphanumeric 01abc23456789
true
To use as a standard stream,
$ echo -n '0123456789' | is-alphanumeric
true
By default, when used as a standard stream, the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the split
option.
$ echo -n 'beep\t01abc23456789' | is-alphanumeric --split '\t'
false
true
