court-utils

Indian Court Utils

A simple utils functions for interacting with Indian courts data.

Why?

I have created several microservices which works with data coming from several courts of India. Instead of writing/copying function again and again. I thought it would be easier to create a package and import it everywhere. That would be easier to manage and actual code will be more readable.

Installation

npm install court-utils

Usage

import { isFilingNumber } from 'court-utils'

Methods

isFilingNumber(number_in_string)

returns a boolean whether given string is filing number or not

isCaseNumber(number_in_string)

returns a boolean whether given string is case number number or not

formatCINumber(number_in_string)

While showing the CI number they shows like GJHC01-123456-123456 but internally they use it like GJHC01123456123456 so this method returns that.

formatOriginalCaseNumber(number_in_string)

case number usually has / in them like R/SCA/12319/2020 some times it confuses language because / is being used as path navigator in Linux. let's say you are storing a file at a location using path if you add case number like the example then it will create 3 folders R, SCA and 12319 and store the data with filename 2020.

so better to swap those / slashes to - dashes. That's what this method does.

getInternalCaseNumber(number_in_string)

takes something like R/SCA/12319/2020 and returns 202100123192020 which is usable internally to communicate further with court's data.
