NRIC Validator

An Utility to validate Malaysia NRIC

I decided to publish this as public library after using this library for multiple Angular projects from Angular 5 to Angular 11.

If you have any issue to use this library. Please creating issues here.

Tech stacks

• Javascript
• Ava

Install

npm i nric-validator

Features

• check NRIC valid
• get birth date
• get gender
• get age

Benefits

• Small bundle size
• Work with all frameworks
• Simple to use

Usage

It is simple to use the library, just import it directly to the typescript component

import NRIC from "nric-validator";

And use like this:

Check NRIC valid

Valid format is YYMMDD-PB-###G.

YYMMDD, the person's date of birth in the ISO 8601:2000 format; for example, a person born on 16 September 1963, would have 630916 as the first six digits of their identity card. A person born on 1 January 1900 would have 000101 as the first digits, same with a person born on 1 January 2000.

PB, the seventh and eighth digit, based on the place of birth of the person, which will be referred from the birth certificate upon application of the MyKad.

###, the ninth through eleventh digit is the generic special number generated by the National Registration Department of Malaysia's computer system.

G, the 12th digit represents the gender of the person. The odd numbers for G denote male while the even numbers denote female.

• if valid return true
• if invalid return Error('Invalid value number format') || false

const nric = new NRIC(value);
nric.isValid

Get birth date

• if valid return birthday Fri Feb 24 1956 00:00:00 GMT+0730 (Malaysia Time)
• if invalid return Error('Invalid value number format') || false

const nric = new NRIC(value);
nric.birthDate // Fri Feb 24 1956 00:00:00 GMT+0730 (Malaysia Time)

const nric = new NRIC(value);
nric.gender // F (Female) or M (Male)
