CreditCardValidations

Gem Version License

Gem adds validator to check whether or not a given number actually falls within the ranges of possible numbers prior to performing such verification, and, as such, CreditCardValidations simply verifies that the credit card number provided is well-formed.

ActiveModel support

only for certain brands

  include ActiveModel::Validations
  validates :number, credit_card_number: {brands: [:amex, :maestro]}

for all known brands

validates :number, presence: true, credit_card_number: true

Examples using CreditCardValidations::Detector class

number = "4111111111111111"
detector = CreditCardValidations::Detector.new(number)
detector.brand #:visa
detector.visa? #true
detector.valid?(:mastercard,:maestro) #false
detector.valid?(:visa, :mastercard) #true
detector.issuer_category  #"Banking and financial"

Also You can add your own brand rules to detect other credit card brands/types

passing name,length(integer/array of integers) and prefix(string/array of strings) Example

CreditCardValidations.add_brand(:voyager, {length: 15, prefixes: '86'})
voyager_test_card_number = '869926275400212'
CreditCardValidations::Detector.new(voyager_test_card_number).brand #:voyager
CreditCardValidations::Detector.new(voyager_test_card_number).voyager? #true

Remove brands also supported

CreditCardValidations::Detector.delete_brand(:maestro)

Check luhn

CreditCardValidations::Detector.new(@credit_card_number).valid_luhn?
#or
CreditCardValidations::Luhn.valid?(@credit_card_number)

Generate credit card numbers that pass validation

CreditCardValidations::Factory.random(:amex)
# => "348051773827666"
CreditCardValidations::Factory.random(:maestro)
# => "6010430241237266856"
