pnpm

pnpm add ngx-iban-validator

yarn

yarn add ngx-iban-validator

Basic usage

You can use validateIBAN function independently from any forms.

Value can be passed as part of object in this case validation flow will be the same as for form validation:

• If IBAN is valid as result of validation null is returned.

• If IBAN is invalid and some of the checks fail IBANValidationResult object is returned containing more info about error.

const ibanIsInvalid =
  validateIBAN({
    value: 'AL35202111090000000001234567',
  }) !== null;

Value can be passed as a string:

• For valid and invalid IBAN IBANValidationResult object is returned

const ibanIsInvalid = validateIBAN("AL35202111090000000001234567").ibanInvalid;

NodeJS

const ibanValidator = require('ngx-iban-validator');
const ibanIsInvalid = ibanValidator.validateIBAN(
  'BA393385804800211234'
).ibanInvalid;

Error Response

• If IBAN is valid as result of validation null is returned.

• If IBAN is invalid and some of the checks fail IBANValidationResult object is returned containing more info about error.

export interface IBANValidationResult {
  ibanInvalid: boolean;
  error: IBANError | null;
}

export interface IBANError {
  countryUnsupported: boolean;
  codeLengthInvalid: boolean;
  patternInvalid: boolean;
}

Error object contains more details about validation error. You can display errors easily as with any other validator.

Use as a form validator

Angular

Import validateIBAN function from ngx-iban-validator package into your component file. Add validateIBAN to your form validators array.

import { Component, inject } from '@angular/core';
import { NgIf } from '@angular/common';
import {
  FormBuilder,
  FormGroup,
  ReactiveFormsModule,
  Validators,
} from '@angular/forms';

import { validateIBAN } from 'ngx-iban-validator';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NgIf, ReactiveFormsModule],
  template: `
