ip-address
ip-address
is a library for validating and manipulating IPv4 and IPv6
addresses in JavaScript.
Documentation
Documentation is available at ip-address.js.org.
Examples
var Address6 = require('ip-address').Address6;
var address = new Address6('2001:0:ce49:7601:e866:efff:62c3:fffe');
address.isValid(); // true
var teredo = address.inspectTeredo();
teredo.client4; // '157.60.0.1'
Features
- Parsing of all IPv6 notations
- Parsing of IPv6 addresses and ports from URLs with
Address6.fromURL(url)
- Validity checking
- Decoding of the Teredo
information
in an address - Whether one address is a valid subnet of another
- What special properties a given address has (multicast prefix, unique
local address prefix, etc.) - Number of subnets of a certain size in a given address
- Display methods
- Hex, binary, and decimal
- Canonical form
- Correct form
- IPv4-compatible (i.e.
::ffff:192.168.0.1
)
- Works in node and the browser (with browserify)
- ~1,600 test cases
