A library of string validators and sanitizers.
Server-side usage
Install the library with npm install validator
ES6
Or, import only a subset of the library:
Client-side usage
The library can be loaded either as a standalone script, or through an AMD-compatible loader
The library can also be installed through bower
Strings only
This library validates and sanitizes strings only.
If you're not sure if your input is a string, coerce it using input + ''
. Passing anything other than a string is an error.

Sanitizers
- blacklist(input, chars) - remove characters that appear in the blacklist. The characters are used in a RegExp and so you will need to escape some chars, e.g.
blacklist(input, '\\[\\]')
. - escape(input) - replace
<
,>
,&
,'
,"
and/
with HTML entities. - unescape(input) - replaces HTML encoded entities with
<
,>
,&
,'
,"
and/
. - ltrim(input [, chars]) - trim characters from the left-side of the input.
- normalizeEmail(email [, options]) - canonicalizes an email address.
options
is an object with the following keys and default values:- all_lowercase: true - Transforms the local part (before the @ symbol) of all email addresses to lowercase. Please note that this may violate RFC 5321, which gives providers the possibility to treat the local part of email addresses in a case sensitive way (although in practice most - yet not all - providers don't). The domain part of the email address is always lowercased, as it's case insensitive per RFC 1035.
- gmail_lowercase: true - GMail addresses are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when all_lowercase is set to false. Please note that when all_lowercase is true, GMail addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.
- gmail_remove_dots: true: Removes dots from the local part of the email address, as GMail ignores them (e.g. "john.doe" and "johndoe" are considered equal).
- gmail_remove_subaddress: true: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "foo+bar@gmail.com" becomes "foo@gmail.com").
- gmail_convert_googlemaildotcom: true: Converts addresses with domain @googlemail.com to @gmail.com, as they're equivalent.
- outlookdotcom_lowercase: true - Outlook.com addresses (including Windows Live and Hotmail) are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even whenall_lowercase is set to false. Please note that when all_lowercase is true, Outlook.com addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.
- outlookdotcom_remove_subaddress: true: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "foo+bar@outlook.com" becomes"foo@outlook.com").
- yahoo_lowercase: true - Yahoo Mail addresses are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when all_lowercase is set to false. Please note that whenall_lowercase is true, Yahoo Mail addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.
- yahoo_remove_subaddress: true: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "-" sign (e.g. "foo-bar@yahoo.com" becomes "foo@yahoo.com").
- icloud_lowercase: true - iCloud addresses (including MobileMe) are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when all_lowercase is set to false. Please note that when all_lowercase is true, iCloud addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.
- icloud_remove_subaddress: true: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "foo+bar@icloud.com" becomes "foo@icloud.com").
- rtrim(input [, chars]) - trim characters from the right-side of the input.
- stripLow(input [, keep_new_lines]) - remove characters with a numerical value < 32 and 127, mostly control characters. If
keep_new_lines
istrue
, newline characters are preserved (\n
and\r
, hex0xA
and0xD
). Unicode-safe in JavaScript. - toBoolean(input [, strict]) - convert the input string to a boolean. Everything except for
'0'
,'false'
and''
returnstrue
. In strict mode only'1'
and'true'
returntrue
. - toDate(input) - convert the input string to a date, or
null
if the input is not a date. - toFloat(input) - convert the input string to a float, or
NaN
if the input is not a float. - toInt(input [, radix]) - convert the input string to an integer, or
NaN
if the input is not an integer. - trim(input [, chars]) - trim characters (whitespace by default) from both sides of the input.
- whitelist(input, chars) - remove characters that do not appear in the whitelist. The characters are used in a RegExp and so you will need to escape some chars, e.g.
whitelist(input, '\\[\\]')
.
XSS Sanitization
XSS sanitization was removed from the library in 2d5d6999.
For an alternative, have a look at Yahoo's xss-filters library or at DOMPurify.
