Installation

Via Composer

composer require wasim/pk-cnic-validator

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/MrWasimAbbasi/pk-cnic-validator.git
cd pk-cnic-validator

1. Install dependencies:

composer install

Usage

Basic Validation

use PkCnicValidator\CnicValidator;

$validator = new CnicValidator();

// Validate CNIC with dashes
$isValid = $validator->isValid('12345-1234567-1'); // true

// Validate CNIC without dashes
$isValid = $validator->isValid('1234512345671'); // true

// Validate invalid CNIC
$isValid = $validator->isValid('invalid'); // false

Specific Format Validation

// Check if CNIC is in dash format
$hasDashes = $validator->isValidWithDashes('12345-1234567-1'); // true
$hasDashes = $validator->isValidWithDashes('1234512345671'); // false

// Check if CNIC is in numeric format
$isNumeric = $validator->isValidWithoutDashes('1234512345671'); // true
$isNumeric = $validator->isValidWithoutDashes('12345-1234567-1'); // false

Formatting

// Format CNIC to include dashes
$withDashes = $validator->formatWithDashes('1234512345671'); // '12345-1234567-1'

// Format CNIC to remove dashes
$withoutDashes = $validator->formatWithoutDashes('12345-1234567-1'); // '1234512345671'

// Invalid CNIC returns null
$formatted = $validator->formatWithDashes('invalid'); // null

Information Extraction

$info = $validator->extractInfo('12345-1234567-1');

// Returns:
[
    'cnic' => '12345-1234567-1',
    'cnic_with_dashes' => '12345-1234567-1',
    'cnic_without_dashes' => '1234512345671',
    'province_code' => '1',
    'district_code' => '12',
    'family_number' => '345',
    'serial_number' => '1234567',
    'check_digit' => '1'
]
