SecId

Validate securities identification numbers with ease!

Check-digit calculation is also available.

Currently supported standards: ISIN, CUSIP, SEDOL

Work in progress: IBAN.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sec_id', '~> 4.0'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sec_id

Usage

Base API

Base API has 4 main methods which can be used both on class level and on instance level:

• valid? - never raises any errors, always returns true or false, numbers without the check-digit will return false

  # class level
  SecId::ISIN.valid?('US5949181045') # => true
  SecId::ISIN.valid?('US594918104')  # => false
  
  # instance level
  isin = SecId::ISIN.new('US5949181045')
  isin.valid? # => true

• valid_format? - never raises any errors, always returns true or false, numbers without the check-digit but in valid format will return true

  # class level
  SecId::ISIN.valid_format?('US5949181045') # => true
  SecId::ISIN.valid_format?('US594918104') # => true
  
  # instance level
  isin = SecId::ISIN.new('US594918104')
  isin.valid_format? # => true

• restore! - restores check-digit and returns the full number, raises an error if number's format is invalid and thus check-digit is impossible to calculate

  # class level
  SecId::ISIN.restore!('US594918104') # => 'US5949181045'
  
  # instance level
  isin = SecId::ISIN.new('US5949181045')
  isin.restore! # => 'US5949181045'

• check_digit and calculate_check_digit - these are the same, but the former is used at class level for bravity, and the latter is used at instance level for clarity; it calculates and returns the check-digit if the number is valid and raises an error otherwise.

  # class level
  SecId::ISIN.check_digit('US594918104') # => 5
  
  # instance level
  isin = SecId::ISIN.new('US594918104')
  isin.calculate_check_digit # => 5
  isin.check_digit # => nil

  ❗ Please note that isin.check_digit returns nil because #check_digit at instance level represents original check-digit of the number passed to new, which in this example is missing and thus it's nil.
