IsUen

Simple gem to check whether a UEN has a valid format and date.

Format is obtained from https://www.uen.gov.sg/ueninternet/faces/pages/admin/aboutUEN.jspx, last updated/reviewed on 08 Jan 2018.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'is_uen'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install is_uen

Usage

IsUen.uen?('12345678A') # business? || company? || new_uen?
IsUen.business?('12345678A')
IsUen.company?('123456789A')
IsUen.new_uen?('T12GB1234X')

The library also provides convenience functions to check for a specific entity type (obtain the full list here).

IsUen.ll?('T12LL1234X') # returns true
IsUen.lp?('T12AA1234X') # returns false

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Caveats

This gem does not verify the existence of UENs.
