Simple Validation Library

A lightweight .NET library for validating emails, region-aware phone numbers, dates, and custom regex-based rules — with clear, typed exceptions instead of boolean guesswork.

Features

  • Email validation — IsValidEmail
  • Phone number validation with regional rules (USA, UK, Spain, Ireland) — IsValidPhoneNumber
  • Postal code validation with regional rules (USA, UK, Spain, Ireland) — IsValidPostalCode
  • Date validation — IsValidDate
  • URL validation (http/https) — IsValidUrl
  • Credit card number validation (Luhn checksum) — IsValidCreditCardNumber
  • Password strength validation (configurable rules) — IsValidPassword
  • IP address validation (IPv4 and IPv6) — IsValidIPAddress
  • Numeric range validation — IsInRange
  • String length validation — IsValidLength
  • Custom validations — register your own named regex rules via IsValidCustom
  • Typed exceptions (ValidationException, UnsupportedRegionException) for precise error handling

Installation

dotnet add package SimpleValidationLibrary

Usage

using ValidationLibrary;

// Email
Validator.IsValidEmail("user@example.com"); // returns true, or throws Validator.ValidationException

// Phone number (region-aware)
Validator.IsValidPhoneNumber("612345678", RegionEnum.Region.Spain);

// Postal code (region-aware)
Validator.IsValidPostalCode("28001", RegionEnum.Region.Spain);

// Date
Validator.IsValidDate("2026-01-15");

// URL
Validator.IsValidUrl("https://example.com");

// Credit card number (Luhn checksum)
Validator.IsValidCreditCardNumber("4111 1111 1111 1111");

// Password strength (configurable)
Validator.IsValidPassword("Str0ng!Pass");
Validator.IsValidPassword("simplepass", minLength: 6, requireUppercase: false, requireDigit: false, requireSpecialChar: false);

// IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
Validator.IsValidIPAddress("192.168.1.1");

// Numeric range
Validator.IsInRange(5, 1, 10);

// String length
Validator.IsValidLength("hello", 1, 10);

// Custom rule
Validator.CustomValidations["digits-only"] = @"^\d+$";
Validator.IsValidCustom("12345", "digits-only");

Handling validation errors

try
{
    Validator.IsValidEmail("not-an-email");
}
catch (Validator.ValidationException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); // "Invalid email."
}

Complete rewrite of the legacy, deprecated 5.0.0 release: migrated to .NET 10, fixed PackageId resolving to an empty string, aligned namespaces, added full test coverage, and added IsValidPostalCode (region-aware), IsValidUrl, IsValidCreditCardNumber (Luhn check), IsValidPassword, IsValidIPAddress, IsInRange, and IsValidLength.
