jQuery.payment

A general purpose library for building credit card forms, validating inputs and formatting numbers.

For example, you can make a input act like a credit card field (with number formatting, and length restriction):

$('input.cc-num').formatCardNumber();

Then, when say the payment form is submitted, you can validate the card number on the client-side like so:

var valid = $.validateCardNumber($('input.cc-num').val());

if ( !valid ) {
  alert('Your card is not valid!');
  return false;
}

You can find a full demo here.

Supported card types are:

• Visa
• MasterCard
• American Express
• Discover
• JCB
• Diners Club

API

$.fn.formatCardNumber()

Formats card numbers:

• Including a space between every 4 digits
• Restricts input to numbers
• Limits to 16 numbers
• American Express formatting support
• Adds a class of the card type (i.e. 'visa') to the input

Example:

$('input.cc-num').formatCardNumber();

$.fn.formatCardExpiry()

Formats card expiry:

• Includes a / between the month and year
• Restricts input to numbers
• Restricts length

Example:

$('input.cc-exp').formatCardExpiry();

$.fn.formatCardCVC()

Formats card CVC:

• Restricts length to 4 numbers
• Restricts input to numbers

Example:

$('input.cc-cvc').formatCardCVC();

$.fn.restrictNumeric()

General numeric input restriction.

Example:

$('data-numeric').restrictNumeric();

$.validateCardNumber(number)

Validates a card number:

• Validates numbers
• Validates Luhn algorithm
• Validates length

Example:

$.validateCardNumber('4242 4242 4242 4242'); //=> true

$.validateCardExpiry(month, year)

Validates a card expiry:

• Validates numbers
• Validates in the future
• Supports year shorthand

Example:

$.validateCardExpiry('05', '20'); //=> true
$.validateCardExpiry('05', '2015'); //=> true
$.validateCardExpiry('05', '05'); //=> false

$.validateCardCVC(cvc, type)

Validates a card CVC:

• Validates number
• Validates length to 4

Example:

$.validateCardCVC('123'); //=> true
$.validateCardCVC('123', 'amex'); //=> false
$.validateCardCVC('1234', 'amex'); //=> true
$.validateCardCVC('12344'); //=> false

$.cardType(number)

Returns a card type. Either:

• visa
• mastercard
• amex
• dinersclub

The function will return null if the card type can't be determined.

Example:

$.cardType('4242 4242 4242 4242'); //=> 'visa'

$.cardExpiryVal(string) and $.fn.cardExpiryVal()

Parses a credit card expiry in the form of MM/YYYY, returning an object containing the month and year. Shorthand years, such as 13 are also supported (and converted into the longhand, e.g. 2013).

$.cardExpiryVal('03 / 2025'); //=> {month: 3: year: 2025}
$.cardExpiryVal('05 / 04'); //=> {month: 5, year: 2004}
$('input.cc-exp').cardExpiryVal() //=> {month: 4, year: 2020}

This function doesn't do any validation of the month or year, use $.validateCardExpiry(month, year) for that.

Run tests

Run mocha --compilers coffee:coffee-script

Autocomplete recommendations

We recommend you turn autocomplete on for credit card forms, except for the CVC field. You can do this by setting the autocomplete attribute:

<form autocomplete="on">
  <input class="cc-number">
  <input class="cc-cvc" autocomplete="off">
</form>

You should also mark up your fields using the Autocomplete Types spec. These are respected by a number of browsers, including Chrome.

<input type="text" class="cc-number" pattern="\d*" autocompletetype="cc-number" placeholder="Card number" required>

Set autocompletetype to cc-number for credit card numbers, cc-exp for credit card expiry and cc-csc for the CVC (security code).

Mobile recommendations

We recommend you set the pattern attribute which will cause the numeric keyboard to be displayed on mobiles:

<input class="cc-number" pattern="\d*">

You may have to turn off HTML5 validation (using the novalidate form attribute) when using this pattern, as it won't match space formatting.
