SsnValidation
SsnValidation is a very basic ruby gem that can validate a US Social Security Number (SSN) or ITIN. It returns a hash of error keys/messages that can be used within ActiveRecord errors or otherwise to ensure syntactically valid SSNs.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ssn_validation'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ssn_validation
Usage
❯ irb
> require 'ssn_validation'
> SsnValidation::Ssn.validate('abc')
=> {:nine_digits=>"SSN value is not 9 digits", :non_digits=>"SSN value contains non-digits"}
> SsnValidation::Ssn.validate(123006789)
=> {:zero_group=>"SSN value contains zeros in group number xxx-00-xxxx"}
> SsnValidation::Ssn.validate(nil)
=> {:nine_digits=>"SSN value is not 9 digits"}
> SsnValidation::Ssn.validate('')
=> {:nine_digits=>"SSN value is not 9 digits"}
