postcode

Small package for validating postal codes. While the validation process does not guarantee that the postcode actually exists, it does guarantee that the format of the provided input is valid.

The reason for creating this package is that there is no good regular expression for validating postal codes, and even if it existed, it would have been huge and inefficient.

Installation

go get github.com/adrg/postcode

Usage

package main

import (
	"github.com/adrg/postcode"
)

func main() {
	if err := postcode.Validate("10007"); err != nil {
        // the postcode is not valid
        // treat error
	}
}
