trackParser
trackParser is a tiny credit card or magstripe card parser that reads in the raw string from the card and converts it to usable data. This can be used to charge a credit card as well as just read what is inside random magnetic stripe cards. For more information how magnetic cards work as well as the 3 different types of tracks available for the cards, visit This Wikipedia Article On The Magnetic Stripe Card
NOTE ************************************
This library DOES support track 1, track 2, AND track 3 though track 3 is rarely used
Installation
Currently it is only available through npm or right here on github
$ npm install trackparser

const trackParser = require('trackparser').trackParser
const trackParserSync = require('trackparser').trackParserSync
