C) Validator usage

Pass the CLABE number as an 18-character string into clabe.validate(clabeNum).

const clabeNum = '002010077777777771';
const clabeCheck = clabe.validate(clabeNum);
console.log(clabeCheck.error ? '¡Muy mal!' : '¡Que bueno!');

2. Example JSON result for a valid CLABE number

{
   error: false,
   bank:  'Banco Nacional de México',
   city:  'Aguascalientes'
