Hello. This a simple validator for text input containing Network Ports made with Typescript.
Main use is for validating user input for allowing/denying certain ports on a network security equipment interfacing system.
Current funcionality:
- Checks if text inputted is a valid port or "any" string.
- Checks if port is within valid range - 1-65535.
- Accepts valid port ranges - within valid port range and start is lesser than end.
- Accepts combinations of single ports and port ranges. Ie: "1010-2020 20 3030-4040 50"
- Refuses repeated ports or port ranges. Ie: "8080 8080", "10-20 30 10-20".
- Refuses common typos that may happen when dealing with such text.
- It`s somewhat overly commented for better understanding.
Known issues: Accepts overlapping ranges, Ie: "15 10-20". Will look at this soon.
Includes some tests made with Jest:
