About MyKad
-----------

[](#about-mykad)

> The Government Multi-Purpose Smart Card Project (MPSC) or MyKad is part of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC Malaysia) initiative.

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

One of the most annoying thing when dealing with user records is when they entered wrong MyKad/MyKid number. This package helps reduce the burden to deal with invalid input by users.

This package will validate MyKad/MyKid number to make sure:

- Contains numbers only
- Valid length
- Valid date of birth
- Valid state/country code

***Note:***

Any other unnecessary characters from the input will be removed, including dashes.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require akukoder/mykad-validator

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use AkuKoder\MyKadValidator\Validator;

$validator = new Validator;

// This will return false
if ($validator->validate('982404-06-5883')) {

}

// This will return false
if ($validator->validate('982404-06-83')) {

}

// This will return false
if ($validator->validate('980404-00-5335')) {

}

// This will return false
if ($validator->validate('9804AA-00-5335')) {

}

// This will return true
if ($validator->validate('980404-06-5335')) {

}
```
