A Swift implementation of the Luhn algorithm for validating debit/credit card numbers and identifying card types.
SwiftLuhn is a Swift library that implements the Luhn algorithm for validating debit and credit card numbers. It helps developers verify card number integrity and identify card types (e.g., Visa, Mastercard) before processing payments in iOS or macOS applications.
iOS and macOS developers building apps that handle payment card input, such as e-commerce, finance, or booking applications.
It provides a lightweight, Swift-native solution for card validation without external dependencies, with clear error handling and support for major card issuers.
Debit/Credit card validation port of the Luhn Algorithm in Swift
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Offers both class methods and String extensions, making it seamless to use in Swift code, as shown in the README with simple try-catch blocks and direct string validation.
Implements the standard Luhn algorithm with specific CardError exceptions, ensuring reliable detection of invalid card numbers to catch input errors before processing.
Identifies major card issuers like Visa, Mastercard, and American Express from the number, helping in user interface feedback and data handling.
Can be installed via CocoaPods or Carthage without external libraries, keeping the project footprint small and focused on core validation.
The README explicitly states the repository is no longer maintained, meaning no bug fixes, updates, or support for newer Swift versions, posing a risk for long-term use.
Only supports a fixed list of card types and may not include newer or regional issuers, potentially leading to false negatives in validation for modern payment methods.
HEAD is written in Swift 4, and users must revert to older tags for Swift 3 compatibility, indicating potential issues with integration in modern projects using Swift 5 or later.
