I am pleased to announce a new RubyForge project I call CreditCard (
http://rubyforge.org/projects/creditcard/ ). This is a small hint of
what is to come, a full payment processing gateway for Ruby. To try it
out, type:
gem install creditcard
These subroutines tell you whether a credit card number is
self-consistent using known algorithms for credit card numbers. All
non-integer values are removed from the string before parsing so that
you don’t have to worry about the format of the string.
Here are some example uses.
"5276 4400 6542 1319".creditcard?
=> true
puts 5276440065421319.creditcard_type
=> "mastercard"
"5276440065421319".creditcard? "visa"
=> false
"5276-4400-6542-1319".creditcard? "mastercard"
=> true
