ip-wiki — IP Address Utility Library for Wikipedia and NodeJS

ip-wiki is a JavaScript library written in ES6 that provides classes for manipulating IP and CIDR addresses. As the name suggests, it was developed for use on Wikipedia (primarily front-end), but it also works as a Node.js module in back-end environments.

• API documentation is avaiable!
• TypeScript-compatible!
• No external dependencies!

Installation

npm install ip-wiki
Copy

If you only need type definitions:

npm install -D ip-wiki
Copy

Usage

NodeJS

In CommonJS:

const { IP, IPUtil } = require('ip-wiki');
Copy

In ES modules:

import { IP, IPUtil } from 'ip-wiki';
Copy

Then:

Wikipedia

Load and import ja:MediaWiki:Gadget-ip-wiki.js. In this case, this package is for Intellisense. (You may also want to install types-mediawiki as a dev dependency.)

/**
 * @returns {JQueryPromise<import('ip-wiki')>}
 */
function getIpWiki() {
	const gadget = 'ext.gadget.ip-wiki';
	return mw.loader.using(gadget).then((req) => req(gadget));
}

getIpWiki().then((ipWiki) => {
	const { IP, IPUtil } = ipWiki;
	// ...
});
Copy

If a module named ip-wiki is not defined in the local Gadgets-definition, you may need to cross-wiki-load the gadget:

/**
 * @returns {JQueryPromise<import('ip-wiki')>}
 */
function getIpWikiX() {
	const gadget = 'ext.gadget.ip-wiki';
	return mw.loader.getScript('https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?modules=' + gadget).then(() => {
		return mw.loader.using(gadget).then((req) => req(gadget));
	});
}
Copy

Then:

Class showcases

This library has two main classes: the IP class and the static IPUtil class:

• Use the IP class when you need to repeatedly manipulate the same IP address. This is more efficient than using IPUtil, as it avoids re-parsing the IP string.
• Use the IPUtil class for one-off manipulations (i.e. when you don’t need to instantiate a class).

Class: IP

Suppose you want to retrieve the indexes of elements in the ipArr array that match the IP address 192.168.1.1:

const ip = IP.newFromText('192.168.1.1');
if (!ip) {
	return;
}
const ipArr = [
	'192.168.1.1/32',
	'::1',
	'192.168.001.001'
];
const indexes = ipArr.reduce(/** @param {number[]} acc */ (acc, ipStr, i) => {
	if (ip.equals(ipStr)) { // Not IPUtil.equals('192.168.1.1', ipStr)
		acc.push(i);
	}
	return acc;
}, []);
console.log(indexes); // [ 0, 2 ]

Copy

Class: IPUtil

Suppose you want to filter ipArr to include only IPv6 addresses and CIDRs:

const ipArr = [
	'192.168.1.1/32',
	'::1',
	'192.168.001.001'
];
const filtered = ipArr.filter((ip) => IPUtil.isIPv6(ip, true));
console.log(filtered); // [ '::1' ]
Copy

Suppose you want to extract an array of IPv6 CIDRs in their sanitized form:

const ipArr = [
	'foo',
	'192.168.1.0',
	'fd12:3456:789a:1::1',
	'fd12:3456:789a:0:0:0:0:0/48',
	'fd12:3456:789a:1::/64'
];
const ipv6Cidrs = ipArr.reduce(/** @param {string[]} acc */ (acc, ipStr) => {
	const sanitized = IPUtil.sanitize(ipStr, false, (version, isCidr) => version === 6 && isCidr);
	if (sanitized) {
		acc.push(sanitized);
	}
	return acc;
}, []);
console.log(ipv6Cidrs); // [ 'fd12:3456:789a:0:0:0:0:0/48', 'fd12:3456:789a:1:0:0:0:0/64' ]
Copy
