Initializing

Each feature is a property:

var hetu = require('fin-id').hetu;

See examples/ for full examples.

Hetu

The call hetu.check(hetu) returns true if the argument is valid ID:

if(hetu.check('010171-1234')) console.log("valid");
else console.log("invalid");

The call hetu.parse(hetu) returns an object with additional information:

var parsed = hetu.parse('010171-1234');
if(parsed) {
	console.log("birthday is " + parsed.date());  // Fri, 01 Jan 1971
	console.log("sex is " + parsed.sex());        // 'female'
}
