From e60a9c1c10e9607dabec914bc3accc428f4ef9f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: simonkundrik <117163790+simonkundrik@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 10:38:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs(README): sync locale lists with the code The locale lists for isAlpha, isAlphanumeric, isFloat and isIBAN had drifted from what the validators actually support, so 32 working locales weren't discoverable from the docs. - isAlpha / isAlphanumeric: az-AZ, bn-BD, fa, fa-AF, vi-VN - isFloat: bn-BD, bn-IN, el-GR, fa-AF, fa-IR, gu-IN, hi-IN, id-ID, kk-KZ, kn-IN, ku-IQ, ml-IN, or-IN, pa-IN, si-LK, ta-IN, te-IN, vi-VN - isIBAN: DZ, MA Each entry was verified against the exported locale lists and checked at runtime. Docs only, no behaviour change. --- README.md | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 0c9679f2e..bdca74a31 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -88,8 +88,8 @@ Validator | Description **equals(str, comparison)** | check if the string matches the comparison. **isAbaRouting(str)** | check if the string is an ABA routing number for US bank account / cheque. **isAfter(str [, options])** | check if the string is a date that is after the specified date.
