Unified Utilities (CPF / CNPJ)

These functions dynamically detect whether the input is a CPF or CNPJ and apply the corresponding logic.

cpfCnpjValidate

Validates either a CPF or a CNPJ (including alphanumeric CNPJ).

import { cpfCnpjValidate } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

cpfCnpjValidate('589.831.040-15'); // true (CPF)
cpfCnpjValidate('12.345.678/0001-95'); // true (CNPJ)
cpfCnpjValidate('invalid-value'); // false

---

cpfCnpjFormat

Formats a raw string into a standard CPF or CNPJ mask based on length.

import { cpfCnpjFormat } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

cpfCnpjFormat('12345678900'); // 123.456.789-00
cpfCnpjFormat('12345678000195'); // 12.345.678/0001-95

---

cpfCnpjClean

Removes punctuation and symbols from both CPF and CNPJ formatted strings.

import { cpfCnpjClean } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

cpfCnpjClean('123.456.789-00'); // 12345678900
cpfCnpjClean('12.345.678/0001-95'); // 12345678000195

---

CPF Specific Utilities

validateCPF

import { validateCPF } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

validateCPF('589.831.040-15'); // true
validateCPF('123.456.789-00'); // false

formatCPF

import { formatCPF } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

formatCPF('12345678900'); // 123.456.789-00

cleanCPF

import { cleanCPF } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

cleanCPF('123.456.789-00'); // 12345678900

---

CNPJ Specific Utilities

validateCNPJ

Supports numeric, alphanumeric, and formatted variants.

import { validateCNPJ } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

validateCNPJ('12.345.678/0001-95'); // true
validateCNPJ('11.ANE.A76/0001-75'); // true

formatCNPJ

import { formatCNPJ } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

formatCNPJ('12345678000195'); // 12.345.678/0001-95
formatCNPJ('11ANEA76000175'); // 11.ANE.A76/0001-75

cleanCNPJ

import { cleanCNPJ } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

cleanCNPJ('11.ANE.A76/0001-75'); // 11ANEA76000175

---

class-validator Decorator

IsCpfCnpjValid

Decorator for validating CPF or CNPJ fields inside DTOs.

import { IsCpfCnpjValid } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

class CreateUserDto {
  @IsCpfCnpjValid()
  document: string;
}

---

class-transformer Decorator

CpfCnpjTransform

Automatically pads and transforms CPF or CNPJ values during data instantiation.

import 'reflect-metadata';
import { CpfCnpjTransform } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

class PaymentDto {
  tpPessoaPagdr: string;

  @CpfCnpjTransform()
  documento: string;
}

---

NestJS Example

Combines @nestjs/common decorators with @gfinnovation/br-validations for data transfer objects (DTOs) and automatic payload validation/transformation:

import { Controller, Post, Body, UsePipes, ValidationPipe } from '@nestjs/common';
import { IsCpfCnpjValid, CpfCnpjTransform } from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

export class CreateUserDto {
  tpPessoaPagdr: string;

  @CpfCnpjTransform()
  @IsCpfCnpjValid()
  documento: string;
}

@Controller('users')
export class UsersController {
  @Post()
  @UsePipes(new ValidationPipe({ transform: true }))
  create(@Body() createUserDto: CreateUserDto) {
    return {
      message: 'User validated and formatted successfully',
      data: createUserDto,
    };
  }
}

---

NestJS Pipe Example

This package does not provide a NestJS pipe implementation.

If you need to normalize and validate route parameters, create a custom pipe using the validation functions exported by this package.

import {
  ArgumentMetadata,
  BadRequestException,
  Injectable,
  PipeTransform,
} from '@nestjs/common';

import {
  validateCPF,
  validateCNPJ,
  cpfCnpjClean,
} from '@gfinnovation/br-validations';

@Injectable()
export class CpfCnpjPipeTransform implements PipeTransform {
  transform(
    value: string | number | null | undefined,
    metadata: ArgumentMetadata,
  ): string {
    if (value == null) {
      throw new BadRequestException('CPF/CNPJ is required');
    }

    value = cpfCnpjClean(String(value).trim().toUpperCase());

    const isNumeric = /^\d+$/.test(value);

    const normalized = isNumeric
      ? value.length <= 11
        ? value.padStart(11, '0')
        : value.padStart(14, '0')
      : value;

    if (normalized.length === 11 && !validateCPF(normalized)) {
      throw new BadRequestException('Invalid CPF');
    }

    if (normalized.length === 14 && !validateCNPJ(normalized)) {
      throw new BadRequestException('Invalid CNPJ');
    }

    return normalized;
  }
}

Usage:

@Get(':document')
findByDocument(
  @Param('document', CpfCnpjPipeTransform)
  document: string,
) {
  return document;
}

---

Build

npm run build

---

Test

npm test

---

TypeScript Configuration

If you use decorators, enable the following in your tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true
  }
}

---

Troubleshooting & pnpm Support

Because pnpm handles nested node_modules strictly using hard links, it will not automatically resolve optional peer dependencies required by `decorators unless they are explicitly installed in the root project.

Missing Peer Dependencies Error

If you use @IsCpfCnpjValid or @CpfCnpjTransform and experience runtime errors or type failures using pnpm, verify you have installed the required validation peer dependencies:

pnpm add class-validator class-transformer reflect-metadata

Decorator Metadata Issues

If NestJS fails to inject or read your DTO types during request validation, ensure your .npmrc or project configurations do not strictly isolate the metadata context, and that reflect-metadata is imported at the very top of your application entry point (main.ts):

import 'reflect-metadata'; // Must be the first line
import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
