Description:

vin decoder

vin-decoder-dart #


A VIN decoding, validation, and generation library for Dart.
vin_decoder provides a simple decoding and validation library for Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) based on
ISO 3779:2009 and World Manufacturer Identifiers (WMIs) based on ISO 3780:2009. It further supports generation of
synthetic VINs derived from valid WMIs.
The decoder can be used standalone in an offline mode (the default behaviour, as per earlier versions of the API), or
can be further enriched by querying additional VIN information from the NHTSA Vehicle API, such as the precise
make, model, and vehicle type in extended mode. Note that synthetic VINs will fail lookup in the NHTSA API, and should
only be used for experimentation.
Usage #
A simple usage example:
import 'package:vin_decoder/vin_decoder.dart';

void main() async {
var vin = VIN(number: 'WP0ZZZ99ZTS392124', extended: true);

print('WMI: ${vin.wmi}');
print('VDS: ${vin.vds}');
print('VIS: ${vin.vis}');

print("Model year is " + vin.modelYear());
print("Serial number is " + vin.serialNumber());
print("Assembly plant is " + vin.assemblyPlant());
print("Manufacturer is " + vin.getManufacturer());
print("Year is " + vin.getYear().toString());
print("Region is " + vin.getRegion());
print("VIN string is " + vin.toString());

// The following calls are to the NHTSA DB, and are carried out asynchronously
var make = await vin.getMakeAsync();
print("Make is ${make}");

var model = await vin.getModelAsync();
print("Model is ${model}");

var type = await vin.getVehicleTypeAsync();
print("Type is ${type}");

var generated = VINGenerator().generate();
print('Randomly Generated VIN is ${generated}');
