**isEmpty(str [, options])** | check if the string has a length of zero.
`options` is an object which defaults to `{ ignore_whitespace: false }`.
**isEthereumAddress(str)** | check if the string is an [Ethereum][Ethereum] address. Does not validate address checksums.
**isFloat(str [, options])** | check if the string is a float.
`options` is an object which can contain the keys `min`, `max`, `gt`, and/or `lt` to validate the float is within boundaries (e.g. `{ min: 7.22, max: 9.55 }`) it also has `locale` as an option.
`min` and `max` are equivalent to 'greater or equal' and 'less or equal', respectively while `gt` and `lt` are their strict counterparts.
`locale` determines the decimal separator and is one of `['ar', 'ar-AE', 'ar-BH', 'ar-DZ', 'ar-EG', 'ar-IQ', 'ar-JO', 'ar-KW', 'ar-LB', 'ar-LY', 'ar-MA', 'ar-QA', 'ar-QM', 'ar-SA', 'ar-SD', 'ar-SY', 'ar-TN', 'ar-YE', 'bg-BG', 'cs-CZ', 'da-DK', 'de-DE', 'en-AU', 'en-GB', 'en-HK', 'en-IN', 'en-NZ', 'en-US', 'en-ZA', 'en-ZM', 'eo', 'es-ES', 'fr-CA', 'fr-FR', 'hu-HU', 'it-IT', 'nb-NO', 'nl-NL', 'nn-NO', 'pl-PL', 'pt-BR', 'pt-PT', 'ru-RU', 'sl-SI', 'sr-RS', 'sr-RS@latin', 'sv-SE', 'tr-TR', 'uk-UA']`. Locale list is `validator.isFloatLocales`.
-**isFQDN(str [, options])** | check if the string is a fully qualified domain name (e.g. domain.com).
`options` is an object which defaults to `{ require_tld: true, allow_underscores: false, allow_trailing_dot: false, allow_numeric_tld: false, allow_wildcard: false, ignore_max_length: false }`. If `allow_wildcard` is set to true, the validator will allow domain starting with `*.` (e.g. `*.example.com` or `*.shop.example.com`).

`options` is an object which defaults to `{ require_tld: true, allow_underscores: false, allow_trailing_dot: false, allow_numeric_tld: false, allow_wildcard: false, ignore_max_length: false }`.
`require_tld` - If set to false the validator will not check if the domain includes a TLD.
`allow_underscores` - if set to true, the validator will allow underscores in the domain.
`allow_trailing_dot` - if set to true, the validator will allow the domain to end with a `.` character.
`allow_numeric_tld` - if set to true, the validator will allow the TLD of the domain to be made up solely of numbers.
`allow_wildcard` - if set to true, the validator will allow domains starting with `*.` (e.g. `*.example.com` or `*.shop.example.com`).
`ignore_max_length` - if set to true, the validator will not check for the standard max length of a domain.
**isFreightContainerID(str)** | alias for `isISO6346`, check if the string is a valid [ISO 6346](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_6346) shipping container identification.
**isFullWidth(str)** | check if the string contains any full-width chars.
**isHalfWidth(str)** | check if the string contains any half-width chars.

**isStrongPassword(str [, options])** | check if the string can be considered a strong password or not. Allows for custom requirements or scoring rules. If `returnScore` is true, then the function returns an integer score for the password rather than a boolean.
Default options:
`{ minLength: 8, minLowercase: 1, minUppercase: 1, minNumbers: 1, minSymbols: 1, returnScore: false, pointsPerUnique: 1, pointsPerRepeat: 0.5, pointsForContainingLower: 10, pointsForContainingUpper: 10, pointsForContainingNumber: 10, pointsForContainingSymbol: 10 }`
**isTime(str [, options])** | check if the string is a valid time e.g. [`23:01:59`, new Date().toLocaleTimeString()].
`options` is an object which can contain the keys `hourFormat` or `mode`.
`hourFormat` is a key and defaults to `'hour24'`.
`mode` is a key and defaults to `'default'`.
`hourFormat` can contain the values `'hour12'` or `'hour24'`, `'hour24'` will validate hours in 24 format and `'hour12'` will validate hours in 12 format.
`mode` can contain the values `'default', 'withSeconds', withOptionalSeconds`, `'default'` will validate `HH:MM` format, `'withSeconds'` will validate the `HH:MM:SS` format, `'withOptionalSeconds'` will validate `'HH:MM'` and `'HH:MM:SS'` formats.
**isTaxID(str, locale)** | check if the string is a valid Tax Identification Number. Default locale is `en-US`.
More info about exact TIN support can be found in `src/lib/isTaxID.js`.
Supported locales: `[ 'bg-BG', 'cs-CZ', 'de-AT', 'de-DE', 'dk-DK', 'el-CY', 'el-GR', 'en-CA', 'en-GB', 'en-IE', 'en-US', 'es-AR', 'es-ES', 'et-EE', 'fi-FI', 'fr-BE', 'fr-CA', 'fr-FR', 'fr-LU', 'hr-HR', 'hu-HU', 'it-IT', 'lb-LU', 'lt-LT', 'lv-LV', 'mt-MT', 'nl-BE', 'nl-NL', 'pl-PL', 'pt-BR', 'pt-PT', 'ro-RO', 'sk-SK', 'sl-SI', 'sv-SE', 'uk-UA']`.
-**isURL(str [, options])** | check if the string is a URL.
`options` is an object which defaults to `{ protocols: ['http','https','ftp'], require_tld: true, require_protocol: false, require_host: true, require_port: false, require_valid_protocol: true, allow_underscores: false, host_whitelist: false, host_blacklist: false, allow_trailing_dot: false, allow_protocol_relative_urls: false, allow_fragments: true, allow_query_components: true, disallow_auth: false, validate_length: true }`.
`require_protocol` - if set to true isURL will return false if protocol is not present in the URL.
`require_valid_protocol` - isURL will check if the URL's protocol is present in the protocols option.
`protocols` - valid protocols can be modified with this option.
`require_host` - if set to false isURL will not check if host is present in the URL.
`require_port` - if set to true isURL will check if port is present in the URL.
`allow_protocol_relative_urls` - if set to true protocol relative URLs will be allowed.
`allow_fragments` - if set to false isURL will return false if fragments are present.
`allow_query_components` - if set to false isURL will return false if query components are present.
`validate_length` - if set to false isURL will skip string length validation. `max_allowed_length` will be ignored if this is set as `false`.
`max_allowed_length` - if set isURL will not allow URLs longer than the specified value (default is 2084 that IE maximum URL length).
