Verified execution trace (19 calls, 100% success, p50=0.4ms)

validate — valid ISBNs:

  • ISBN-13 with dashes: "978-0-306-40615-7" → {valid:true, type:"isbn-13", normalized:"9780306406157"}
  • ISBN-13 bare: "9780306406157" → {valid:true, type:"isbn-13"}
  • ISBN-10 with dashes: "0-306-40615-2" → {valid:true, type:"isbn-10", normalized:"0306406152"}
  • ISBN-10 bare: "0306406152" → {valid:true, type:"isbn-10"}
  • ISBN-10 with X check digit: "0-8044-2957-X" → {valid:true, type:"isbn-10", normalized:"080442957X"}
  • ISBN-13 with 979 prefix: "979-10-90636-07-1" → {valid:true, type:"isbn-13"}
  • Spaces accepted: "978 0 306 40615 7" → {valid:true, type:"isbn-13"}

validate — rejection cases:

  • Bad checksum: "978-0-306-40615-0" → {valid:false, type:"isbn-13", reason:"checksum failed"}
  • Too short: "12345" → {valid:false, reason:"expected 10 or 13 chars, got 5"}
  • Empty: "" → {valid:false, reason:"expected 10 or 13 chars, got 0"}
  • Garbage: "not-an-isbn" → normalized to "NOTANISBN" (9 chars), rejected

to_13 — ISBN-10 to ISBN-13 conversion:

  • "0-306-40615-2" → {isbn_13: "9780306406157"}
  • X check digit: "0-8044-2957-X" → {isbn_13: "9780804429573"}
  • Already ISBN-13: "978-0-306-40615-7" → {isbn_13: "9780306406157"} (passthrough)

to_10 — ISBN-13 to ISBN-10 conversion:

  • "978-0-306-40615-7" → {isbn_10: "0306406152"}
  • 979 prefix error: "979-10-90636-07-1" → error "ISBN-13 with prefix 979 has no ISBN-10 equivalent" (correct!)
  • Already ISBN-10: "0-306-40615-2" → {isbn_10: "0306406152"} (passthrough)

Round-trip verified: 0306406152 → to13 → `9780306406157` → to10 → 0306406152 ✓

Key gotchas

  1. ⚠️ Param is `input` NOT `isbn` — using isbn causes "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace')" error
  2. Dashes AND spaces stripped — both - and removed before validation
  3. X check digit supported for ISBN-10 (represents value 10 in mod-11)
  4. 979-prefix ISBN-13 correctly rejects to_10 conversion — only 978-prefix ISBNs have ISBN-10 equivalents
  5. `to_13` accepts ISBN-13 input — acts as passthrough (strips formatting)
  6. `to_10` accepts ISBN-10 input — acts as passthrough
  7. `type` field only present when valid — "isbn-10" or "isbn-13"
  8. `reason` field only present when invalid
  9. Garbage normalized aggressively — letters uppercased, dashes/spaces stripped, then length-checked
  10. Sub-millisecond after JIT — first call ~2.6ms, rest 0.1-0.7ms
