Getting Started

starting with address or subnet strings

import "github.com/seancfoley/ipaddress-go/ipaddr"

ipv6AddrStr := ipaddr.NewIPAddressString("a:b:c:d::a:b/64")
if ipAddr, err := ipv6AddrStr.ToAddress(); err != nil {
	// err.Error() has validation error
} else {
	// use the address
}

...or avoid errors, checking for nil:

str := ipaddr.NewIPAddressString("a:b:c:d:e-f:f:1.2-3.3.4/64")
addr := str.GetAddress()
if addr != nil {
	// use address
}

starting with host name strings

hostStr := "[::1]"

host := ipaddr.NewHostName(hostStr)
err := host.Validate()
if err == nil {
	if host.IsAddress() {
		fmt.Println("address: " + host.AsAddress().String())
	} else {
		fmt.Println("host name: " + host.String())
	}
	// use host
} else {
	fmt.Println(err.Error())
}
