Body

Hi everyone 👋,

I recently published a small React utility library called react-container-validator, and I would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions from the community.

🚀 What the library does

react-container-validator is designed to help developers validate ISO 6346 container numbers directly in React forms. It includes:

Automatic owner code + category validation

Check digit calculation

Real-time validation feedback

Simple and lightweight usage

📦 NPM Package
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-container-validator

💡 Why I built this

I work on container management / depot systems, and found that many teams still validate container numbers manually or using custom logic.
So I created this library to make the process reusable, standardized, and easier for other developers.

🙏 What I'm looking for

Feedback on the implementation

Suggestions for improvements or new features

Best practices for growing a small utility library

Any potential issues to consider for broader adoption

Thanks in advance! I’m still new to publishing packages and would love guidance from the community. 😊
