Validating a number

[stephanstapel]

It would be great if numeraljs would allow to validate a given string to be a number (or not).

I was wondering if this would be possible by using a similar approach like unformat(), removing thousand separator, the abbreviations first, then taking the result of

string.replace(/[^0-9.-]+/g, '')

and determining if the length is different to the length of the source string (--> check if the string contained invalid characters).

What do you think?

interesting idea. i'll look into this.

I have created a pull request (issue #146) that adds a top level validate method that can be used as
numeral.validate(value [, language])
