 **isLuhnNumber(str)**                    | check if the string passes the [Luhn algorithm check](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm).
 **isMACAddress(str [, options])**                   | check if the string is a MAC address.<br/><br/>`options` is an object which defaults to `{ no_separators: false }`. If `no_separators` is true, the validator will allow MAC addresses without separators. Also, it allows the use of hyphens, spaces or dots e.g. '01 02 03 04 05 ab', '01-02-03-04-05-ab' or '0102.0304.05ab'. The options also allow a `eui` property to specify if it needs to be validated against EUI-48 or EUI-64. The accepted values of `eui` are: 48, 64.
 **isMagnetURI(str)**                      | check if the string is a [Magnet URI format][Magnet URI Format].

If 'any' or a falsey value is used, function will check if any of the locales match).<br/><br/>`options` is an optional object that can be supplied with the following keys: `strictMode`, if this is set to `true`, the mobile phone number must be supplied with the country code and therefore must start with `+`. Locale list is `validator.isMobilePhoneLocales`.
