An IPv6 address is a 128-bit address represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated by colons. Shortened notation and mixed IPv4/IPv6 formats are also supported.

Example

// Prefer the new way:
isValidIP("2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334", { version: 6 }); // true
// Legacy:
isValidIPv6("2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334"); // true
isValidIPv6("1234::abcd"); // true
isValidIPv6("localhost"); // false
