This component has 3 goals:

  • Show how to use Regular expressions for both client side (use in Mobile and Reactive) as well as server side (use in Traditional web and server side operations);
  • Provide testing capabilities - regex syntax is quite error-prone and may be a tiresome task to test it, having to go back to your code, publish and refresh dependencies so you can see if it works as desired. With this component, you have a sandbox to try out our matches both client and server side;
  • Provide the regular expressions for the most common scenarios:
    • Validate dates (DD/MM/YYYY) - validates also the leap day (February 29th);
    • Validate credit card numbers;
    • Validate phone numbers;
    • Get domain from URL;
    • Validate IP address;
    • Get only letters from expression;
    • Get only numbers from expression;
    • Get only numbers and letters from expression;
    • Validates if there is at least one letter, one number and one special character (typical password use case)
    • Gets everything between commas
