Sometimes, we want to add email validation with JavaScript.
In this article, we’ll look at how to add email validation with JavaScript.
Add Email Validation with JavaScript
To add email validation with JavaScript, we can check our strings against a simple regex with the test method.
For instance, we can write:
const email = 'abc@abc.com'
if (/(.+)@(.+){2,}\.(.+){2,}/.test(email)) {
console.log('valid')
} else {
console.log('invalid')
}
to define the email regex with:
/(.+)@(.+){2,}\.(.+){2,}/
The regex just matches any string with characters before and after the @ sign.
After the @ sign, we also, check if there’re 2 or more characters after the dot for the domain extension.
Then we call test on the regex with email to check if email is a valid email string.
Therefore, we should see 'valid' logged since it’s a valid email.
