I am trying to validate a users email, by checking it against an expression. But the result i am getting is invalid for all the entries.
UPDATED CODE
class dummytest extends Component{
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
email :'',
validated: false ,
}
};
go = () => {
const reg = /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/;
if (reg.test(this.state.email) === true){
alert( valid);
}
else{
alert();
}
}
render(){
return(
<View style={{alignSelf:'center',marginTop:100}}>
<TextInput autoCapitalize="none" autoCorrect={false} style={{height:20,width:200,backgroundColor:'blue'}} value={this.setState.email}/>
<Button onPress={this.go.bind(this)}>
<Text> GO </Text>
</Button>
</View>
);
}
}
Ok I got the code working, below you can take the look for validating the email on each user input :
validate = (text) => {
console.log(text);
let reg = /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/;
if (reg.test(text) === false) {
console.log("Email is Not Correct");
this.setState({ email: text })
return false;
}
else {
this.setState({ email: text })
console.log("Email is Correct");
}
}
<TextInput
placeholder="Email ID"
onChangeText={(text) => this.validate(text)}
value={this.state.email}
/>
