Regex pattern in Typescript












1














This pattern works, but it the opposite way than I intended, how do I change it so when I the pattern is matched, it causes an error? Thanks.



   <mat-form-field style="text-align: center">
<input type="text" pattern="^([aA]d{6})" placeholder="id" matInput="text" formControlName="id"
name="id" required>
</mat-form-field>

Your current pattern matches a string that starts with a or A and then has strictly 6 digits. The ^ is redundant in pattern regex since it is anchored by default.



So, in fact, the current regex is ^[Aa]d{6}$, and to write a reverse HTML5 pattern you may use



pattern="(?![aA]d{6}$).*"


This pattern will get parsed as /^(?:(?![aA]d{6}$).*)$/ pattern (with u modifier in Chrome, Firefox and other browsers supporting this feature).



The (?![Aa]d{6}$) negative lookahead will fail any string that starts with a or A and then having 6 digits to its end.



The .* matches any 0+ chars. Use .+ to match any 1 or more chars. This part is required since the HTML5 regex should match the whole input.



HTML5 demo:






input:valid {
color: black;
border: 5px solid #dadadada;
border-radius: 7px;
}
input:invalid {
color: navy;
outline: none;
border-color: #ff1050;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px #ff0000;
}

<form name="form1"> 
<input pattern="(?![aA]d{6}$).*" title="Please enter a valid string." placeholder="Please enter valid text" />
<input type="Submit"/>
</form>
