This is my regex
const firstNameSpecialChars = /[^\/\\#+()$~%.":;*<>{}@]/;
This is my validation
const validationSchema = Yup.object().shape({
email: Yup.string()
.email(ENTER_VALID_EMAIL_MESSAGE)
.required(EMAIL_IS_REQUIRED_MESSAGE),
firstname: Yup.string()
.trim()
.matches(
firstNameSpecialChars,
'These characters are not allowed in name fields',
),
I want an error to be shown when there is a regex match. This works, but there is a problem... As soon as i type after the hash symbol the error disappears but when there is a symbol the error shows up
This is how my error looks like when I type regex chars
which is not what i want if there is special char i want the error to be there till the user removes the special char
Found a solution :
I had to do this :
Regex
/^[^#+()$~%.":;*<>{}@\\/\\]+$/
This gives me the error when anyone of the stuff inside the [ ] matches
