How to prevent the user from entering the character "`" in the Input field?

<input  type="text"/>

I assume that there is some kind of regular expression to solve this problem, but I could not find on the Internet which one.. I will be very grateful if you help =')

Updated: the main question is how to prevent the user from entering the character "`" in the Input field. I don't understand hot to do this.

CodePudding user response:

You can add an eventlistener to the input field and check for any charachter, that you don't want for each keystroke.

I made a quick demo: https://codesandbox.io/s/vigilant-leaf-h2syxv?file=/index.html:115-160

let item = document.querySelector(".name-input");
item.addEventListener("keypress", (e) => {
  if (e.key === "~" || e.key === "`") {
    e.preventDefault();
  }
});
<input  type="text" />

CodePudding user response:

So you should start by making a list of the special characters that you would to prevent users from using them, i assume that your list contains : [~,',",(,),`]. Then you can use this :

let name = document.querySelector('.name-input')
let regex = "[`'"()~]" 
if ( name.match(regex) ){
    console.log('There was a match');
} else {
    console.log('NO match');
}
