How would I go about ensuring that numbers entered into a field starts with a 0? My initial question was suggesting that the company wants to force users to input 0 first, but I think an elegant solution would work better.
function creationValidationNumber(dataValues, setErrors) {
let testData:any = {};
if ("numberPrime" in dataValues) testData.numberPrime = /^[a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z
.,'-]*$/g.test(dataValues.numberPrime) ? "" : "Numbers must start with a 0";
setErrors({ ...testData });
return Object.values(testData).every((x) => x === "");
}
I just don't know how to get the regular expression to test and throw an error if it doesn't start with 0
If anyone could please guide me on the right path.

You don't need regex for this. Just check if the first character is "0":
dataValues.numberPrime[0] == "0"

I don't know why you have a more complicated regex, all you need is:
/^0/
