JavaScript is known to only check the first variable in a &&
comparison in case the first variable returns false. Is there a way to 'ask' JavaScript to check both variables i.e. when they are methods?
For example: Suppose you have 2 methods that validate 2 separate user inputs:
const validateEmail = value => {
if(value.contains('@')){
setShowEmailError(false);
return true;
}
setShowEmailError(true);
return false;
};
const validatePswd = value => {
if(value !== ''){
setShowPswdError(false);
return true;
}
setShowPswdError(true);
return false;
};
Then check both conditions:
if(validateEmail(email) && validatePswd(pswd)){
//validate entire form and render errors
}
However, the above will not execute the validatePswd
method if the first method validateEmail
returns false.
Is there a way to check if both values are true and run both methods? Having JavaScript run both methods would be a breeze in some cases.

You can execute them in an array and then accumulate the result with &&
by reduce
function.
const validateEmail = value => {
if(value.includes('@')){
//setShowEmailError(false);
return true;
}
//setShowEmailError(true);
console.log('wrong email')
return false;
};
const validatePswd = value => {
if(value !== ''){
//setShowPswdError(false);
return true;
}
// setShowPswdError(true);
console.log('wrong password');
return false;
};
// you can execute any number of validations within the array.
const result = [validateEmail('something'), validatePswd('')].reduce((acc, f) => acc && f, true);
console.log(result)
UPDATE
Or as @lux suggested using every
method.
const validateEmail = value => {
if(value.includes('@')){
//setShowEmailError(false);
return true;
}
//setShowEmailError(true);
console.log('wrong email')
return false;
};
const validatePswd = value => {
if(value !== ''){
//setShowPswdError(false);
return true;
}
// setShowPswdError(true);
console.log('wrong password');
return false;
};
// you can execute any number of validations within the array.
const result = [validateEmail('something'), validatePswd('')].every(r => r);
console.log(result)

I don't know if you are looking for something like this:
const valEmail = validateEmail(email);
const valPsw = validatePswd(pswd);
if(valEmail && valPsw ){
//validate entire form and render errors
}
