Client side validation with the Pattern Attribute

#todayilearned #webdev #html

Hello Devmates, 👋

Today I learned about the client side validation using

The Pattern Attribute

It is used to provide a regular expression (regex) to the input element of HTML. This regex is automatically checked just like a required attribute is checked in HTML.

It works with the input types including text, search, url, tel, email, and password.

Here is a pen demonstrating an email input which only accept secure emails:

Note: Never rely on only client side validation. Server Side validation is important from the security perspective. (I know this is obvious, Don't give me that look 😐)
