Check whether a string matches a regex in JS

Question

I want to use JavaScript (can be with jQuery) to do some client-side validation to check whether a string matches the regex:

^([a-z0-9]{5,})$

Answer 1

try

 /^[a-z\d]{5,}$/.test(str)

console.log( /^[a-z\d]{5,}$/.test("abc123") );

console.log( /^[a-z\d]{5,}$/.test("ab12") );
