slickgrid validate column with regex

Question

There is a simple sample with column validation:

    function requiredFieldValidator(value) {
      if (value == null || value == undefined || !value.length)

This was very helpful. I am creating different input types for every type of possible entry - email, phone, zip and so forth. To do this with JSON, you have to modify your slick.grid.js file to evaluate the entries to make them an object call.

if (d) {
  if(m.formatter){
    m.formatter=eval(m.formatter)
    } // make it an object call instead of string

if(m.editor) {
    m.editor=eval(m.editor)
    }

if(m.editorOptions) {
    m.editorOptions=eval(m.editorOptions)
    }

    }

Make your JSON columns have this update:

\"editor\": \"Slick.Editors.Conditional\", 
\"editorOptions\": 
   {\"pattern\":\"email\", \"msg\":\"Must be a valid email\",  \"required\":\"1\"}

Make youre slick.editors.js look like this:

(function ($) {
 $.extend(true, window, {
  "Slick": {
  "Editors": {
  "Conditional": Conditional, 

inside -> function Conditional(args){

if(typeof condObj.pattern != 'undefined') {
    if(condObj.pattern=='email'){
        pattern=/^([0-9a-zA-Z]+([_.-]?[0-9a-zA-Z]+)*@[0-9a-zA-Z]+[0-9,a-z,A-Z,.,-]*(.){1}[a-zA-Z]{2,4})+$/;
        val=$input.val();
      if(pattern.test(val) != true && val!='')  {
           returnMsg = (condObj.msg) ? condObj.msg : "Value is invalid";
           returnValid = false;
      }
 } 
}
if(!returnValid){
   alert(returnMsg)
}
