How to allow only English letters in input fields?

Question

So, this is my input field:

How can I allow only English letters?

This is the RegEx

Answer 1

This should do the trick, all characters except ascii 0-127 which are English characters should be excluded, o through 127 also gives you space, +, -, / and punctuation which is useful, if you want only letters then [^A-z] should do the trick, if you need non-space characters then [^A-z\s] should work:

document.getElementById('english').addEventListener('input', function(){
  this.value = this.value.replace(/[^\x00-\x7F]+/ig, '');
});

React Way:

class InputEnglish extends React.Component {
  constructor(){
    super();
    this.state = {value: ''};
    this.onChange = this.onChange.bind(this);
  }
  onChange(e) {
    let val = e.target.value.replace(/[^\x00-\x7F]/ig, '');
    this.setState(state => ({ value: val }));
  }
  render() {
    return ();
  }
}
