Email & Phone Validation in Swift

Question

i am using the following code for phone number validation. But i am getting the following error. I cant able to proceed further. Help us to take it forward.

Answer 1

File-New-File.Make a Swift class named AppExtension.Add the following.

        extension UIViewController{
            func validateEmailAndGetBoolValue(candidate: String) -> Bool {
                let emailRegex = "[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,6}"
                return NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", emailRegex).evaluateWithObject(candidate)
            }
        }

        Use: 
        var emailValidator:Bool?
        self.emailValidator =  self.validateEmailAndGetBoolValue(resetEmail!)
                        print("emailValidator : "+String(self.emailValidator?.boolValue))

        Use a loop to alternate desired results.


    OR
        extension String
        {
        //Validate Email
            var isEmail: Bool {
                do {
                    let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: "^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$", options: .CaseInsensitive)
                    return regex.firstMatchInString(self, options: NSMatchingOptions(rawValue: 0), range: NSMakeRange(0, self.characters.count)) != nil
                } catch {
                    return false
                }

            }
        }

        Use:
        if(resetEmail!.isEmail)
                        {
                        AppController().requestResetPassword(resetEmail!)
                        self.view.makeToast(message: "Sending OTP")
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            self.view.makeToast(message: "Please enter a valid email")
                        }

Kirit Modi's response about Email Validation for Swift 3:

func isValidEmail(testStr:String) -> Bool {
    let emailRegEx = "^(?:(?:(?:(?: )*(?:(?:(?:\\t| )*\\r\\n)?(?:\\t| )+))+(?: )*)|(?: )+)?(?:(?:(?:[-A-Za-z0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_'{|}~]+(?:\\.[-A-Za-z0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_'{|}~]+)*)|(?:\"(?:(?:(?:(?: )*(?:(?:[!#-Z^-~]|\\[|\\])|(?:\\\\(?:\\t|[ -~]))))+(?: )*)|(?: )+)\"))(?:@)(?:(?:(?:[A-Za-z0-9](?:[-A-Za-z0-9]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?)(?:\\.[A-Za-z0-9](?:[-A-Za-z0-9]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?)*)|(?:\\[(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:[0-9]|(?:[1-9][0-9])|(?:1[0-9][0-9])|(?:2[0-4][0-9])|(?:25[0-5]))\\.){3}(?:[0-9]|(?:[1-9][0-9])|(?:1[0-9][0-9])|(?:2[0-4][0-9])|(?:25[0-5]))))|(?:(?:(?: )*[!-Z^-~])*(?: )*)|(?:[Vv][0-9A-Fa-f]+\\.[-A-Za-z0-9._~!$&'()*+,;=:]+))\\])))(?:(?:(?:(?: )*(?:(?:(?:\\t| )*\\r\\n)?(?:\\t| )+))+(?: )*)|(?: )+)?$"
    let emailTest = NSPredicate(format:"SELF MATCHES %@", emailRegEx)
    let result = emailTest.evaluate(with: testStr)
    return result
  }

Using Swift 3

 func validate(value: String) -> Bool {
    let PHONE_REGEX = "^\\d{3}-\\d{3}-\\d{4}$"
    let phoneTest = NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", PHONE_REGEX)
    let result =  phoneTest.evaluate(with: value)
    return result
}

Answer 4

Phone regex only for ّIran phone number

func isValidPhone(phone: String) -> Bool {

        let PHONE_REGEX = "^09[0-9'@s]{9,9}$"
        let phoneTest = NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", PHONE_REGEX)
        let result =  phoneTest.evaluate(with: phone)
        return result

    }

Answer 5

You can create separate class for validation as below:

enum AIValidationRule: Int {
case
EmptyCheck,
MinMaxLength,
FixedLength,
EmailCheck,
UpperCase,
LowerCase,
SpecialCharacter,
DigitCheck,
WhiteSpaces,
None

}

let ValidationManager = AIValidationManager.sharedManager


func validateTextField(txtField:AITextField, forRule rule:AIValidationRule, withMinimumChar minChar:Int, andMaximumChar maxChar:Int) -> (isValid:Bool, errMessage:String, txtFieldWhichFailedValidation:AITextField)? {

    switch rule {

    case .EmptyCheck:
        return (txtField.text?.characters.count == 0) ? (false,"Please enter \(txtField.placeholder!.lowercased())",txtField) : nil


    case .MinMaxLength:
        return (txtField.text!.characters.count < minChar || txtField.text!.characters.count > maxChar) ? (false,"\(txtField.placeholder!) should be of \(minChar) to \(maxChar) characters",txtField) : nil

    case .FixedLength:
        return (txtField.text!.characters.count != minChar) ? (false,"\(txtField.placeholder!) should be of \(minChar) characters",txtField) : nil


    case .EmailCheck:
        return (!(txtField.text?.isValidEmail())!) ? (false,"Please enter valid email",txtField) : nil


    case .UpperCase:
        return ((txtField.text! as NSString).rangeOfCharacter(from: NSCharacterSet.uppercaseLetters).location == NSNotFound) ? (false,"\(txtField.placeholder!) should contain atleast one uppercase letter",txtField) : nil


    case .LowerCase:
        return ((txtField.text! as NSString).rangeOfCharacter(from: NSCharacterSet.lowercaseLetters).location == NSNotFound) ? (false,"\(txtField.placeholder!) should contain atleast one lowercase letter",txtField) : nil


    case .SpecialCharacter:
        let symbolCharacterSet = NSMutableCharacterSet.symbol()
        symbolCharacterSet.formUnion(with: NSCharacterSet.punctuationCharacters)
        return ((txtField.text! as NSString).rangeOfCharacter(from: symbolCharacterSet as CharacterSet).location == NSNotFound) ? (false,"\(txtField.placeholder!) should contain atleast one special letter",txtField) : nil


    case .DigitCheck:
        return ((txtField.text! as NSString).rangeOfCharacter(from: NSCharacterSet(charactersIn: "0123456789") as CharacterSet).location == NSNotFound) ? (false,"\(txtField.placeholder!) should contain atleast one digit letter",txtField) : nil

    case .WhiteSpaces:
        return (txtField.text!.containsAdjacentSpaces() || txtField.text!.isLastCharcterAWhiteSpace()) ? (false,"\(txtField.placeholder!) seems to be invalid",txtField) : nil

    case .None:
        return nil
    }
}

    func validateTextField(txtField:AITextField, forRules rules:[AIValidationRule]) -> (isValid:Bool, errMessage:String, txtFieldWhichFailedValidation:AITextField)? {
    return validateTextField(txtField: txtField, forRules: rules, withMinimumChar: 0, andMaximumChar: 0)
}



func validateTextField(txtField:AITextField, forRules rules:[AIValidationRule], withMinimumChar minChar:Int, andMaximumChar maxChar:Int) -> (isValid:Bool, errMessage:String, txtFieldWhichFailedValidation:AITextField)? {

    var strMessage:String = ""
    for eachRule in rules {

        if let result = validateTextField(txtField: txtField, forRule: eachRule, withMinimumChar: minChar, andMaximumChar: maxChar) {
            if(eachRule == AIValidationRule.EmptyCheck){
                return result
            }else{
                strMessage += "\(strMessage.characters.count == 0 ? "" : "\n\n") \(result.errMessage)"
            }
        }
    }
    return strMessage.characters.count > 0 ? (false,strMessage,txtField) : nil
}

For Swift 3.0 and above

var isPhoneNumber: Bool{
let allowedCharacters = CharacterSet(charactersIn: "+0123456789").inverted
let inputString = components(separatedBy: allowedCharacters)
let filtered = inputString.joined(separator: "")
return self == filtered}
