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

The following code works in xcode 6.3 beta

func isValidEmail(testStr:String) -> Bool {

   let emailRegEx = "[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}"
   let range = testStr.rangeOfString(emailRegEx, options:.RegularExpressionSearch)
   let result = range != nil ? true : false
   return result

}

how to use it:

Ex.

if isValidEmail(email.text) == false{
//your code here
}

Answer 2

Swift 3:

private func validate(phoneNumber: String) -> Bool {
    let charcterSet  = NSCharacterSet(charactersIn: "+0123456789").inverted
    let inputString = phoneNumber.components(separatedBy: charcterSet)
    let filtered = inputString.joined(separator: "")
    return  phoneNumber == filtered
}

Answer 3

Yes your Error is below in XCode 6.1

This error is occurs because of if conditional have to Bool return type, but in Your if condition Return type is NSPredicate so that you got error swift: Bound value in a conditional binding must be of Optional type you can solve as below.

    var phoneTest = NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", PHONE_REGEX)
         if phoneTest.evaluateWithObject(value) {
                  return (true, .NoError)
             }
                 return (false, .PhoneNumber)
            }

Email-Validations in Swift.

    func isValidEmail(testStr:String) -> Bool {
            print("validate emilId: \(testStr)")
            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.evaluateWithObject(testStr)
            return result
        } 

Use of Email-validation:

    if isValidEmail("kirit@gmail.com"){
            print("Validate EmailID")
        }
        else{
            print("invalide EmailID")
        }

Phone-Number Validation in Swift

    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

Maybe a better phone validator in Swift 2:

extension String {
    var isPhoneNumber: Bool {
        do {
            let detector = try NSDataDetector(types: NSTextCheckingType.PhoneNumber.rawValue)
            let matches = detector.matchesInString(self, options: [], range: NSMakeRange(0, self.characters.count))
            if let res = matches.first {
                return res.resultType == .PhoneNumber && res.range.location == 0 && res.range.length == self.characters.count
            } else {
                return false
            }
        } catch {
            return false
        }
    }
}

Answer 5

Swift 4.1.

func isValidPhone(phone: String) -> Bool {

      let phoneRegex = "^[0-9]{6,14}$";
      let valid = NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", phoneRegex).evaluate(with: phone)
      return valid
   }

func isValidEmail(candidate: String) -> Bool {

       let emailRegex = "[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,}"
       var valid = NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", emailRegex).evaluate(with: candidate)
        if valid {
            valid = !candidate.contains("..")
        }
        return valid
  }

Updated for Swift 3

extension String {
    var isPhoneNumber: Bool {
        do {
            let detector = try NSDataDetector(types: NSTextCheckingResult.CheckingType.phoneNumber.rawValue)
            let matches = detector.matches(in: self, options: [], range: NSMakeRange(0, self.characters.count))
            if let res = matches.first {
                return res.resultType == .phoneNumber && res.range.location == 0 && res.range.length == self.characters.count
            } else {
                return false
            }
        } catch {
            return false
        }
    }
}
