validate google docs and office 365 url












0















I am using regex for validating if the provided url is valid or not. To test validity(either google docs url or office 365 docs), I did the following but it's not working



var url = "https://hello-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/personal/;
var urlRegx = new RegExp('^(docs.google.com|(http|https)://[A-Za-z]-.my.sharepoint.com)', 'i');
console.log(urlRegx.test(url));


This is giving me false when i have the sharepoint url but true when i have the `url = "docs.google.com/document/"

  • Try var urlRegx = /^(?:docs.google.com|https?)://[A-Za-z]+-my.sharepoint.com/i;. See the regex demo.

You've got an additional closing bracket ) at the end of your expression which you should remove.



You are also missing a + after [A-Za-z] (as without the plus you are only matching a single character).



Here is a working example:






var url = "https://hello-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/personal/";
var urlRegx = new RegExp('(docs.google.com|(http|https))(://[A-Za-z]+-my.sharepoint.com)?', 'i');
console.log(urlRegx.test(url));





Note: When using the RegExp constructor you do not need to escape the special characters. Thus, if you don't use the RegExp constructor you must escape your special characters like so:



var urlRegx = /(docs.google.com|(http|https))://[A-Za-z]+-my.sharepoint.com/i;

  • You still did not escape dots. See console.log('.'). There is no need escaping / in a regex pattern built with RegExp constructor, / is not a special regex metacharacter.
