React Project - Week 003

I was able to get in some time to work on this, but mostly mechanical instead of front-end. I decided to work on the validation with creating an account:

• Email Requirement
• Email Regex Pattern
• Password Requirement
• Password minimum and maximum character limit
• Password needs at least one:
  • Lowercase character
  • Uppercase character
  • Numeric character
  • Special character

All of the validation methods was made in a library that I created so that it can be reused with any other forms for the website. The minimum and maximum character limit function will take in a variable to set the limit amount. Originally, the lowercase, uppercase, numeric, and special character checks was all in one method, but decided to break it down so that I can display any special styling and messaging to show the user that they need to make the necessary corrections.

I am having some connection issues with React communicating with Mongo via Node.js, but if I just save the file that has the Mongo code then it works fine. Rather odd behavior, but i’ll try to figure out the issue some other time.

Otherwise, I will make some additional styling changes this week with the register form, and some backend validation like checking for the same front-end validation along with email check and performing hash and salting.
