I'm currently trying to validate a sign up page using an if statement with multiple conditions.
At the same time, I want to validate the email address with a correct email format.
Below is each field should essentially be checked.
@IBAction func createAccountButton(_ sender: Any) {
//check if textfields are empty and display alert
let providedEmailAddress = emailTextField.text
let isEmailAddressValid = isValidEmailAddress(emailAddressString: providedEmailAddress!)
if ( isEmailAddressValid || (firstNameTextField.text?.isEmpty)! || (lastNameTextField.text?.isEmpty)! || (usernameTextField.text?.isEmpty)! || (phoneNumberTextField.text?.isEmpty)! || (passwordTextField.text?.isEmpty)!) {
let alertViewController = SCLAlertView().showInfo("Failed to create account", subTitle: "One or more fields are empty, please check and try again.")
} else {
SVProgressHUD.show(withStatus: "Creating account...")
SVProgressHUD.dismiss(withDelay: 4)
}
}
The variable isEmailAddressValid is linked to this function I found on this site.
// Check if email address entered is of the valid format
func isValidEmailAddress(emailAddressString: String) -> Bool {
var returnValue = true
let emailRegEx = "[A-Z0-9a-z.-_]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,3}"
do {
let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: emailRegEx)
let nsString = emailAddressString as NSString
let results = regex.matches(in: emailAddressString, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: nsString.length))
if results.count == 0
{
returnValue = false
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print("invalid regex: \(error.localizedDescription)")
returnValue = false
}
return returnValue
}
However, when testing I realised when I enter a value in each field except the emailTextfield.text and click to create an account, the else part of the statement is executed.
Moreover when all fields have a value, I would assume the else part of the statement WILL execute, but the 'failed to create an account' alert is displayed instead.
What am I doing wrong and what needs to be changed?
