flutter validation value context and validation context code example

Example 1: flutter text form field email validation

String validateEmail(String value) {
    Pattern pattern =
        r"^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]"
        r"{0,253}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]"
        r"{0,253}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$";
    RegExp regex = new RegExp(pattern);
    if (!regex.hasMatch(value) || value == null)
      return 'Enter a valid email address';
    else
      return null;
  }

Example 2: validator flutter

final passwordValidator = MultiValidator([  
    RequiredValidator(errorText: 'password is required'),  
    MinLengthValidator(8, errorText: 'password must be at least 8 digits long'),  
    PatternValidator(r'(?=.*?[#?!@$%^&*-])', errorText: 'passwords must have at least one special character')  
 ]);  
  
  String password;  
  
  Form(  
    key: _formKey,  
    child: Column(children: [  
      TextFormField(  
        obscureText: true,  
        onChanged: (val) => password = val,  
        // assign the the multi validator to the TextFormField validator  
        validator: passwordValidator,  
      ),  
  
      // using the match validator to confirm password  
      TextFormField(  
        validator: (val) => MatchValidator(errorText: 'passwords do not match').validateMatch(val, password),  
      )  
    ]),  
  );
