sv_email {shinyvalidate}

Validate that a field contains an email address

Description

A validation function, suitable for use with InputValidator$add_rule(), that checks whether an input value looks like a valid email address.

Usage

sv_email(
  message = "Not a valid email address",
  allow_multiple = FALSE,
  allow_na = FALSE
)

Arguments

message

The validation error message to use if a value doesn't match a regex pattern for email address detection.

allow_multiple

If FALSE (the default), then the length of the input vector must be exactly one; if TRUE, then any length is allowed (including a length of zero; use sv_required() if one or more values should be required).

allow_na

If FALSE, then any NA element will cause validation to fail.

Value

A function suitable for use as an InputValidator$add_rule() rule.

See Also

The sv_url() function, another specialized regex-based function for validating URLs. For general regex-based validation the sv_regex() function is useful.

Other rule functions: compose_rules(), sv_between(), sv_equal(), sv_gte(), sv_gt(), sv_in_set(), sv_integer(), sv_lte(), sv_lt(), sv_not_equal(), sv_numeric(), sv_optional(), sv_regex(), sv_required(), sv_url()

Examples

## Only run examples in interactive R sessions
if (interactive()) {

library(shiny)
library(shinyvalidate)

ui <- fluidPage(
  textInput("email", "Email")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  
  # Validation rules are set in the server, start by
  # making a new instance of an `InputValidator()`
  iv <- InputValidator$new()

  # Basic usage: `sv_email()` works well with its
  # defaults; a message will be displayed if the
  # validation of `input$email` fails
  iv$add_rule("email", sv_email())

  # Finally, `enable()` the validation rules
  iv$enable()
}

shinyApp(ui, server)
