Introduction

Validating numbers in JavaScript is a frequent requirement, especially in web applications for form validation and data processing. JavaScript regex can be used for this purpose, with patterns like /^\\d+$/ for integers.

What is Number Regex?

Different types of numbers require different regex patterns for validation in JavaScript.

The Number Regex Pattern

• Integers: /^\\d+$/

• Decimals: /^\\d+\\.\\d+$/

How to Validate Numbers in JavaScript?

To validate numbers in JavaScript:

function isValidNumber(number) {
    const regex = /^\d+$/;  // Adjust as needed
    return regex.test(number);
}

console.log(isValidNumber("12345"));  // True for integer

Uses of Number Regex Validation

1. Client-Side Validation: Ensuring numerical inputs in web forms are valid before submission.
