To validate a phone number and check whether it contains numeric digits, you can use regular expressions (regex). Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this in JavaScript:
Step 1: Define the Regular Expression
First, you need to define a regular expression that matches a valid phone number. A simple regex to check if a string contains only numeric digits is
/^\d+$/
.
Step 2: Create a Function to Validate the Phone Number
You can create a JavaScript function that uses this regex to validate the phone number.
Explanation
1. Regular Expression: ^\d+$
- ^
asserts the position at the start of the string.
- \d+
matches one or more numeric digits.
- $
asserts the position at the end of the string.
2. Function: validatePhoneNumber
- The function takes a phoneNumber
as input.
- It uses the test
method of the regex to check if the phoneNumber
contains only numeric digits.
- It returns true
if the phone number is valid and false
otherwise.
Example Usage
- The example usage demonstrates how to call the validatePhoneNumber
function and check if a given phone number is valid.
This method ensures that the phone number contains only numeric digits and is a simple way to validate phone numbers in JavaScript.
