 Problem: Restricting User Input in Vuetify Textfields

Suppose you have a Vuetify textfield and you want to allow only alphanumeric characters and spaces in the user's input. To accomplish this, you can create a custom validation rule using regular expressions. Here's how it's done:

Step 1: Create the Vuetify Textfield

In your Vue.js template, define a Vuetify textfield with a label, model, and custom validation rule. Here's an example

Run

In the above code snippet, we have created a Vuetify textfield with the label "Only Alphanumeric Input Allowed." The v-model directive binds the input's value to the inputText data property, and the :rules attribute is set to an array containing our custom validation rule, alphanumericRule.

Step 2: Define the Validation Rule

Now, let's define the alphanumericRule method in your Vue instance. This method will use a regular expression to validate the input and ensure it contains only alphanumeric characters and spaces:

Copied to Clipboard

In the code above, we define a Vue instance with an alphanumericRule method. This method uses a regular expression, /^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]*$/, to test if the provided value contains only alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers) and spaces. If the input doesn't conform to this pattern, the method returns an error message, indicating that only alphanumeric characters and spaces are allowed.
