Form validation

Hey @Sanford Whiteman​

This solution, http://codepen.io/figureone/pen/JKzjvE/?editors=0010 , works great! It is very extensible.

If I wanted to add in the corporate email validation (ie no gmail, hotmail etc..) would I be able to work it in?

I am struggling with the pattern, can I include a series of strings?  Maybe I am trying to put square peg in a round hole

field: 'Email',

pattern: /[0-9]/,

predicate: false,

message: 'Must use a corporate email address',

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jason

    field: 'Email',
    pattern: /@(gmail.com|yahoo.com|hotmail.com)$/,
    predicate: false,
    message: 'Must use a corporate email address'
    }

But the list of freemail domains is actually gigantic, so unless you want only the low-hanging fruit, building the pattern inline is going to get really long. In my demo here I show how to save the whole Freemail list separately to your instance, then validate against it.  I haven't combined that with my extensible "validation framework" yet.
