Regex (aka Regular Expressions) in JavaScript are very useful. In this tutorial, we'll take user input for validation and provide hints for the user along the way. We'll also look at a common fix with regex that most user input will benefit from. Finally, we'll look at encoding text with encodeURI() and why we should use regex to clean the text first.
