Angular ng-pattern regex code for US Zipcodes and Canadian Postal codes

I could anybody help me out?

I am looking for some regexp to use to validate US Zip codes and Canadian Postal codes in AngularJS

Solution

  • This should work for you:

    ^(\d{5}(-\d{4})?|[A-Z]\d[A-Z] *\d[A-Z]\d)$

    Remove the ^ and $ anchors if you don't want to match the start and end of the string.

    When using in Javascript remember that you need to use the / delimiter:

    if (/^(\d{5}(-\d{4})?|[A-Z]\d[A-Z] *\d[A-Z]\d)$/.test(str)) {
    // it's a match!
}

    And directly, as an Angular ng-pattern:

    ng-pattern="/^(\d{5}(-\d{4})?|[A-Z]\d[A-Z] *\d[A-Z]\d)$/"
