First and last name validation #2249

Closed dracan closed 6 years ago

dracan commented 6 years ago

When trying to register a new user, the registration form fails ...

Looking at the code, the AllReady.ViewModels.Account.RegisterViewModel has this regular expression ... (.*?)\s([\wáâàãçéêíóôõúüÁÂÀÃÇÉÊÍÓÔÕÚÜ]+\-?\'?\w+\.*?$), which seems to have been added in #2148. Not sure this is right.

The current regular expression (as quoted by @dracan above) looks for: any character, followed by whitespace, followed by at least one letter or number including accented letters, followed by some optional special characters, followed by white space, followed by optional periods.

I've changed it so that it looks for at least one letter (including the same accented letters), number or a small list of special characters (hyphen, apostrophe, period, comma, space) and made sure there are no characters before or afterwards.
