Validate Sign Up / Login Inputs using REGEX #37

Cover all cases of incorrect input. These include:
- Missing fields
- Input contains invalid characters The simplest way to do this is by using REGEX. It allows you to check if a string contains certain characters all in one line of code.

@nataliehodnett @megan-shah1 I think this should be done on the front end instead. I've already done some validation for the login page, but I still need to fix the signup page.

michelletaing commented 1 year ago

Validation that still needs to be done:

Disable the login button if there are any invalid inputs

First and last name fields allow only alphabetical characters
Username does not allow any whitespace characters
Password and confirm password field must match
Backend: @nataliehodnett @megan-shah1 we need an API function that checks if the username already exists in the database -- no duplicate usernames are allowed.
Disable the sign up button if there are any invalid inputs
