Add regex support for individual websites #11

Closed manu-chroma closed 6 years ago

manu-chroma commented 8 years ago

It shows not available for usernames which might not be possible to even create due to that particular websites limitations for username.

Add not possible for such usernames.

Can be fixed using regex for each website.

Ideally, I'd like to add regex check for individual websites in: https://github.com/manu-chroma/username-availability-checker/blob/master/username_api.py

There is a very rudimentary check implemented in the frontend at: https://github.com/manu-chroma/username-availability-checker/blob/master/templates/form.html#L36

@jayvdb I don't think their json data contains anything related to regex.

@manu-chroma , a username pattern could be added to https://github.com/WebBreacher/WhatsMyName/blob/master/web_accounts_list.json . They also need it, for the same reason this project needs it.

Their dataset contains everything that this project supports, except GitLab, which should be very easy to solve.
