Match Input plugin for Craft CMS 4.x and 5.x
============================================

[](#match-input-plugin-for-craft-cms-4x-and-5x)

Craft field type for text fields that match a regex pattern.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install Match Input, follow these steps:

1. Install with Composer via `composer require born05/craft-matchinput` from your project directory
2. Install plugin in the Craft Control Panel under Settings > Plugins

or

1. Install via the Plugin Store

Match Input works on Craft 4.x and Craft 5.x.

Match Input Overview
--------------------

[](#match-input-overview)

A *Match Input* field is a *Plain Text* field with the addition of a regex pattern that the field must match to be valid.

Using Match Input
-----------------

[](#using-match-input)

When you create the field, you specify the `Input Mask`. This is the [PCRE Pattern](http://php.net/manual/en/pcre.pattern.php) which the input is required to match. You also specify an `Error Message` to display when the field does not match the pattern.

If you need to translate the `Error Message` (for a multi-language control panel), those translations will be in the `site` translation category.

Sample Input Masks
------------------

[](#sample-input-masks)

- `https://` - not a valid pattern (no delimiters)
- `/https:\/\//` - valid pattern, will match string with `https://` in it anywhere
- `#https://#` - valid pattern, will match string with `https://` in it anywhere (sometimes / isn't the best delimiter)
- `#^https://#` - will match string that begins with `https://`
- `/^\d{5}(-\d{4})?$/` - will match 5 digits, optionally followed by `-` and 4 digits (uses ^ and $ to match the entire string)
