In this article, we’ll look at how to validate currency with JavaScript regex.

How to validate currency with JavaScript regex?

To validate currency with JavaScript regex, we use the following regex:

/(?=.*?d)^$?(([1-9]d{0,2}(,d{3})*)|d+)?(.d{1,2})?$/

The (?=.*?d) part makes sure that the string starts with a number.

^$?(([1-9]d{0,2} makes sure the number starts with 1 to 9.

(,d{3})*) checks that the number has 0 or more groups of 3 digits after the start of the number separated by commas.

We also have d+ to make the 3 digit groups optional.

Finally, we have ?(.d{1,2})?$ to make sure that the number optionally ends with a decimal point and 0 to 2 digits.

Conclusion

To validate currency with JavaScript regex, we use the following regex:

/(?=.*?d)^$?(([1-9]d{0,2}(,d{3})*)|d+)?(.d{1,2})?$/
