Validations

Validations is a static utility class providing reusable input validation methods. All methods delegate to StaticRegexPatterns from the constants layer, ensuring regex definitions are centralized and consistent.

API

Method	Signature	Rule
`validateEmail`	`(email: string) → boolean`	Matches a standard email pattern via `StaticRegexPatterns.email`.
`validatePassword`	`(password: string) → boolean`	Matches the platform password policy via `StaticRegexPatterns.password`.
`validateUrl`	`(url: string) → boolean`	Matches well-formed URLs via `StaticRegexPatterns.url`.
`validatePhoneNumber`	`(phoneNumber: string) → boolean`	Strips all non-digit characters (except `+`), then matches via `StaticRegexPatterns.phoneNumber`.

Data Flow

::: info Phone Number Normalization
validatePhoneNumber is the only method that normalizes input before testing. It strips all characters except digits and +, allowing users to enter phone numbers in formats like (555) 123-4567 or +1-555-123-4567.

Usage

import { Validations } from '@/lib/internal/Validations';

Validations.validateEmail('user@example.com'); // true
Validations.validatePassword('Str0ng!Pass'); // true / false depending on policy
Validations.validateUrl('https://example.com'); // true
Validations.validatePhoneNumber('+1 (555) 123-4567'); // true (normalized to +15551234567)

Design Decisions

Static class, no instantiation — validation is stateless and context-free.
Centralized patterns — regex definitions live in StaticRegexPatterns, not in the validation class. This prevents pattern duplication.
Boolean return — methods return true / false only. Error messaging is the caller's responsibility.
