Form Validation with JavaFX and RegEx

This project demonstrates a form validation application built with JavaFX. It uses regular expressions to validate user input across multiple fields and provides real-time feedback to users.

Features

• Validates form fields using regex patterns:
  • First and last names (2-25 characters, allows apostrophes)
  • Email (must end with farmingdale.edu domain)
  • Date of birth (MM/DD/YYYY format)
  • Zip code (5 digits only)
• Real-time validation feedback
• Modern UI with custom styling
• Submit button that activates only when form is valid

Project Structure

• RegexApplication.java: Main application class that launches the JavaFX application
• RegexController.java: Controller class that handles form validation logic
• regex-app-view.fxml: FXML file defining the UI layout
• style.css: CSS file containing custom styling for the application

CSS Styling

The application uses a custom CSS theme with the following features:

• Light blue background color
• Modern button styling with gradient colors
• Hover and click effects for buttons
• Custom fonts and text colors
• Error messages displayed in red

Requirements

• Java 17 or higher
• JavaFX 17 or higher

Setup and Running

1. Clone the repository
2. Make sure your IDE is configured with the correct JavaFX libraries
3. Run the RegexApplication class to start the application

Regular Expression Patterns

The application uses the following regex patterns:

• Names: ^[A-Za-z||']{2,25}$
• Email: ^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@farmingdale\\.edu$
