Angular 2: Katakana Regex

Question

I want to validate if the inputted text is in Katakana.

I have this:

Validators.pattern('[\u30A0-\u30FF]+')

But I also want to accept spaces in between. What should I add?

Not sure what you want to achieve here. Do you want individual Katakana words separated by spaces? — Abhishek, Jul 27 '17 at 06:01

I solved this problem. I added \.<space>

Validators.pattern('[\u30A0-\u30FF\. ]+')

This accepts Katakana characters and space/s in input field

You may also use Torazaburo's solution, `'[\u30A0-\u30FF\\s]'`. Or adding a dot - `'[\u30A0-\u30FF\\s.]'` – Wiktor Stribiżew Jul 27 '17 at 06:41
