JS RegExp - Exact match

Question

I am new to regExp and need to check a password field that accepts 8 to 20 letters.

I have tried str.test or str.match but they return true even when letters can exceed 20.

Is there a native method that can return true/false based on exact match.

RegExp

/.{8,20}/

use this var exp = "/^{8,20}$/"; – Sandeep K. Sep 05 '20 at 05:37 — Sandeep K., Sep 05 '20 at 05:37

Yes, you can use the following:

/^.{8,20}$/.test(yourString)

or

yourString.length >= 8 && yourString.length <= 20
