How to apply Regex validation to an array of strings

Below is the code test the bug

var EmailSchema = new SimpleSchema({
    emails: {
        type: [String],
        minCount: 1,
    optional: false,
        regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Email
        }
});

isValid = EmailSchema.namedContext("myContext").validate({ emails: ['sdfsdfsf sd'] });
//isValid is false. 

isValid = EmailSchema.namedContext("myContext").validateOne({ emails: ['sdfsdfsf sd'] },"emails");
//isValid is true. I could be wrong but shouldn't "emails" validation be false? 

I’m probably missing something but is it possible to apply Regex validation to an array of strings as defined above?

Use a full definition instead of the [String] shortcut.

emails: {
  type: Array,
  minCount: 1
},
'emails.$': {
  type: String,
  regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Email
}

Sounds good. Thanks.

@emmanuelbuah https://github.com/emmanuelbuah, I think putting something like this in your form below your emails field will work.

{{#each invalidEmailFields}}

{{afFieldMessage name=this.name}}

{{/each}}

With helper

invalidEmailFields: function () { var c = AutoForm.getValidationContext(); if © { return _.select(c.invalidKeys(), function (key) { return key.name.indexOf(‘emails.’ === 0); }); } }

Either way, this is an autoform question, so I will close and you can post in the autoform repo if you still need help.
