# HTML input pattern generator

Build and test HTML pattern validation with live matching examples and ready-to-copy attributes.

Build and test an HTML input pattern without wrestling with regex syntax. Start from a common rule or write your own, then try values against it and copy the input attributes.

## Full-value matching

HTML patterns apply to the entire value, not just a substring.

## Live examples

Every test line is marked valid or invalid immediately.

## Copyable markup

The generated attributes include a human-readable title.

## Frequently asked questions

Is pattern a replacement for server validation?

No. Browser validation helps users, but the server must still validate untrusted input.

Should I use it for email?

Usually type="email" is the better baseline; pattern is useful only for a narrower rule.
