Error : swift:15:28: Bound value in a conditional binding must be of Optional type

Answer 1

Yes your Error is below in XCode 6.1

This error is occurs because of if conditional have to Bool return type, but in Your if condition Return type is NSPredicate so that you got error swift: Bound value in a conditional binding must be of Optional type you can solve as below.

    var phoneTest = NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", PHONE_REGEX)          if phoneTest.evaluateWithObject(value) {                   return (true, .NoError)              }                  return (false, .PhoneNumber)             } 

Email-Validations in Swift.

    func isValidEmail(testStr:String) -> Bool {             print("validate emilId: \(testStr)")             let emailRegEx = "^(?:(?:(?:(?: )*(?:(?:(?:\\t| )*\\r\\n)?(?:\\t| )+))+(?: )*)|(?: )+)?(?:(?:(?:[-A-Za-z0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_'{|}~]+(?:\\.[-A-Za-z0-9!#$%&’*+/=?^_'{|}~]+)*)|(?:\"(?:(?:(?:(?: )*(?:(?:[!#-Z^-~]|\\[|\\])|(?:\\\\(?:\\t|[ -~]))))+(?: )*)|(?: )+)\"))(?:@)(?:(?:(?:[A-Za-z0-9](?:[-A-Za-z0-9]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?)(?:\\.[A-Za-z0-9](?:[-A-Za-z0-9]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?)*)|(?:\\[(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:[0-9]|(?:[1-9][0-9])|(?:1[0-9][0-9])|(?:2[0-4][0-9])|(?:25[0-5]))\\.){3}(?:[0-9]|(?:[1-9][0-9])|(?:1[0-9][0-9])|(?:2[0-4][0-9])|(?:25[0-5]))))|(?:(?:(?: )*[!-Z^-~])*(?: )*)|(?:[Vv][0-9A-Fa-f]+\\.[-A-Za-z0-9._~!$&'()*+,;=:]+))\\])))(?:(?:(?:(?: )*(?:(?:(?:\\t| )*\\r\\n)?(?:\\t| )+))+(?: )*)|(?: )+)?$"             let emailTest = NSPredicate(format:"SELF MATCHES %@", emailRegEx)             let result = emailTest.evaluateWithObject(testStr)             return result         }  

Use of Email-validation:

    if isValidEmail("[email protected]"){             print("Validate EmailID")         }         else{             print("invalide EmailID")         }

Swift 3.0 to 5.0 Updated Solution:

//MARK:- Validation Extension -

extension String {      //To check text field or String is blank or not     var isBlank: Bool {         get {             let trimmed = trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespaces)             return trimmed.isEmpty         }     }      //Validate Email      var isEmail: Bool {         do {             let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: "[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,}", options: .caseInsensitive)             return regex.firstMatch(in: self, options: NSRegularExpression.MatchingOptions(rawValue: 0), range: NSMakeRange(0, self.count)) != nil         } catch {             return false         }     }      var isAlphanumeric: Bool {         return !isEmpty && range(of: "[^a-zA-Z0-9]", options: .regularExpression) == nil     }      //validate Password     var isValidPassword: Bool {         do {             let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: "^[a-zA-Z_0-9\\-_,;.:#+*?=!§$%&/()@]+$", options: .caseInsensitive)             if(regex.firstMatch(in: self, options: NSRegularExpression.MatchingOptions(rawValue: 0), range: NSMakeRange(0, self.characters.count)) != nil){                  if(self.characters.count>=6 && self.count<=20){                     return true                 }else{                     return false                 }             }else{                 return false             }         } catch {             return false         }     } } 

use of Email Validation:

if(txtEmail.isEmail){ } 

Swift 2.0 Solution

Paste these line anywhere in code.(or in your Constant file)

extension String {      //To check text field or String is blank or not     var isBlank: Bool {         get {             let trimmed = stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceCharacterSet())             return trimmed.isEmpty         }     }      //Validate Email     var isEmail: Bool {         do {             let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: "[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,}", options: .CaseInsensitive)             return regex.firstMatchInString(self, options: NSMatchingOptions(rawValue: 0), range: NSMakeRange(0, self.count)) != nil         } catch {             return false         }     }      //validate PhoneNumber     var isPhoneNumber: Bool {          let charcter  = NSCharacterSet(charactersInString: "+0123456789").invertedSet         var filtered:NSString!         let inputString:NSArray = self.componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(charcter)         filtered = inputString.componentsJoinedByString("")         return  self == filtered      } }
