Multiple regular expression in angular js

Question

I have regular expression for each input field and I want to have all of them at one place - may be in one controller. I have tried it like this and I am not sure this is the right way of doing it

            {
                $scope.numOnlyRegex = /^\d{1,6}$/;
                $scope.firstNameAndLastName = /^[a-zA-Z]{3,20}$/;
                $scope.password= /^[a-zA-Z]{3,5}$/;
                $scope.mobile= /^[7-9][0-9]{1,9}$/;
                $scope.email= /\S+@\S+\.\S+/;
            });
        </script>
        <!--<script src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/numOnlyRegex.js"></script>-->

You can define constants

    angular.module('test').constant('regEx', {
       numOnlyRegex: '/^\d{1,6}$/',
       firstNameAndLastName: '/^[a-zA-Z]{3,20}$/',
       password: '/^[a-zA-Z]{3,5}$/',
       mobile: '/^[7-9][0-9]{1,9}$/',
       email: '/\S+@\S+\.\S+/'
    })

This constants can be injected into controllers/services/directives

.controller('TestCtrl', ['$scope','regEx', function ($scope,regEx) {
    $scope.numOnlyRegex = regEx.numOnlyRegex;
}])

EDIT

With constants you can create static variables that can be used in other controllers/services/directives.

In your example you can put all of your regular Expression in one constant object and use this in your whole application.

And then you can use it like this

ng-pattern expects a regex expression.

From Angular's documentation about ng-pattern :

Sets pattern validation error key if the value does not match the RegExp pattern expression. Expected value is /regexp/ for inline patterns or regexp for patterns defined as scope expressions.

In other words, you could create a RegExp in the controller:

$scope.numOnly= new RegExp(regEx.numOnlyRegex);

and use it:

<input ng-model="foo" ng-pattern="numOnly">
