TextInput validation while typing

$

I have a TextInput for a specific format of e-mail address, and have a regex to validate it. I would like to validate it while the user types, with the exact value on the TextInput box, but I'm not getting that.

What I have done is actually add that validation to the OnChangeText method of the TextInput object. The mechanics seems to work, but it is validating against the content 1 letter behind the current content.

Ex.: If I have typed "June" it will validate "Jun" only. If I delete the "e", then it will get "June" and subsequently.

Is that correct, or is there somewhere else I can call my validation to have the expected effects?

<TextInput
    placeholder='Type in your email'
    style={Styles.Input}
    onChangeText={(text) => {this.setLogin(text)}}
    value={ this.state.login }
    autoCompleteType={"email"}
    autoFocus={true}
/>
...
...
...
setLogin = (input) => {
    this.setState({login: input});
    console.log(this.state.login_regex.test(this.state.login));
    if (!this.state.login_regex.test(this.state.login)) {
        this.setState({login_msg: "Use an internal mail address"});
    } else {
        this.setState({login_msg: ""});
    };
};
