My signup page is as follow. But i can get validation only for email field. For other rest of the two fields like username and password it is not working. And when a form is submitted successfully from server side then also an alert message of Form has errors. is displaying instead of Form submitted

Also, how can i make submit button disabled when there is no any input field is inserted ?

class Signup extends Component {
  constructor(props){
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      singupData: {
        username: '',
        email: '',
        password: '',
        errors: {}
      }
    }
    this.handleSignup = this.handleSignup.bind(this);
  }

  handleValidation(){
    let fields = this.state.singupData;
    let errors = {};
    let formIsValid = true;

    //Username
    if(!fields["username"]){
       formIsValid = false;
       errors["username"] = "Cannot be empty";
    }

    if(typeof fields["username"] !== "undefined"){
       if(!fields["username"].match(/^[a-zA-Z]+$/)){
          formIsValid = false;
          errors["username"] = "Only letters";
       }        
    }

    //Email
    if(!fields["email"]){
       formIsValid = false;
       errors["email"] = "Cannot be empty";
    }

    if(typeof fields["email"] !== "undefined"){
       let lastAtPos = fields["email"].lastIndexOf('@');
       let lastDotPos = fields["email"].lastIndexOf('.');

       if (!(lastAtPos < lastDotPos && lastAtPos > 0 && fields["email"].indexOf('@@') == -1 && lastDotPos > 2 && (fields["email"].length - lastDotPos) > 2)) {
          formIsValid = false;
          errors["email"] = "Email is not valid";
        }
    }

   if (!fields["password"]) {
    formIsValid = false;
    errors["password"] = "Please enter your password.";
  }

  if (typeof fields["password"] !== "undefined") {
    if (!fields["password"].match(/^.*(?=.{8,})(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[@#$%&]).*$/)) {
      formIsValid = false;
      errors["password"] = "Please enter secure and strong password.";
    }
  }

   this.setState({errors: errors});
   return formIsValid;
}

  handleChange(field, e){         
    let fields = this.state.singupData;
    fields[field] = e.target.value;       
    this.setState({fields});
  }

  authView() {
    let isRegister = this.props.isRegistered;
    if( isRegister === true ){
     return window.location.href = '/';
    } else{
      return this.signupView();
    }
  }

  handleSignup(event) {
    let that = this;
    const { SingupAction } = that.props;
    event.preventDefault();
    if(this.handleValidation()){
      alert("Form submitted");
    }else{
      alert("Form has errors.")
    }
    const data = new FormData(event.target);
    let signupInput = {
      username: data.get('username'),
      email: data.get('email'),
      password: data.get('password'),
    }
    that.setState({
      singupData: signupInput,
    })
    SingupAction(signupInput)
  }
