comprehensive-email-checker

A comprehensive checker for email addresses

Currently checks:

1. Syntax - validate the address according to RFCs 5321, 5322, and others using hapijs/isemail.
2. Disposable addresses - test if the address is a disposable (temporary/throwaway) address, e.g. [email protected], using FGRibreau/mailchecker.
3. Suggestions - check for possible misspelling using mailcheck/mailcheck.

WIP:

1. Specific grammars of some email providers - some ESPs have their own set of rules, e.g. [email protected] cannot be a valid email address. Test using tepez/comprehensive-email-checker.
2. DNS

Usage

const EmailChecker = require('comprehensive-email-checker');

EmailChecker.validate('[email protected]').then((result) => {
    /**
    {
        isValid: true,
        isDisposableAddress: false,
        suggestion: null
    }
    **/
});

API

validate(address, options)

Return a promise that resolves with a results object containing. If the syntax of the email was not valid, then none of the other tests will run and the results object will be:

{
    isValid: false,
    suggestion: null,
    isDisposableAddress: null
}
```json

If the syntax is valid, then the results object will be:

{ isValid: true suggestion: An email address (string) if there is a suggestion or null if there is not isDisposableAddress: true/false this is a disposable address }
