Disposable Email Detector

Overview

The disposable-email-detector is a TypeScript utility designed to identify disposable email addresses, providing developers with a tool to enhance email verification processes.

Features

• Domain Check: Identifies if an email address belongs to a known disposable email domain.
• Error Handling: Offers informative messages for scenarios like missing index.json or invalid JSON format.
• Async File Reading: Utilizes asynchronous file reading for improved performance.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm

Implementation Details

    npm i disposable-email-detector

    import  disposableEmailDetector  from 'disposable-email-detector';

    const email = '[email protected]';

    disposableEmailDetector(email)
        .then((response) => console.log(response)); //  true 

The disposableEmailDetector function reads a list of disposable email domains from index.json. It checks whether the provided email address belongs to a disposable domain and returns a boolean indicating the result.

Error Handling

• If index.json is not found, the script informs you to create it with disposable domains.
• If index.json has an invalid JSON format, it prompts you to correct the file.
• Unexpected errors are logged to the console.
