Email Address

Validates if a value is an email address.

Installation

$ npm install validate.io-email-address

For use in the browser, use browserify.

Usage

var isValid = require( 'validate.io-email-address' );

isValid( value )

Validates if a value is an email address.

var bool = isValid( '[email protected]' );
// returns true

Notes:

• Validation is not rigorous, nor should it be. 9 RFCs relate to email addresses, and accounting for all of them is a fool's errand. This module performs the simplest validation; i.e., requiring at least one @ symbol.
• For rigorous validation, send a confirmation email. If the email bounces, consider the email invalid.

Examples

var isValid = require( 'validate.io-email-address' );

console.log( isValid( '[email protected]') );
// returns true

console.log( isValid( 'beep' ) );
// returns false

console.log( isValid( 'beep.com' ) );
// returns false

console.log( isValid( null ) );
// returns false

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

$ node ./examples/index.js

Tests

Unit

Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

Test Coverage

This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-cov

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

$ make view-cov
