API 🤖

verifyEmail(email: string): VerificationResult

Verifies an email address and returns a VerificationResult object.

Parameters

• email (string): The email address to verify.

Returns

A VerificationResult object with the following properties:

• isValid (boolean): Indicates whether the email is valid.
• category (string): The category of the email. Can be one of:
  • 'personal'
  • 'business'
  • 'educational'
  • 'disposable'
  • 'unknown'
• reason (string, optional): If the email is invalid, this provides a reason.

Examples 📝

Verifying a valid email

import { verifyEmail } from "verifymailjs";

const result = verifyEmail("[email protected]");
console.log(result);
// Output: { isValid: true, category: 'personal' }

Verifying an invalid email

import { verifyEmail } from "verifymailjs";

const result = verifyEmail("invalid-email");
console.log(result);
// Output: { isValid: false, category: 'unknown', reason: 'Invalid email format' }

Limitations 🚧

This library performs basic email validation and categorization based on predefined lists and patterns. It does not perform SMTP verification or check for the actual existence of the email address. For most use cases, this level of verification is sufficient and much faster than performing network-based checks.
