Advanced tools
The @hapi/address package is a utility library developed as part of the hapi.js framework. It is primarily used for validating and manipulating email and domain addresses. It provides robust validation techniques, ensuring that email and domain inputs conform to standards and are valid for use in various applications.
Email Validation
This feature allows developers to validate email addresses to ensure they meet specific criteria for a valid email format. The code sample demonstrates how to validate an email address using the isValid method.
const Address = require('@hapi/address');
const email = 'example@example.com';
const result = Address.email.isValid(email);
console.log(result); // outputs: true
Domain Validation
This feature enables the validation of domain names to ensure they are correctly formatted and valid. The code sample shows how to check the validity of a domain using the isValid method.
const Address = require('@hapi/address');
const domain = 'example.com';
const result = Address.domain.isValid(domain);
console.log(result); // outputs: true
Validator is a popular npm package used for string validations and sanitization. It provides a broader range of functionalities compared to @hapi/address, including not only email and domain validations but also other types like credit card numbers, postal codes, and more. However, @hapi/address is more specialized in handling email and domain-specific validations with possibly more tailored features for these types.
Email-validator is a simple and lightweight package specifically designed for email validation. Unlike @hapi/address, which includes domain validation as well, email-validator focuses solely on email address validation. It offers a straightforward approach which might be preferred in projects where only email validation is needed without the additional domain validation capabilities.
