What are @hapi/address's main functionalities?

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 = '[e-mail]';
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

Other packages similar to @hapi/address

validator

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

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.

address is part of the hapi ecosystem and was designed to work seamlessly with the hapi web framework and its other components (but works great on its own or with other frameworks). If you are using a different web framework and find this module useful, check out hapi � they work even better together.
