email-validator-qs

email-validator

A simple module to validate an email address.

The validator supports quoted-string for the "local" part of the email address (as stated in RFC3696).

• dot ., provided that it is not the first or last character unless quoted, and provided also that it does not appear consecutively unless quoted (e.g. [e-mail] is not allowed but "John..Doe"@example.com is allowed)

• space and special characters "(),:;<>@[] are allowed with restrictions (they are only allowed inside a quoted string, as described in the paragraph below, and in addition, a backslash or double-quote must be preceded by a backslash);

Installation

Install via NPM:

npm install email-validator-qs
