This Python function, email_validator, checks if an input string is a valid email address
This is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that validates email addresses. It checks if an email address matches the regular expression for a valid email address and then prints a message indicating whether the email address is valid or not.
You can install this tool from PyPI:
pip install email_in_validate
You can use this tool in your terminal like this:
email_in_validate validate test@example.com
Replace test@example.com
with the email address you want to validate.
You can also use this tool in your login applications to validate user email addresses during authentication. Here's a basic example of how you can do this in a Python-based web application:
from email_in_validate import validate
def login(email, password):
if not validate(email):
return 'Invalid email address'
# Continue with your authentication logic...
