node-validate-email

There are a lot of email validators out there; let's raise the bar a bit on quality. MIT licensed.

Wossis then?

I mean, it's exactly what it sounds like. This is an email address validator. Right now this is a clone of someone else's validator; the intent is to provide a point to be upgraded with time.

This library comes with a shootout to display which library does the best job for which validation.

The goal of this library is to provide RFC-5322 compliant validation. At this time, the author is unaware of a validator library which achieves the 60% valid mark against an admittedly borderline silly list of corner cases. However, the validator also fails certain common cases currently; donations are encouraged.

How do I shot web?

Pretty straightforward. Install the library, either with npm install node-validate-email --save or your mechanism of preference. Then, in your code:

var validator    = require('node-validate-email'),
    isBillGValid = validator('[email protected]'),
    validAsText  = isBillGValid? 'yes' : 'no';

window.alert('Is [email protected] a valid email? ' + validAsText);

Piece of cake.

Polemic :neckbeard:

node-validate-email is MIT licensed, because viral licenses and newspeak language modification are evil. Free is only free when it's free for everyone.
