validate email javascript
To validate an email address in JavaScript using Node.js, you can follow these steps:
- Import the built-in
email-validator
module:
const validator = require('email-validator');
This step imports the email-validator
module, which provides a set of functions to validate email addresses.
- Use the
validator.validate()
function to check if the email is valid:
const isValidEmail = validator.validate('[email protected]');
In this step, you pass the email address you want to validate as an argument to the validate()
function. The function returns a boolean value indicating whether the email address is valid or not.
- Check the value returned by the
validate()
function:
if (isValidEmail) {
// Email is valid
} else {
// Email is invalid
}
Based on the value returned by the validate()
function, you can perform different actions or validations. If the email is valid, you can proceed with further processing or display a success message. If the email is invalid, you can display an error message or prompt the user to enter a valid email address.
Here is the complete code example:
const validator = require('email-validator');
const email = '[email protected]';
const isValidEmail = validator.validate(email);
if (isValidEmail) {
console.log('Email is valid');
} else {
console.log('Email is invalid');
}
This code imports the email-validator
module, validates the email address provided, and logs a message indicating whether the email is valid or not. You can replace '[email protected]'
with the email address you want to validate.
By following these steps, you can use the email-validator
module in Node.js to validate email addresses.
