installation and usage instructions
Installation
Install the module through YARN:
yarn add @devmehq/email-validator-jsOr NPM
npm install @devmehq/email-validator-jsExamples
import { verifyEmail } from '@devmehq/email-validator-js';
const { validFormat, validSmtp, validMx } = await verifyEmail({ emailAddress: 'foo@email.com', verifyMx: true, verifySmtp: true, timeout: 3000 });
// validFormat: true
// validMx: true
// validSmtp: trueWhen a domain does not exist or has no MX records, the domain validation will fail, and the mailbox validation will return null because it could not be performed:
const { validFormat, validSmtp, validMx } = await verifyEmail({ emailAddress: 'foo@bad-domain.com', verifyMx: true, verifySmtp: true, timeout: 3000 });
// validFormat: true
// validMx: false
// validSmtp: nullA valid Yahoo domain will still return validSmtp true because their SMTP servers do not allow verifying if a mailbox exists.
Configuration options
timeout
Set a timeout in seconds for the smtp connection. Default: 10000.
verifyMx
Enable or disable domain checking. This is done in two steps:
- Verify that the domain does indeed exist;
- Verify that the domain has valid MX records.
Default:
false.
Enable or disable mailbox checking. Only a few SMTP servers allow this, and even then whether it works depends on your IP's reputation with those servers. This library performs a best effort validation:verifySmtp - It returns
nullfor Yahoo addresses, for failed connections, for unknown SMTP errors. - It returns
truefor valid SMTP responses. - It returns
falsefor SMTP errors specific to the address's formatting or mailbox existence. Default:false.
