isEmail

True when text is an email address.

Details #

isEmail(value) is true for one plain address such as [email protected] (spaces around it are ignored). A name with angle brackets is not; use parseAddresses for those. It never fails, so it is safe in a condition.

Parameters #

Takes 1 argument. {{ isEmail(text) }}

Examples #

isEmail("[email protected]")

→ true

isEmail("jane@x")

→ false

Gotchas #

It checks the shape, not that the mailbox exists.
