How to validate an email address in JavaScript?
To validate an email address in JavaScript, we can use a regex.
For instance, we write
const validateEmail = (email) => {
const re = /\S+@\S+\.\S+/;
return re.test(email);
};
console.log(validateEmail("anystring@anystring.anystring"));
to define the validateEmail function that takes the email string.
In it, we define the re regex that matches the segments of the email.
\S+ matches any non space characters.
@ matches @. And “\S+.\S+/` matches the email domain.
Then we call re.test with email to validate that email is an email string.
