[javascript] How to validate an email address in JavaScript

Is there a regular expression to validate an email address in JavaScript?

I prefer to keep it simple and keep my users happy. I also prefer code which is easy to understand. RegEx is not.

function isValidEmail(value) {
    const atLocation = value.lastIndexOf("@");
    const dotLocation = value.lastIndexOf("."); 
    return (
        atLocation > 0 &&
        dotLocation > atLocation + 1 &&
        dotLocation < value.length - 1
    );
};

• Get the location of the last "@" and the last "."
• Make sure the "@" is not the first char (there is something before it)
• Make sure the "." is after the "@" and that there is at least one char between them
• Make sure there is at least a single char after the "."

Will this allow invalid email addresses to pass? Sure, but I don't think you need much more for a good user experience that allows you to enable/disable a button, display an error message, etc. You only know for sure that an email address is valid when you attempt to send an email to that address.

Wikipedia standard mail syntax :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Examples https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adresse_%C3%A9lectronique#Syntaxe_exacte

function validMail(mail)
{
    return /^(([^<>()\[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@(([^<>()\.,;\s@\"]+\.{0,1})+([^<>()\.,;:\s@\"]{2,}|[\d\.]+))$/.test(mail);
}

// VALID MAILS

You should not use regular expressions to validate an input string to check if it's an email. It's too complicated and would not cover all the cases.

Now since you can only cover 90% of the cases, write something like:

function isPossiblyValidEmail(txt) {
   return txt.length > 5 && txt.indexOf('@')>0;
}

You can refine it. For instance, 'aaa@' is valid. But overall you get the gist. And don't get carried away... A simple 90% solution is better than 100% solution that does not work.

The world needs simpler code...

I've mixed @mevius and @Boldewyn Code to Create this ultimate code for email verification using JavaScript.

function ValidateEmail(email){_x000D_
 _x000D_
  var re = /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;_x000D_
 _x000D_
  var input = document.createElement('input');_x000D_
 _x000D_
  input.type = 'email';_x000D_
  input.value = email;_x000D_
 _x000D_
  return typeof input.checkValidity == 'function' ? input.checkValidity() : re.test(email);_x000D_
 _x000D_
}

I have shared this code on my blog here.

Following Regex validations:

• No spacial characters before @
• (-) and (.) should not be together after @
• No special characters after @ 2 characters must before @

• Email length should be less 128 characters

  function validateEmail(email) {
      var chrbeforAt = email.substr(0, email.indexOf('@'));
      if (!($.trim(email).length > 127)) {
          if (chrbeforAt.length >= 2) {
              var re = /^(([^<>()[\]{}'^?\\.,!|//#%*-+=&;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?/;
              return re.test(email);
          } else {
              return false;
          }
      } else {
          return false;
      }
  }
  

I was looking for a Regex in JS that passes all Email Address test cases:

• [email protected] Valid email

• [email protected] Email contains dot in the address field

• [email protected] Email contains dot with subdomain

• [email protected] Plus sign is considered valid character

• [email protected] Domain is valid IP address

• email@[192.0.2.123] Square bracket around IP address is considered valid

• “email”@example.com Quotes around email is considered valid

• [email protected] Digits in address are valid

• [email protected] Dash in domain name is valid

• [email protected] Underscore in the address field is valid

• [email protected] .name is valid Top Level Domain name

• [email protected] Dot in Top Level Domain name also considered valid (using co.jp as example here)

• [email protected] Dash in address field is valid

Here we go :

http://regexr.com/3f07j

OR regex:

Regex = /(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@[*[a-zA-Z0-9-]+.[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+]*/

You cold use https://github.com/chriso/validator.js and simply do:

var validator = require('validator');

validator.isEmail('[email protected]'); //=> true

Note that this can work on the client.

Validation regex for email:

var rex_email = /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;

if(email=="") {
    window.plugins.toast.showShortBottom( "Please enter the details. ", function(a) {
        console.log('toast success: ' + a);
    }, function(b) { });
} else if(!rex_email.test(email)) {
    window.plugins.toast.showShortBottom( "Please enter the valid email id. ", function(a) {
        console.log('toast success: ' + a);
    }, function(b) { });
}

I've slightly modified Jaymon's answer for people who want really simple validation in the form of:

[email protected]

The regular expression:

/\S+@\S+\.\S+/

To prevent matching multiple @ signs:

/^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+$/

Example JavaScript function:

function validateEmail(email) 
    {
        var re = /\S+@\S+\.\S+/;
        return re.test(email);
    }
    
console.log(validateEmail('[email protected]'));

I'm really looking forward to solve this problem. So I modified email validation regular expression above

• Original
  /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/

• Modified
  /^(([^<>()\[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@(([^<>()\.,;\s@\"]+\.{0,1})+[^<>()\.,;:\s@\"]{2,})$/

to pass the examples in Wikipedia Email Address.

And you can see the result in here.

Following regular expression:

/^([\w]+)(.[\w]+)*@([\w]+)(.[\w]{2,3}){1,2}$/;

If you want something a human can read and maintain, I would recommend Masala Parser (I'm one of the creators of it).

import {C,Streams} from '@masala/parser'

const illegalCharset = ' @\u00A0\n\t';
const extendedIllegalCharset = illegalCharset + '.';


// Assume '[email protected]'
export function simpleEmail() {

    return C.charNotIn(illegalCharset).rep() // 'nicolas'
        .then(C.char('@'))
        .then(subDns())  //'internal.masala.co.'
        .then(C.charNotIn(extendedIllegalCharset).rep()) //'uk'
        .eos(); // Must be end of the char stream
}

// [email protected] => extract 'internal.masala.co.'
function  subDns() {
    return C.charNotIn(extendedIllegalCharset).rep().then(C.char('.')).rep()
}

function validateEmail(email:string) {
    console.log(email + ': ' + (simpleEmail().parse(Streams.ofString(email)).isAccepted()));
}


validateEmail('[email protected]'); // True
validateEmail('nz@co.'); // False, trailing "."

If you want to accept the ultimate ugly email version, you can add in quotes in the first part:

function inQuote() {
    return C.char('"')
        .then(C.notChar('"').rep())
        .then(C.char('"'))
}

function allEmail() {

    return inQuote().or(C.charNotIn(illegalCharset))
        .rep() // repeat (inQuote or anyCharacter)
        .then(C.char('@'))
        .then(subDns())
        .then(C.charNotIn(extendedIllegalCharset).rep())
        .eos() // Must be end of the character stream
        // Create a structure
        .map(function (characters) { return ({ email: characters.join('') }); });
}

'"nicolas""love-quotes"@masala.co.uk' is officially valid, but should it be in your system?

At least with Masala, you give yourself a chance to understand it. And so for the next year, colleague.

Now ReactNative Version 0.46 Use Below code for email Validation.

 validateEmail = (email) => {
     var re = /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
     if (re.test(email)) {
     } else {
       alert('email: ' + "Please enter valid emailID.")
     }
 }

You can use this regex (from w3resource (*not related to W3C)):

/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test(emailValue)

If you use Node you can use this in the back-end as well as the front-end.

I don't know other back-end languages so I cannot evaluate for other use cases.

If you are using AngularJS, just add type="email" to the input element:

https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/input/input%5Bemail%5D

In case there is no input element, it can be created dynamically:

var isEmail = $compile('<input ng-model="m" type="email">')($rootScope.$new()).
    controller('ngModel').$validators["email"];

if (isEmail('[email protected]')) {
  console.log('valid');
} 

I add my Regex - i solved for me more little issues like characters from other languages or capital letters

^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-_\.]+@([a-zA-Z]|[a-zA-Z0-9]?[a-zA-Z0-9-]+[a-zA-Z0-9])\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,10}(?:\.[a-zA-Z]{2,10})?$

Here is the recommended Regex pattern for HTML5 on MDN:

Browsers that support the email input type automatically provide validation to ensure that only text that matches the standard format for Internet e-mail addresses is entered into the input box. Browsers that implement the specification should be using an algorithm equivalent to the following regular expression:

/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}
[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$/

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/email#Validation

Regex update 2018! try this

let val = '[email protected]';
if(/^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-_\.]+@([a-z]|[a-z0-9]?[a-z0-9-]+[a-z0-9])\.[a-z0-9]{2,10}(?:\.[a-z]{2,10})?$/.test(val)) {
   console.log('passed');
}

typscript version complete

//
export const emailValid = (val:string):boolean => /^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-_\.]+@([a-z]|[a-z0-9]?[a-z0-9-]+[a-z0-9])\.[a-z0-9]{2,10}(?:\.[a-z]{2,10})?$/.test(val);

General email regex (RFC 5322 Official Standard): https://emailregex.com/

JavaScript:

/^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/

 <input type="email" class="form-control" required="required" placeholder="Email Address" name="Email" id="Email" autocomplete="Email">
 <button class="btn-1 shadow-0 full-width" type="button" id="register">Register account</button>

 $("#register").click(function(){       
    var rea = /^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$/;
    var Email = $("#Email").val();
    var x = rea.test(Email);
    if (!x) {
        alert('Type Your valid Email');
        return false;
    }           
 </script>

for email validation you can create your custom function and use regex syntax for validate email:

function validateEmail(email){
        var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/;

       //your custom code here to check your email address 

}

Do this:

[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])?

Why? It's based on RFC 2822, which is a standard ALL email addresses MUST adhere to. And I'm not sure why you'd bother with something "simpler"... you're gonna copy and paste it anyway ;)

Often when storing email addresses in the database I make them lowercase and, in practice, regexs can usually be marked case insensitive. In those cases this is slightly shorter:

[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?

Here's an example of it being used in JavaScript (with the case insensitive flag i at the end).

var emailCheck=/^[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?$/i;
console.log( emailCheck.test('[email protected]') );

Note:
Technically some emails can include quotes in the section before the @ symbol with escape characters inside the quotes (so your email user can be obnoxious and contain stuff like @ and "..." as long as it's written in quotes). NOBODY DOES THIS EVER! It's obsolete. But, it IS included in the true RFC 2822 standard, and omitted here.

More info: http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html

If you define your regular expression as a string then all backslashes need to be escaped, so instead of '\w' you should have '\w'.

Alternatively, define it as a regular expression:

var pattern = /^\w+@[a-zA-Z_]+?\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}$/; 

It's hard to get an email validator 100% correct. The only real way to get it correct would be to send a test email to the account. That said, there are a few basic checks that can help make sure that you're getting something reasonable.

Some things to improve:

Instead of new RegExp, just try writing the regexp out like this:

if (reg.test(/@/))

Second, check to make sure that a period comes after the @ sign, and make sure that there are characters between the @s and periods.

ES6 sample

const validateEmail=(email)=> /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/.test(email);

You could also use RegExp:

function validateEmail(str) {
    return new RegExp(/([\w\.\-_]+)?\w+@[\w-_]+(\.\w+){1,}/, 'igm').test(str);
}

See the Regular Expressions guide on MDN for more info.

I am using this function

/**
 * @param {*} email
 */
export const validateEmail = email => {
    return new RegExp(/[\w-]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+/gm).test(email);
};

In nodeJS you can also use validator node module and simply use like that

Install the library with npm install validator

var validator = require('validator');

validator.isEmail('[email protected]'); //=> true 

Regex for validating email address

[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])+

This works for me:

function Email(mail)
{
 if (/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test(myForm.emailAddr.value))
  {
    return (true)
  }
    alert("Invalid email address!")
    return (false)
}

Sectrean's solution works great, but it was failing my linter. So I added some escapes:

function validateEmail(email){ 
     var re = /^(([^<>()[]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@(([[0-9]{1,3}\??.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/; 
     return re.test(email); 
}

These will work with the top used emails(they match exactly the rules of each one).

Gmail
/^[a-z]((?!\.\.)([a-z\.])){4,28}[a-z0-9]@gmail.com$/i

Yahoo
/^[a-z]((?!\.\.)([\w\.])){3,30}[\w]@yahoo.com$/i

Outlook/Hotmail
/[a-z]((?!\.\.)([\w\.])){0,62}[\w]@(outlook.com|hotmail.com)$/i

Apparently, that's it:

/^([\w\!\#$\%\&\'\*\+\-\/\=\?\^\`{\|\}\~]+\.)*[\w\!\#$\%\&\'\*\+\-\/\=\?\^\`{\|\}\~]+@((((([a-z0-9]{1}[a-z0-9\-]{0,62}[a-z0-9]{1})|[a-z])\.)+[a-z]{2,6})|(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}(\:\d{1,5})?)$/i

Taken from http://fightingforalostcause.net/misc/2006/compare-email-regex.php on Oct 1 '10.

But, of course, that's ignoring internationalization.

Wow there are a lot of answers that contain slightly different regular expressions. I've tried some many that I've got different results and a variety of different issues with all of them.

For UI validation, I'm good with the most basic check of looking for an @ sign. It's important to note, that I always do server-side validation with a standard "validate email" that contains a unique link for the user to confirm their email address.

if (email.indexOf('@') > 0)

I have purposely chosen 0 even with zero-based as it also ensures there is a single character before the @.

Wow, there are lots of complexity here. If all you want to do is just catch the most obvious syntax errors, I would do something like this:

^\S+@\S+$

It usually catches the most obvious errors that the user makes and assures that the form is mostly right, which is what JavaScript validation is all about.

HTML5 itself has email validation. If your browser supports HTML5 then you can use the following code.

<form><input type="email" placeholder="[email protected]" required>
    <input type="submit">
</form>

jsFiddle link

From the HTML5 spec:

A valid e-mail address is a string that matches the email production of the following ABNF, the character set for which is Unicode.

email   = 1*( atext / "." ) "@" label *( "." label )
label   = let-dig [ [ ldh-str ] let-dig ]  ; limited to a length of 63 characters by RFC 1034 section 3.5
atext   = < as defined in RFC 5322 section 3.2.3 >
let-dig = < as defined in RFC 1034 section 3.5 >
ldh-str = < as defined in RFC 1034 section 3.5 >

This requirement is a willful violation of RFC 5322, which defines a syntax for e-mail addresses that is simultaneously too strict (before the "@" character), too vague (after the "@" character), and too lax (allowing comments, whitespace characters, and quoted strings in manners unfamiliar to most users) to be of practical use here.

The following JavaScript- and Perl-compatible regular expression is an implementation of the above definition.

/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$/

One of my coworker shared this regex with me. I like it a lot.

function isValidEmailAddress (email) {
    var validEmail = false;
    if (email) {
        email = email.trim().toLowerCase();
        var pattern = /^[\w-']+(\.[\w-']+)*@([a-zA-Z0-9]+[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*?\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}|(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3})(:\d{4})?$/;
        validEmail = pattern.exec(email);
    }

    return validEmail;
}

if (typeof String.prototype.trim !== 'function') {
    String.prototype.trim = function() {
        return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
    };
}

My knowledge of regular expressions is not that good. That's why I check the general syntax with a simple regular expression first and check more specific options with other functions afterwards. This may not be not the best technical solution, but this way I'm way more flexible and faster.

The most common errors I've come across are spaces (especially at the beginning and end) and occasionally a double dot.

function check_email(val){
    if(!val.match(/\S+@\S+\.\S+/)){ // Jaymon's / Squirtle's solution
        // Do something
        return false;
    }
    if( val.indexOf(' ')!=-1 || val.indexOf('..')!=-1){
        // Do something
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

check_email('check@thiscom'); // Returns false
check_email('[email protected]'); // Returns false
check_email(' [email protected]'); // Returns false
check_email('[email protected]'); // Returns true

This is a JavaScript translation of the validation suggested by the official Rails guide used by thousands of websites:

/^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i

Relatively simple but tests against most common errors.

Tested on a dataset of thousands of emails and it had zero false negatives/positives.

Example usage:

const emailRegex = /^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i;

emailRegex.test('[email protected]');    // true

// Multi-word domains
emailRegex.test('[email protected]');  // true
emailRegex.test('[email protected]'); // true

// Valid special characters
emailRegex.test('unusual+but+valid+email1900=/!#$%&\'*+-/=?^_`.{|}[email protected]') // true

// Trailing dots
emailRegex.test('[email protected].'); // false

// No domain
emailRegex.test('email@example');        // false

// Leading space
emailRegex.test(' [email protected]');   // false

// Trailing space
emailRegex.test('[email protected] ');   // false

// Incorrect domains
emailRegex.test('email@example,com ');   // false

// Other invalid emails
emailRegex.test('invalid.email.com')        // false
emailRegex.test('invalid@[email protected]') // false
emailRegex.test('[email protected]')       // false

You may try RegExp

function isValidEmail( value ) {_x000D_
 return /^[\w\-\.\+]+\@[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-zA-z0-9]{2,5}$/.test( value );_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log( isValidEmail("[email protected]") )

Here is a very good discussion about using regular expressions to validate email addresses; "Comparing E-mail Address Validating Regular Expressions"

Here is the current top expression, that is JavaScript compatible, for reference purposes:

/^[-a-z0-9~!$%^&*_=+}{\'?]+(\.[-a-z0-9~!$%^&*_=+}{\'?]+)*@([a-z0-9_][-a-z0-9_]*(\.[-a-z0-9_]+)*\.(aero|arpa|biz|com|coop|edu|gov|info|int|mil|museum|name|net|org|pro|travel|mobi|[a-z][a-z])|([0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}))(:[0-9]{1,5})?$/i

I have found this to be the best solution:

/^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/

It allows the following formats:

1.  [email protected]
2.  [email protected]
3.  [email protected]
4.  [email protected]
9.  #!$%&'*+-/=?^_`{}|[email protected]
6.  "()[]:,;@\\\"!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{}| ~.a"@example.org
7.  " "@example.org (space between the quotes)
8.  üñîçøðé@example.com (Unicode characters in local part)
9.  üñîçøðé@üñîçøðé.com (Unicode characters in domain part)
10. Pelé@example.com (Latin)
11. d???µ?@pa??de??µa.d???µ? (Greek)
12. ??@??.?? (Chinese)
13. ??@??.?? (Japanese)
14. ?????????@????-?-???????????.?? (Cyrillic)

It's clearly versatile and allows the all-important international characters, while still enforcing the basic [email protected] format. It will block spaces which are technically allowed by RFC, but they are so rare that I'm happy to do this.

All email addresses contain an 'at' (i.e. @) symbol. Test that necessary condition:

email.indexOf("@") > 0

Don't bother with anything more complicated. Even if you could perfectly determine whether an email is RFC-syntactically valid, that wouldn't tell you whether it belongs to the person who supplied it. That's what really matters.

To test that, send a validation message.

This is how node-validator does it:

/^(?:[\w\!\#\$\%\&\'\*\+\-\/\=\?\^\`\{\|\}\~]+\.)*[\w\!\#\$\%\&\'\*\+\-\/\=\?\^\`\{\|\}\~]+@(?:(?:(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9\-](?!\.)){0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]?\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9\-](?!$)){0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]?)|(?:\[(?:(?:[01]?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}(?:[01]?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\]))$/

I wrote a JavaScript email validator which is fully compatile with PHP's filter_var($value, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) implementation.

https://github.com/mpyw/FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL.js

import validateEmail from 'filter-validate-email'

const value = '...'
const result = validateEmail(value)

is equivalent to:

<?php

$value = '...';
$result = (bool)filter_var($value, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL, FILTER_FLAG_EMAIL_UNICODE);

function validatecontactEmail(email) { 

 if (/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test(email))  
  {  
    return (true)  
  }  

    return (false)  

}

There is my version of an email validator. This code is done with object-oriented programming and realized as a class with static methods. You will find two versions of the validators: strict(EmailValidator.validate) and kind(EmailValidator.validateKind).

The first throws an error if an email is invalid and returns email otherwise. The second returns Boolean value that says if an email is valid. I prefer the strict version in most of the cases.

export class EmailValidator {
    /**
     * @param {string} email
     * @return {string}
     * @throws {Error}
     */
    static validate(email) {
        email = this.prepareEmail(email);

        const isValid = this.validateKind(email);

        if (isValid)
            return email;

        throw new Error(`Got invalid email: ${email}.`);
    }

    /**
     * @param {string} email
     * @return {boolean}
     */
    static validateKind(email) {
        email = this.prepareEmail(email);

        const regex = this.getRegex();

        return regex.test(email);
    }

    /**
     * @return {RegExp}
     * @private
     */
    static getRegex() {
        return /^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
    }

    /**
     * @param {string} email
     * @return {string}
     * @private
     */
    static prepareEmail(email) {
        return String(email).toLowerCase();
    }
}

To validate an email you can follow these ways:

// First way.

try {
    EmailValidator.validate('[email protected]');
} catch (e) {
    console.error(e.message);
}

// Second way.

const email = '[email protected]';
const isValid = EmailValidator.validateKind(email);

if (isValid)
    console.log(`Email is valid: ${email}.`);
else
    console.log(`Email is invalid: ${email}.`);

You can also try

var string = "[email protected]"
var exp = /(\w(=?@)\w+\.{1}[a-zA-Z]{2,})/i
alert(exp.test(string))

Here's how I do it. I'm using match() to check for the standard email pattern and I'm adding a class to the input text to notify the user accordingly. Hope that helps!

$(document).ready(function(){_x000D_
  $('#submit').on('click', function(){_x000D_
      var email = $('#email').val();_x000D_
      var pat = /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/;_x000D_
      if (email.match(pat)){_x000D_
        $('#email')_x000D_
          .addClass('input-valid');_x000D_
        return false;_x000D_
      } else {_x000D_
        $('#email')_x000D_
         .addClass('input-error')_x000D_
          .val('');_x000D_
        return false;_x000D_
      }_x000D_
  });_x000D_
});

.input-error {_x000D_
  border: 1px solid red;_x000D_
  color: red;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.input-valid {_x000D_
  border: 1px solid green;_x000D_
  color: green;_x000D_
}

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<form>_x000D_
    <input type="text" id="email" placeholder="[email protected]" class="">_x000D_
    <input type="submit" id="submit" value="Send"/>_x000D_
</form>

the best one :D (RFC-friendly & no error "too complex") :

function    isMail(mail)
{
    pattuser = /^([A-Z0-9_%+\-!#$&'*\/=?^`{|}~]+\.?)*[A-Z0-9_%+\-!#$&'*\/=?^`{|}~]+$/i;
    pattdomain = /^([A-Z0-9-]+\.?)*[A-Z0-9-]+(\.[A-Z]{2,9})+$/i;

    tab = mail.split("@");
    if (tab.length != 2)
        return false;
    return (pattuser.test(tab[0]) && pattdomain.test(tab[1]));
}

I'd like to add a short note about non-ASCII characters. Rnevius's (and co.) solution is brilliant, but it allows to add Cyrillic, Japanese, Emoticons and other unicode symbols which may be restricted by some servers.

The code below will print true though it contains UTF-8 character ?.

console.log (/^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/.test ('[email protected]'))

In my case all non-ASCII symbols are prohibited so I have modified the original expression to exclude all characters above U+007F:

/^(([^\u0080-\uffff<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^\u0080-\uffff<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/

Maybe this will help someone to prevent undesired behaviour.

function validateEmail(elementValue){        
    var emailPattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+@[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/;  
    return emailPattern.test(elementValue);   
  }   

It returns true if the email address is valid. Otherwise, it will return false.

The personal_info part contains the following ASCII characters.

1. Uppercase (A-Z) and lowercase (a-z) English letters. Digits (0-9).
2. Characters ! # $ % & ' * + - / = ? ^ _ ` { | } ~
3. Character . ( period, dot or fullstop) provided that it is not the first or last character and it will not come one after the other.

The domain name [for example com, org, net, in, us, info] part contains letters, digits, hyphens, and dots.

 function ValidateEmail(mail) 
{
 if (/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test(myForm.emailAddr.value))
  {
    return (true)
  }
    alert("You have entered an invalid email address!")
    return (false)
}

There are some complex RegEx written here, that also works.

I tested this one and it works too:

[a-zA-Z0-9._]+[@]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+[.]+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}

Please test this here : http://www.regextester.com/?fam=97334

Hope this helps.

In contrast to squirtle, here is a complex solution, but it does a mighty fine job of validating emails properly:

function isEmail(email) { 
    return /^((([a-z]|\d|[!#\$%&'\*\+\-\/=\?\^_`{\|}~]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])+(\.([a-z]|\d|[!#\$%&'\*\+\-\/=\?\^_`{\|}~]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])+)*)|((\x22)((((\x20|\x09)*(\x0d\x0a))?(\x20|\x09)+)?(([\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x7f]|\x21|[\x23-\x5b]|[\x5d-\x7e]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(\\([\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0d-\x7f]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF]))))*(((\x20|\x09)*(\x0d\x0a))?(\x20|\x09)+)?(\x22)))@((([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])*([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])))\.)+(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])*([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])))$/i.test(email);
} 

Use like so:

if (isEmail('[email protected]')){ console.log('This is email is valid'); }

In modern browsers you can build on top of @Sushil's answer with pure JavaScript and the DOM:

function validateEmail(value) {
  var input = document.createElement('input');

  input.type = 'email';
  input.required = true;
  input.value = value;

  return typeof input.checkValidity === 'function' ? input.checkValidity() : /\S+@\S+\.\S+/.test(value);
}

I've put together an example in the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/boldewyn/2b6d5/. Combined with feature detection and the bare-bones validation from Squirtle's Answer, it frees you from the regular expression massacre and does not bork on old browsers.

<form name="validation" onSubmit="return checkbae()">
    Please input a valid email address:<br />

    <input type="text" size=18 name="emailcheck">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
    var testresults
    function checkemail(){
        var str = document.validation.emailcheck.value
        var filter = /^([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$/i
        if (filter.test(str))
            testresults = true
        else {
            alert("Please input a valid email address!")
            testresults = false
        }
        return (testresults)
    }
</script>

<script>
    function checkbae(){
        if (document.layers || document.getElementById || document.all)
            return checkemail()
        else
            return true
    }
</script>

Very simple in JavaScript. follow this code.

function validate(){
    var email = document.getElementById('Email');
    var filter = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;

    if (!filter.test(email.value))
    {
        alert('Please Enter the valid email address');
        email.focus;
        return false;
    }
    else
{
        return true;
    }

HTML code for this:

form name="form"
     enctype="multipart/form-data"
     name="form"
     action="register.php"
     method="POST" onsubmit="return validate();" >
    <input type="text" placeholder="Enter ur Email Id" id="Email" name="Email" />
    <input type="submit" id="submit" value="save" name="Like" class="button" />
</form>

Most of the answers here are not linter friendly, it's a mess! Some of them are also out-dated! After a lot of time spending, I decided to use an external library named email-validator, install it easily by npm for example and import/require it in your own project:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/email-validator

//NodeJs
const validator = require("email-validator");
validator.validate("[email protected]"); // true

//TypeScript/JavaScript
import * as EmailValidator from 'email-validator';
EmailValidator.validate("[email protected]"); // true

The regular expression provided by Microsoft within ASP.NET MVC is

/^[\w-]+(\.[\w-]+)*@([a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*?\.[a-z]{2,6}|(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3})(:\d{4})?$/

Which I post here in case it's flawed - though it's always been perfect for my needs.

If you get this error: Using regular expressions is security-sensitive.

Then here is what you are looking for.This solution is free from " Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) "

Regex to validate emails without (ReDoS):

/^[a-z0-9](?!.*?[^\na-z0-9]{2})[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+[a-z0-9]$/

Please let me know if this solutions works for you. Thanks.

Use the browser/runtime to handle parsing the input by prepending a protocol and pass it to the URL API, trapping any errors and check the resulting username and hostname properties of the result. It will handle basically all transformations and possibilities (punycode of character sets, etc). This only establishes that the input is parsable, not that is valid--that is only possible through checking if the destination machine receives messages for that alias. This provides a close (imo reasonable) guess though, and can be expanded to be more specific and realistic if you're comfortable both maintaining it and also risking invalid rejections. (Note it doesn't attempt to address IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, simply the broad range of customer-facing scenarios using a domain.)

function validEmail(email=''){
    var $0, url, isValid = false, emailPatternInput = /^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{4,253}$/, emailPatternUrl = /^[^@]{1,64}@[a-z][a-z0-9\.-]{3,252}$/i;
    email = email.trim();
    try{
        url = new URL('http://'+email);
        $0 = `${url.username}@${url.hostname}`;
        isValid = emailPatternInput.test( email );
        if(!isValid) throw 'invalid email pattern on input:' + email;
        isValid = emailPatternUrl.test( $0 );
        if(!isValid) throw 'invalid email pattern on url:' + $0;
        console.log(`email looks legit "${email}" checking url-parts: "${$0 === email ? '-SAME-':$0}"`);
    }catch(err){
        console.error(`probably not an email address: "${email}"`, err);
    };
    return isValid;
}

['user+this@?????.???', 'stuff@things', '[email protected]', 'Jean+Franç[email protected]','???@?????', '?@??.??.????.???????', 'not@@really', 'no'].forEach(email=>console.log(validEmail(email), email));

This is the both the simplest and most generally permissive example I can come up with. Please edit it in cases where it can be made to be more accurate while maintain its simplicity and reasonable generally permissive validity.

This question is more dificult to answer than seems at first sight.

There were loads of people around the world looking for "the regex to rule them all" but the truth is that there are tones of email providers.

What's the problem? Well, "a_z%@gmail.com cannot exists but it may exists an address like that through another provider "[email protected].

Why? According to the RFC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#RFC_specification.

I'll take an excerpt to facilitate the lecture:

The local-part of the email address may use any of these ASCII characters:

- uppercase and lowercase Latin letters A to Z and a to z;
- digits 0 to 9;
- special characters !#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~;
- dot ., provided that it is not the first or last character unless quoted, and provided also that it does not appear consecutively unless quoted (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed but "John..Doe"@example.com is allowed);[6]
Note that some mail servers wildcard local parts, typically the characters following a plus and less often the characters following a minus, so fred+bah@domain and fred+foo@domain might end up in the same inbox as fred+@domain or even as fred@domain. This can be useful for tagging emails for sorting, see below, and for spam control. Braces { and } are also used in that fashion, although less often.
- space and "(),:;<>@[\] characters are allowed with restrictions (they are only allowed inside a quoted string, as described in the paragraph below, and in addition, a backslash or double-quote must be preceded by a backslash);
- comments are allowed with parentheses at either end of the local-part; e.g. john.smith(comment)@example.com and (comment)[email protected] are both equivalent to [email protected].

So, i can own an email address like that:

A__z/J0hn.sm{it!}[email protected]

If you try this address i bet it will fail in all or the major part of regex posted all across the net. But remember this address follows the RFC rules so it's fair valid.

Imagine my frustration at not being able to register anywhere checked with those regex!!

The only one who really can validate an email address is the provider of the email address.

How to deal with, so?

It doesn't matter if a user adds a non-valid e-mail in almost all cases. You can rely on HTML 5 input type="email" that is running near to RFC, little chance to fail. HTML5 input type="email" info: https://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html-markup-20121011/input.email.html

For example, this is an RFC valid email:

"very.(),:;<>[]\".VERY.\"very@\\ \"very\".unusual"@strange.example.com

But the html5 validation will tell you that the text before @ must not contain " or () chars for example, which is actually incorrect.

Anyway, you should do this by accepting the email address and sending an email message to that email address, with a code/link the user must visit to confirm validity.

A good practice while doing this is the "enter your e-mail again" input to avoid user typing errors. If this is not enough for you, add a pre-submit modal-window with a title "is this your current e-mail?", then the mail entered by the user inside an h2 tag, you know, to show clearly which e-mail they entered, then a "yes, submit" button.

In my case, I wanted to avoid ~ and # that's why I have used another solution:

function validEmail(email){
  const regex = /^((?!\.)[\w-_.]*[^.])(@\w+)(\.\w+(\.\w+)?[^.\W])$/;
  return regex.test(email);
}

function validEmail(email){
  const regex = /^((?!\.)[\w-_.]*[^.])(@\w+)(\.\w+(\.\w+)?[^.\W])$/;
  return regex.test(email);
}

const emails = [
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
'pio_#[email protected]',
'pio_pio@#factory.com',
'[email protected]#om',
'[email protected]*om',
'pio^[email protected]'
]

for(const email of emails){
  document.write(email+' : '+validEmail(email)+'</br>');
}

If you are using ng-pattern and material this does the job.

vm.validateEmail = '([a-zA-Z0-9_.]{1,})((@[a-zA-Z]{2,})[\\\.]([a-zA-Z]{2}|[a-zA-Z]{3}))';

Here is a function I use for front end email validation. (The Regular Expression came from parsley.js)

Following Regex validations:

• No spacial characters before @
• (-) and (.) should not be together after @ No special characters after @ 2 characters must before @ Email length should be less 128 characters

function validateEmail(email) {
var chrbeforAt = email.substr(0, email.indexOf('@'));
if (!($.trim(email).length > 127)) {
    if (chrbeforAt.length >= 2) {
        var re = /^(([^<>()[\]{}'^?\\.,!|//#%*-+=&;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?/;

        return re.test(email);

Search for the @ sign in the input field.

Just for completeness, here you have another RFC 2822 compliant regex

The official standard is known as RFC 2822. It describes the syntax that valid email addresses must adhere to. You can (but you shouldn't — read on) implement it with this regular expression:

(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])

(...) We get a more practical implementation of RFC 2822 if we omit the syntax using double quotes and square brackets. It will still match 99.99% of all email addresses in actual use today.

[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?

A further change you could make is to allow any two-letter country code top level domain, and only specific generic top level domains. This regex filters dummy email addresses like [email protected]. You will need to update it as new top-level domains are added.

[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+(?:[A-Z]{2}|com|org|net|gov|mil|biz|info|mobi|name|aero|jobs|museum)\b

So even when following official standards, there are still trade-offs to be made. Don't blindly copy regular expressions from online libraries or discussion forums. Always test them on your own data and with your own applications.

_{Emphasis mine}

function ValidateEmail(mail) 
{
  if (/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test(myForm.emailAddr.value))
  {
    return (true)
  }
  alert("You have entered an invalid email address!")
  return (false)
}

Ref URL: https://www.w3resource.com/javascript/form/email-validation.php

This regexp prevents duplicate domain names like [email protected], it will allow only domain two time like [email protected]. It also does not allow statring from number like [email protected]

regexp: /^([a-zA-Z])+([a-zA-Z0-9_.+-])+\@(([a-zA-Z])+\.+?(com|co|in|org|net|edu|info|gov|vekomy))\.?(com|co|in|org|net|edu|info|gov)?$/,  

All The Best !!!!!

Use the regular expression:

 /^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9_.]*(\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_.]*)?@[a-z][a-zA-Z-0-9]*\.[a-z]+(\.[a-z]+)?$/

Example:

function validateEmail(email) {
    var re = /^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9_.]*(\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_.]*)?@[a-z][a-zA-Z-0-9]*\.[a-z]+(\.[a-z]+)?$/;
    return re.test(email);
}

It should allow only @ , . , _

\b[a-z][\w\d_\.]+@\w+\.[a-z]{2}[a-z]?\.?[a-z]{,2}\s

It allows:

[email protected]    
[email protected]   
[email protected]   
[email protected]

A solution that does not check the existence of the TLD is incomplete.

Almost all answers to this questions suggest using Regex to validate emails addresses. I think Regex is only good for a rudimentary validation. It seems that the checking validation of email addresses is actually two separate problems:

1- Validation of email format: Making sure if the email complies with the format and pattern of emails in RFC 5322 and if the TLD actually exists. A list of all valid TLDs can be found here.

For example, although the address [email protected] will pass the regex, it is not a valid email, because ccc is not a top-level domain by IANA.

2- Making sure the email actually exists: For doing this, the only option is to send the users an email.

There's something you have to understand the second you decide to use a regular expression to validate emails: It's probably not a good idea. Once you have come to terms with that, there are many implementations out there that can get you halfway there, this article sums them up nicely.

In short, however, the only way to be absolutely, positively sure that what the user entered is in fact an email is to actually send an email and see what happens. Other than that it's all just guesses.

I know its not regex but any way...

This is example with node and npm package email-existence this is ultimate checking if email exist and if its in the right form :)

This will ping the email if its responding if it got no response it will return false or else true.

function doesEmailExist(email) {
    var emailExistence = require('email-existence');
    return emailExistence.check(email,function (err,status) {
            if (status) {
                return status;
            }
            else {
                throw new Error('Email does not exist');
            }
        });
}

Simply check out if the entered email address is valid or not using HTML.

<input type="email"/>

There isn't any need to write a function for validation.

Correct validation of email address in compliance with the RFCs is not something that can be achieved with a one-liner regular expression. An article with the best solution I've found in PHP is What is a valid email address?. Obviously, it has been ported to Java. I think the function is too complex to be ported and used in JavaScript. JavaScript/node.js port: https://www.npmjs.com/package/email-addresses.

A good practice is to validate your data on the client, but double-check the validation on the server. With this in mind, you can simply check whether a string looks like a valid email address on the client and perform the strict check on the server.

Here's the JavaScript function I use to check if a string looks like a valid mail address:

function looksLikeMail(str) {
    var lastAtPos = str.lastIndexOf('@');
    var lastDotPos = str.lastIndexOf('.');
    return (lastAtPos < lastDotPos && lastAtPos > 0 && str.indexOf('@@') == -1 && lastDotPos > 2 && (str.length - lastDotPos) > 2);
}

Explanation:

• lastAtPos < lastDotPos: Last @ should be before last . since @ cannot be part of server name (as far as I know).

• lastAtPos > 0: There should be something (the email username) before the last @.

• str.indexOf('@@') == -1: There should be no @@ in the address. Even if @ appears as the last character in email username, it has to be quoted so " would be between that @ and the last @ in the address.

• lastDotPos > 2: There should be at least three characters before the last dot, for example [email protected].

• (str.length - lastDotPos) > 2: There should be enough characters after the last dot to form a two-character domain. I'm not sure if the brackets are necessary.

JavaScript can match a regular expression:

emailAddress.match( / some_regex /);

Here's an RFC22 regular expression for emails:

^((?>[a-zA-Z\d!#$%&'*+\-/=?^_`{|}~]+\x20*|"((?=[\x01-\x7f])[^"\\]|\\[\x01-\x7f])*
"\x20*)*(?<angle><))?((?!\.)(?>\.?[a-zA-Z\d!#$%&'*+\-/=?^_`{|}~]+)+|"((?=[\x01-\x
7f])[^"\\]|\\[\x01-\x7f])*")@(((?!-)[a-zA-Z\d\-]+(?<!-)\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}|\[(((?(?<
!\[)\.)(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[01]?\d?\d)){4}|[a-zA-Z\d\-]*[a-zA-Z\d]:((?=[\x01-\x7f])
[^\\\[\]]|\\[\x01-\x7f])+)\])(?(angle)>)$

Here is a solution that works and includes validation/notification fuctionality in a form:

You can run it at this link

JAVASCRIPT

(function() {
  'use strict';

  window.addEventListener('load', function() {
    var form = document.getElementById('needs-validation');
    form.addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
      if (form.checkValidity() === false) {
        event.preventDefault();
      }
      form.classList.add('was-validated');
      event.preventDefault();              
    }, false);
  }, false);
})();

HTML

<p class='title'>
    <b>Email validation</b>
  <hr size="30px;">
</p>
<br>

<form id="needs-validation" novalidate>
  <p class='form_text'>Try it out!</p>
  <div class="form-row">
    <div class="col-12">
      <input type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Address" required>
        <div class="invalid-feedback">
          Please enter a valid email address.
        </div>
    </div>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-12">
      <button type="submit" 
          class="btn btn-default btn-block">Sign up now
      </button>
    </div>
   </div>
</form>

Here's a simple regex that would just check for the basic format of an email e.g., [email protected]:

\S+@\S+\.\S+

W3Schools gives a good simple and efficient script to validate an email:

function validateEmail(email) {
    var atpos=email.indexOf("@");
    var dotpos=email.lastIndexOf(".");
    if (atpos < 1 || dotpos < atpos+2 || dotpos+2 >= email.length) {
        alert("Not a valid e-mail address");
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Note that you will have to remove spaces if there are any though, with something like this:

.replace(/ /g,'')

Source: JavaScript Form Validation

If you want to use Jquery and want to have modern approach then use JQuery input mask with validation.

http://bseth99.github.io/projects/jquery-ui/5-jquery-masks.html

Demo on how simple jquery input mask is here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/gpRyBp

Example of simple input mask for date forexample NOT full validation

 <input id="date" type="text" placeholder="YYYY-MM-DD"/>

and the script:

 $("#date").mask("9999-99-99",{placeholder:"YYYY-MM-DD"});

This is the correct RFC822 version.

function checkEmail(emailAddress) {
  var sQtext = '[^\\x0d\\x22\\x5c\\x80-\\xff]';
  var sDtext = '[^\\x0d\\x5b-\\x5d\\x80-\\xff]';
  var sAtom = '[^\\x00-\\x20\\x22\\x28\\x29\\x2c\\x2e\\x3a-\\x3c\\x3e\\x40\\x5b-\\x5d\\x7f-\\xff]+';
  var sQuotedPair = '\\x5c[\\x00-\\x7f]';
  var sDomainLiteral = '\\x5b(' + sDtext + '|' + sQuotedPair + ')*\\x5d';
  var sQuotedString = '\\x22(' + sQtext + '|' + sQuotedPair + ')*\\x22';
  var sDomain_ref = sAtom;
  var sSubDomain = '(' + sDomain_ref + '|' + sDomainLiteral + ')';
  var sWord = '(' + sAtom + '|' + sQuotedString + ')';
  var sDomain = sSubDomain + '(\\x2e' + sSubDomain + ')*';
  var sLocalPart = sWord + '(\\x2e' + sWord + ')*';
  var sAddrSpec = sLocalPart + '\\x40' + sDomain; // complete RFC822 email address spec
  var sValidEmail = '^' + sAddrSpec + '$'; // as whole string

  var reValidEmail = new RegExp(sValidEmail);

  return reValidEmail.test(emailAddress);
}

The best practice is to either use HTML5 built-in email tag.

<input type="email" name="email">

or the common email syntax as recognizing @ and . from the string is given below.

^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-.]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-.]+$

Note that this would still produce invalid email that will still match the regex, its almost impossible to catch them all but this will improve the situation a little.

How about creating a function which will test any string against emails' pattern using regular expression in JavaScript, as we know email addresses can be quite different in different regions, like in UK and Australia it usually ends up with .co.uk or .com.au, so I tried to cover those as well, also check if the string passed to the function, something like this:

var isEmail = function(str) {
  return typeof str==='string' && /^[\w+\d+._]+\@[\w+\d+_+]+\.[\w+\d+._]{2,8}$/.test(str);
}

and check if it's email like below:

isEmail('[email protected]'); //true
isEmail('[email protected]'); //true
isEmail('[email protected]'); //true
isEmail('[email protected]'); //true
isEmail('[email protected]'); //true
isEmail('[email protected]'); //true
isEmail('[email protected]'); //true
isEmail('[email protected]#sswzazaaaa'); //false
isEmail('[email protected]'); //false

Whoever is using @pvl solution and wants it to pass ESLint Prefer-template then here's a version where I used template literals instead of string concatenation.

validateEmail(email) {
    let sQtext = '[^\\x0d\\x22\\x5c\\x80-\\xff]';
    let sDtext = '[^\\x0d\\x5b-\\x5d\\x80-\\xff]';
    let sAtom = '[^\\x00-\\x20\\x22\\x28\\x29\\x2c\\x2e\\x3a-\\x3c\\x3e\\x40\\x5b-\\x5d\\x7f-\\xff]+';
    let sQuotedPair = '\\x5c[\\x00-\\x7f]';
    let sDomainLiteral = `\\x5b(${sDtext}|${sQuotedPair})*\\x5d`;
    let sQuotedString = `\\x22(${sQtext}|${sQuotedPair})*\\x22`;
    let sDomainRef = sAtom;
    let sSubDomain = `(${sDomainRef}|${sDomainLiteral})`;
    let sWord = `(${sAtom}|${sQuotedString})`;
    let sDomain = `${sSubDomain}(\\x2e${sSubDomain})*`;
    let sLocalPart = `${sWord}(\\x2e${sWord})*`;
    let sAddrSpec = `${sLocalPart}\\x40${sDomain}`; // complete RFC822 email address spec
    let sValidEmail = `^${sAddrSpec}$`; // as whole string

    let reValidEmail = new RegExp(sValidEmail);

    return reValidEmail.test(email);
}

This was stolen from http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/1917

email = $('email');
filter = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
if (filter.test(email.value)) {
  // Yay! valid
  return true;
}
else
  {return false;}

Simple regex for email-Id

 String EMAIL_PATTERN ="^(([^<>()\[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@(([^<>()[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+\.)+[^<>()[\]\.,;:\s@\"]{2,})$";

If you're using Closure you can use the built-in goog.format.EmailAddress type:

http://docs.closure-library.googlecode.com/git/class_goog_format_EmailAddress.html

For example:

goog.format.EmailAddress.isValidAddrSpec("[email protected]")

Note that by reading the source (linked above) you can see the comments state that IDN are not supported and that it only aims to cover most addresses:

// This is a fairly naive implementation, but it covers 99% of use cases.
// For more details, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Syntax
// TODO(mariakhomenko): we should also be handling i18n domain names as per
// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name

Use this code inside your validator function:

var emailID = document.forms["formName"]["form element id"].value;
atpos = emailID.indexOf("@");
dotpos = emailID.lastIndexOf(".");
if (atpos < 1 || ( dotpos - atpos < 2 ))
{
    alert("Please enter correct email ID")
    return false;
}

Else you can use jQuery. Inside rules define:

eMailId: {
    required: true,
    email: true
}
