"validate Email"-Solution for Swift 4: Create this class:
import Foundation
public class EmailAddressValidator {
public init() {
}
public func validateEmailAddress(_ email: String) -> Bool {
let emailTest = NSPredicate(format: "SELF MATCHES %@", String.emailValidationRegEx)
return emailTest.evaluate(with: email)
}
}
private extension String {
static let emailValidationRegEx = "(?:[\\p{L}0-9!#$%\\&'*+/=?\\^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[\\p{L}0-9!#$%\\&'*+/=?\\^_`{|}" +
"~-]+)*|\"(?:[\\x01-\\x08\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x1f\\x21\\x23-\\x5b\\x5d-\\" +
"x7f]|\\\\[\\x01-\\x09\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x7f])*\")@(?:(?:[\\p{L}0-9](?:[a-" +
"z0-9-]*[\\p{L}0-9])?\\.)+[\\p{L}0-9](?:[\\p{L}0-9-]*[\\p{L}0-9])?|\\[(?:(?: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]?|[\\p{L}0-9-]*[\\p{L}0-9]:(?:[\\x01-\\x08\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x1f\\x21" +
"-\\x5a\\x53-\\x7f]|\\\\[\\x01-\\x09\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x7f])+)\\])"
}
and use it like this:
let validator = EmailAddressValidator()
let isValid = validator.validateEmailAddress("[email protected]")
