Email Valid8

Replace the Random Regex you Copied from Stack Overflow!

This gem is meant to be an easy mixin for consistent email address validation using Ruby's standard URI library. It can be used to take single email addresses, or even multiple email addresses separated by a comma.

Installation

Add it to your Gemfile using:

gem 'email_valid8'

Next, install the gem by running:

bundle install

Usage

In Application

In your model, you can include the following if you have a single attribute named email that needs to be checked. This will use ActiveModel::Validator to validate the field when your other validations are being run.

validates_with EmailAddressValidator, fields: %i[email]

Another feature of this gem is its ability to handle multiple emails in a comma-separated string. If you have an attribute that takes a longer string of emails named whole_lotta_emails, you can pass in the multiples: true attribute in order to validate all of those emails.

validates_with EmailAddressValidator, fields: %i[whole_lotta_emails], multiples: true
