Generic email validator

Question

I want to create a form where the user will enter his email. I\'d like to validate email format client-side.

Is there any generic email validator in Angular 2?

Answer 1

I guess just now there is no email validator, but it's pretty easy to add a custom one. See this demo I used the same regex as angular1 uses.

function emailValidator(control) {
  var EMAIL_REGEXP = /^[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~.-]+@[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?(\.[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?)*$/i;

  if (!EMAIL_REGEXP.test(control.value)) {
    return {invalidEmail: true};
  }
}
