myApp.directive('nanuEmail', function() {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',

    link: function(scope, elm, attrs, model) {
      //change this:
      var EMAIL_REGEXP = /^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/;
      var emailValidator = function(value) {

        return value;
      } else {
        model.$setValidity('email', false);
        return undefined;

      model.$parsers.push(emailValidator);
      model.$formatters.push(emailValidator);
    }
  };
});
