email_address-validation¶ ↑
This gem uses :
Gem will check: 1. Valid format of email 2. Presence of email 3. Uniqueness of email
-
ActiveRecord’s existing validates_format_of method to check whether the parameter corresponds to a valid email regex.
-
ActiveRecord’s existing validates_presence_of to check whether a user has entered a email address
and
-
ActiveRecord’s existing validates_uniqueness_of to check if the email address has already been entered.
The email regex used is: /^(|(([A-Za-z0-9]_
)|(\-
)|([A-Za-z0-9]\.
)|(+
))*[A-Za-z0-9]+@((w+-+)|(w+.))*w{1,63}.[a-zA-Z]{2,6})$/i
