Email address parsing and validation library for Elixir.

ExEmail

Helpers for parsing and validating email addresses.

Usage

Add ExEmail to your mix project deps:

{:ex_email, "~> 0.1"}

An email address may be parsed into its local and domain parts via ExEmail.parse/1:

iex> ExEmail.parse("alice@example.com")
{:ok, {"alice", "example.com"}}
iex> ExEmail.parse("@example.com")
{:error, ExEmail.Error.new("parse error", "@example.com")}

If the values of the parts are not important, just the validity of the address, then ExEmail.validate/1 may be used:

iex> ExEmail.validate("alice@example.com")
:ok
iex> ExEmail.validate("@example.com")
{:error, ExEmail.Error.new("parse error", "@example.com")}

References

This library pulls heavily from the email_validator Erlang library, which is great but no longer seems to be maintained.
