Mongoose - validate email syntax
you could also use the match or the validate property for validation in the schema
example
var validateEmail = function(email) {
var re = /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/;
return re.test(email)
};
var EmailSchema = new Schema({
email: {
type: String,
trim: true,
lowercase: true,
unique: true,
required: 'Email address is required',
validate: [validateEmail, 'Please fill a valid email address'],
match: [/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/, 'Please fill a valid email address']
}
});
I use validator for my input sanitation, and it can be used in a pretty cool way.
Install it, and then use it like so:
import { isEmail } from 'validator';
// ...
const EmailSchema = new Schema({
email: {
//... other setup
validate: [ isEmail, 'invalid email' ]
}
});
works a treat, and reads nicely.
