| Aug 23, 2022 at 10:56 | comment | added | Watts Epherson | I have to admit, I don't understand why there's some much validation going on when you can't predict if the user made a basic type using the valid characters anyway. Just a check for @ and at least one dot is enough at the start. | |

Added "regex"-tag as the solutions use regex.

| Jul 9, 2022 at 12:49 | comment | added | GnanaPrakash | @theking2 I agree that regex helps only to check the standard email format, but it will not confirm entered email address is valid or reachable. This problem is addressed by a few real-time email validation tools. You might need to check clearout.io/integrations/real-time-javascript-email-validation. It even helps to suggest the mistyped email address. | |

Changed the question from a pure javascript perspective to one that takes into account that most of the web is built upon html. It also remove "validate" since that's unanswerable by programmers without sending a validation email, something that the asker seems to be unwilling to at this stage.

| Dec 6, 2021 at 12:39 | comment | added | theking2 | @DavidMårtensson A customer that mistypes one character in her e-mail will have it regexp validated where it still is wrong. The result will be: no communication possible. To me that is the worst user experience one can imagine. A validation confirmation will engage the user in a conversation which shows respect and genuine interest in customers needs. | |

| Jun 4, 2021 at 14:23 | comment | added | David Mårtensson | @mikael1000 Sure, but what is the purpose of a regex validation when you will not know if its a valid email anyway. If you do not want to intrude on the customer with a validation link just do the most simple validation <something> at <something> and leave it at that. It will ensure that the customer at least added something that might be an email, anything more it mostly a waste of code until you get to actually validating. You could possibly check if the domain exists with a dns lookup. | |
| Jun 3, 2021 at 10:22 | comment | added | mikael1000 | @David Mårtensson I added a + on your thoughts. However I do think that a verification email-link thing also can be bad user experience. One that can make you lose a customer. | |
| May 3, 2021 at 14:56 | comment | added | David Mårtensson | @Alex The reason I added this comment is that the suggested regex in the accepted answer will not allow existing live email addresses which is a bad start for a customer, and the really big problem is that even IF the address was accepted it still does not say if it works. The only way to reliably verify that a supplied email is a working valid email is to send a mail with a verification link. So, if your use case does not demand that you verify the email, just do a minimal test for @, otherwise use a verification email. Regex will only provide bad user experience. | |
