# node-email-validator

This npm package checks that whether an email address is a valid email address or not by checking the MX records. It also has a statistics based check that whether an email address has a possibility of being a `temporary email`, `email belonging to a private organization` or that `mail server is not used much in that region`. It also checks if the email address structure follows `RFC 5322 Official Standard` or not.

## How to install?

* Just run the following statement.

```javascript

npm install node-email-validator

```

or

```javascript

npm i node-email-validator

```

## How to use it?

* Given below is an example on how to use this package.

```javascript

var nev = require('node-email-validator');

nev('[email protected]').then(validation => {console.log(validation);}).catch(error => console.log(error));

```

* The output for this is as follows.

```json

{

  user: 'xukrlrll',

  domain: 'sharklasers.com',

  isEmailValid: true,

  mxRecords: [ { exchange: 'mail.guerrillamail.com', priority: 0 } ],

  possibility: true,

  timeout: false

}

```

## What is present in the response?

* `user` - This contains the username part of the email address.

* `domain` - This contains the domain part of the email address.

* `isEmailValid` - This returns `true` or `false` depending on the validity of the email address.

* `mxRecords` - It contains the MX records which are dictionaries of `exchange` and `priority` or `[]` if nothing is present.

* `probability` - This returns `true` or `false` depending on the possibility of an email address being a `temporary email`, `email belonging to a private organization` or that `mail server is not used much in that region`.

* `timeout` - This returns `true` or `false` depending on the fact that the query caused timeout or not.

## How to run tests?

* For running the tests, run the following command.

```javascript

npm test

```
