This program checks how to validate the email address.
Dart provides a RegExp class for matching strings with regular expression
Following are the rules for a valid email address.
- Email has different valid parts - sender name,@ symbol, and domain name
- recipient and domain names may contain lower and upper case numbers
- domain name contains an extension separated by a dot(.)
- special characters are allowed in the sender’s name
- sender name length is 64 characters
- domain name is 256 characters
Valid emails are [email protected] and Invalid emails are abc, [email protected].
Dart email validation using regular expression
In this program, Email validation is checked using regular expressions.
RegExp(regularexpression).hasMatch(emailString) checks the email string with a regular expression and returns a bool value.
Here is an example program
void main() {
print(isEmailValid("ababc.com")); // false
print(isEmailValid("[email protected]")); // true
print(isEmailValid("[email protected]")); // false
}
bool isEmailValid(String email) {
return RegExp(
r'^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\[email protected]\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\[email protected]\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$')
.hasMatch(email);
}
Output:
false
true
false
Similarly, You can add dart extensions to the String class, Extensions are adding new features to existing libraries.
Example program to write an extension for string email validation
void main() {
print("ababc.com".isEmailValid()); // false
print("[email protected]".isEmailValid()); // true
print("[email protected]".isEmailValid()); // false
}
extension EmailValidation on String {
bool isEmailValid() {
return RegExp(
r'^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\[email protected]\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\[email protected]\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$')
.hasMatch(this);
}
}
Conclusion
To summarize, learned how to check valid email or not in dart and flutter.
