[jira] [Updated] (FLEX-24197) Email Validator allows for invalid
email addresses
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-24197?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Justin Mclean updated FLEX-24197:
---------------------------------
Description:
The EmailValidator component allows for invalid email address of '.@adobe.com' for example. This is the expected behavior.
"The EmailValidator class validates that a String has a single @ sign, a period in the domain name and that the top-level domain suffix has two, three, four, or six characters. IP domain names are valid if they are enclosed in square brackets. The validator does not check whether the domain and user name actually exist. "
As we can see .@adobe.com still meets all the requirement for our default validation. While .@adobe.com is not a valid email address in real world, it is valid as far as the program class is concerned
The problem can be worked around by using regular expression in text field or custom validation class.
ENHANCEMENT REQUEST -
Although this is the default behavior/expect behavior of the Email Validator component, I would like to request that Email Validator be extended to verify for valid email addresses.
