This Ruby on Rails plugin implements an ActiveRecord validation helper called validates_as_email. The helper acts as if validates_format_of was used with a regular expression that defines an email address conformance test.

It does not follow any RFC as RFC822, RFC2822, RFC3696 as it’s intended for common bn

Installation:

Make sure you have rubygems >= 1.3.6

Install the gem(s): sudo gem install brodock-validates_as_email

Add to environment.rb initializer block: config.gem ‘brodock-validates_as_email’, :lib => ‘validates_as_email’

Usage:

In your model file do something like:

class MyClass < ActiveRecord::Base

validates_as_email :email, :message => 'Invalid Email Address', :allow_nil => true

end

class MyOtherClass < ActiveRecord::Base

# will not accept addresses with a single part domain, e.g user@example
validates_as_email :email, :message => 'Invalid Email Address', :allow_nil => true

end

Tests:

Some tests have been added.
