Email Repair

Email Repair is a utility for sanitizing and validating user-provided email address.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'email_repair'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install email_repair

require 'email_repair'
require 'ostruct'

EmailRepair::Mechanic.new.repair('blah@gmail')
# "blah@gmail.com"

EmailRepair::Mechanic.new.repair_all(%w[One@@two.com bleep@blop plooooooop])
# <OpenStruct sanitized_emails=["one@two.com"], invalid_emails=["bleep@blop", "plooooooop"]>

Takes a single email address, applies the available repairs to it and returns the repaired email. If the email cannot be repaired, nil is returned instead.

Takes an array of emails, applies available repairs to each email and returns an OpenStruct containing keys sanitized_emails: with a unique array of the emails that were able to be repaired, and invalid_emails: with unique array of the emails that were unable to be repaired

Returns a regular expression to be used to validate user-supplied email addresses.

Repairs common email typos:

• downcases the email
• removes white space
• removes duplicate @ symbols
• replaces .c0m with .com
• replaces commas with periods

Adds missing top-level domain for common email domains. For example, it replaces blah@gmail with blah@gmail.com.

Adds missing period between the domain and top-level domain for common email domains. For example, it replaces blah@gmailcom with blah@gmail.com.

Replaces '#', '.', or '-', with '@', or adds missing @ symbol for common domains. For example, it replaces blahgmail.com and blah#gmail.com with blah@gmail.com.

Fixes swapped letters ('ia' instead of 'ai') in common domains. For example, it replaces blah@gmial.com with blah@gmail.com.

Extracts the email address from strings that contain other text. For example, it replaces blah <blah@email.com> with blah@email.com.
