jqueryHow do I use jQuery to validate an email address?


jQuery provides a powerful way to validate email addresses. To use jQuery to validate an email address, you can use the $.validator.methods.email method. This method takes a single parameter, the email address to validate, and returns a boolean value indicating whether the email address is valid.

Example

var isValidEmail = $.validator.methods.email("[email protected]");
console.log(isValidEmail); // true

The code above will check if the email address [email protected] is valid and output true to the console.

Code explanation

  • var isValidEmail: Declares a variable isValidEmail which will hold the result of the validation.
  • $.validator.methods.email: The jQuery method which will be used to validate the email address.
  • ("[email protected]"): The parameter passed to the jQuery method, the email address to validate.
  • console.log(isValidEmail): Outputs the result of the validation to the console.
