Email Address type for Rust

Build Status

This crate implements email address parsing for Rust, as well as an EmailAddress type, so you can stop stringly-typing your email addresses.

use emailaddress::EmailAddress;

fn main() {
    let email = EmailAddress::new("[email protected]");
    assert_eq!(email.local, "someone".to_string()); 
    assert_eq!(email.domain, "example.com".to_string());
}

// or with from_str:

use emailaddress::EmailAddress;

fn main() {
  let email = from_str::<EmailAddress>("[email protected]").unwrap();
  assert_eq!(
    email,
    EmailAddress {
        local: "someone".to_string(),
        domain: "example.com".to_string()
    }
  );
}

Parsing

There are (erm..."will be") 3 different parsing algorithms. "simple", "rfc5322" and "rfc6531". Currently only "simple" is fully implemented.

Simple parsing

The "simple" parsing algorithm is this:

  • take the last occurrence of the '@' symbol
  • everything to the right of it is the domain part
  • everything to the left of it is the local port

"WHAT??!!"

Yes, that's it. Not really a parser. Not much of an algorithm. But for reasons why you would want to use it, see http://girders.org/blog/2013/01/31/dont-rfc-validate-email-addresses/ or just google/duckduckgo/startpage for "email address RFC".
