Problem with email validation?

What seems to be the problem:

When I use the validate Email attribute like: ‘email’ => 'required*|*email’,

I can pass an email address like test@test without .topleveldomain to the DB

Steps to Reproduce:

Are you using the latest version of Livewire:

2.3

Do you have any screenshots or code examples:

public function updatedEmail()
{
$this->validate([
‘email’ => ‘unique:users|email’,
]);
}

this will pass email@email to the DB

Hey, @reniar1
You can validate the TLD for email with

'email' => ['required', 'max:255', 'email', 'regex:/(.*)@(gmail|yahoo|protonmail)\.com/i', 'unique:users'],

I love it.

That is a great solution thank you skywalker again.

Are you also active on the laracast forum?

I’m happy to hear that!

Nop, I’m not that active in laracasts :smile:

You only want to permit specific domains?

You can specify additional checks in the email rule https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/validation#rule-email for rfc and dns checking

You don’t need to use regular expressions to check if the email address is valid, because the rule you have is technically correct (email@email is valid, just like email@localhost would be valid). Adding the filter validation would make email@email invalid:

'email' => 'unique:users|email:filter'

You may want to consider adding more validations as well, e.g.:

'email' => 'unique:users|email:filter,rfc,spoof'
