Consider using ng4 built in email validator

[buren]

Ng4 now has a email directive/validator

Will use.

Also to be consitent the api should use the same regex as that new validator so they complain about the same things:

const EMAIL_REGEXP = /^(?=.{1,254}$)(?=.{1,64}@)[-!#$%&'*+/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+(\.[-!#$%&'*+/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+)*@[A-Za-z0-9]([A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?(\.[A-Za-z0-9]([A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?)*$/;

Yeah, that would be great 👍 Now its just a matter of figuring out how to convert that JS-regex into a Ruby one without altering the meaning and I'm no pro-regexer 😉

Took a stab at just changing the start- and end-syntax, but ended up with this error:

irb(main):003:0> EMAIL_REGEXP = /\A(?=.{1,254}$)(?=.{1,64}@)[-!#$%&'*+/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+(\.[-!#$%&'*+/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+)*@[A-Za-z0-9]([A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?(\.[A-Za-z0-9]([A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?)*\Z/i

Yeah, there are quite a few Ruby to JavaScript regex converters, but not the other way way around 😕
