Email Address Validation

[markovic-nikola]

Hello,

First of all, thank you for maintaining and keeping this package alive.

Recently I was in need of SparkPost API email validation service so I thought it would be convenient to extend the existing driver with this functionality in case someone else needs it in the future. And since it's not too complex change/addition I hope it won't be too much work for you to merge it.

Best regards, Nikola

Hi @markovic-nikola,

Thank you for your PR, it looks good. Could you add a new helper function in helpers.php to quickly access the new method like below and update README for documentation.

if (!function_exists('sparkpost_check_email')) {
    function sparkpost_check_email($email): JsonResponse
    {
        Validator::make(['email' => $email], [
            'email' => [
                'required', 'email'
            ]
        ])->validate();

        $config = config('services.sparkpost', []);
        $sparkpostOptions = $config['options'] ?? [];
        $guzzleOptions = $config['guzzle'] ?? [];
        $client = app()->make(Client::class, $guzzleOptions);

        return (new SparkPostTransport($client, $config['secret'], $sparkpostOptions))->validateSingleRecipient($email);
    }
}

Then I can accept the PR and tag a new version. Thanks in advance

Hi @eldor,

Thanks for the fast response, I updated the code as you requested.

Regarding the SparkPostTransport class initialization for helper functions, in my projects I did it a little bit differently, not sure if it's better though

return app('mailer')->getSwiftMailer()->getTransport()->validateSingleRecipient($email);

Although both approaches seem to work fine.
