Jaimito is an email validator library written in JavaScript. The library validates the email by checking its hostname on Mail Exchange (MX) records.

Jaimito is available via npm

$ npm install jaimito

Using Jaimito is really simple: all you have to do is call the validate function.

To validate an email, you must provide the email itself and the callback that will be executed after its validation.

const Jaimito = require('jaimito');

Jaimito.validate('yourEmail@gmail.com', function(err, res) {
    if(err) {
        // unexpected error
    }

    if(res) {
        // valid email
    } else {
        // invalid email
    }
});

Jaimito is also available for use with Promises:

const Jaimito = require('jaimito');

Jaimito
.validate('yourEmail@gmail.com')
.then(res => {
    if(res) {
        // valid email
    } else {
        // invalid email
    }
})
.catch(err => {
    // unexpected error
});

Different from traditional email validators, Jaimito also checks wether the provided hostname is real. For this, the email domain is verified on Mail Exchange records.
