How To Validate Emails in Flutter
Validation made simple using this Flutter package
Welcome to my first article about Flutter package testing. Each week, I will test another package published under pub.dev.
Email Validator
This week’s package provides you with one easy-to-use function to validate an email input. The author mentions that this is a simple (but “correct”) Dart class for email validation without using regular expressions. We’ll come back later to why he calls it correct.

Purpose
I think the purpose of this package is very clear. For example, if you want to register a user with an email address and a password, you have to verify that the email address is valid. If it’s not, you can give your user a hint that they have to check their email address again for any spelling mistakes. Not all backend systems support email validation while creating a new user. According to your app’s user experience, it’s also much better to help your user when they’ve finished the email address input and want to start filling in a password.
