Email Utilities is a small Laravel package created by Ash Allen that facilitates interactions with email addresses. A common use case for this package is on public-facing forms, where it can help prevent users from submitting email addresses from disposable email providers. Another use case is for checking for Role-based email addresses that are not specific to an individual

Note: This package is not a replacement for Laravel's built-in email validator but should be used alongside it. It offers additional utilities for managing email addresses.

#Features

• Determine if a user is attempting to use a disposable email address (e.g., test@0-mail.com).
• Check whether a given email address is role-based (e.g., admin@, support@, info@, and sales@).
• Validate the domain of an email address using methods like domainIs and domainIsNot.
• Provide additional validation rules that complement Laravel's built-in email validator.
• Allow configuration of disposable email domains and role accounts lists.

#Example

use AshAllenDesign\EmailUtilities\Email;
use AshAllenDesign\EmailUtilities\Rules\EmailDomainIs;
 
// Check if an email is disposable
new Email('hello@0-mail.com')->isDisposable();
 
// Check if an email is role-based
new Email('support@example.com')->isRoleAccount();
 
// Check the domain of an email address
new Email('test@test.com')->domainIs(['example.com', 'test.com']);
 
// Validation
$request->validate([
    'email' => [
            'required',
            'email',
            new EmailDomainIs(patterns: ['example.com', '*.example.com'])
        ],
]);

Install the package via Composer and publish the configuration file using the following commands:
