EmailChecker

PHP library to check if an email comes from a disposable email provider.

To detect invalid emails, it provides a built-in database of 1000+ disposable email providers, but you can also use your own data.

Installation

Via Composer:

composer require mattketmo/email-checker

Usage

Basic use of EmailChecker with built-in throwaway email list:

<?php

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

use EmailChecker\EmailChecker;

$checker = new EmailChecker();

$checker->isValid('[email protected]');     // true
$checker->isValid('[email protected]'); // false

Or using a custom adapter:

<?php

use EmailChecker\EmailChecker;
use EmailChecker\Adapter;

$checker = new EmailChecker(new Adapter\ArrayAdapter(array(
    'foo.org',
    'baz.net'
)));

$checker->isValid('[email protected]'); // true
$checker->isValid('[email protected]'); // false

You can build your own adapter (to use another database) simply by implementing the AdapterInterface.

Integration with Symfony2

This library also provides a constraint validation for your Symfony2 project:

<?php

use EmailChecker\Constraints as EmailCheckerAssert;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class User
{
    /**
     * @Assert\NotBlank
     * @EmailCheckerAssert\NotThrowawayEmail
     */
    protected $email;
}

Integration with Laravel 5

To integrate this library with your Laravel 5.x project add the following line to the providers key within your config/app.php file:

EmailChecker\Laravel\EmailCheckerServiceProvider::class

If you would like to use the EmailChecker facade, you must also add the following line to the aliases key within your config/app.php file:

'EmailChecker' => EmailChecker\Laravel\EmailCheckerFacade::class

You can then use the library within your project like so:

<?php

class MyClass
{
	public function foo()
	{
        // Facade Access
        EmailChecker::isValid('[email protected]');

        // Container Access
        $checker = app()->make('email.checker');
        $checker->isValid('[email protected]');
    }

    public function getValidator(array $data)
    {
        // Not thow away validator
        return Validator::make($data, [
    	     'email' => 'required|email|not_throw_away'
    	]);
    }
}
