NOTICE, DEPRECATED

This module is superseded by @haraka/email-address. New projects should use @haraka/email-address instead. (ref haraka/Haraka#3564)

address-rfc2822

Parser for RFC 2822 & 5322 (Header) format email addresses.

This module parses RFC 2822 headers containing addresses such as From, To, CC, and BCC headers.

It is almost a direct port of the perl module Mail::Address and I'm grateful to the original authors of that module for the clean code and the tests.

Installation

npm install address-rfc2822

Usage

const addrparser = require('address-rfc2822')

const addresses = addrparser.parse('Matt Sergeant <helpme+npm@gmail.com>')
const address = addresses[0]

console.log(`Email address: ${address.address}`) // helpme+npm@gmail.com
console.log(`Email name: ${address.name()}`)     // Matt Sergeant
console.log(`Reformatted: ${address.format()}`)  // Matt Sergeant <helpme+npm@gmail.com>
console.log(`User part: ${address.user()}`)      // helpme+npm
console.log(`Host part: ${address.host()}`)      // gmail.com
