Dot in user-part

[k4zh]

Hi,

Thank you for your lib.

const validator = require('validator');

console.log(validator.isEmail('bob.foo-bar@test.com'));  // true

But using emailRegexSafe({ gmail: false }).exec('bob.foo-bar@test.com'), only foo-bar@test.com matches.

Is that expected behavior?

Looking at the source of validator.isEmail (see https://github.com/validatorjs/validator.js/blob/cfcf9113c69b97477c409909a8729fa8efa0d595/src/lib/isEmail.js#L162-L170), it looks like they split by period to check local parts, and with each split, they test the user pattern. If any parts are not valid, then it rejects it and returns false. We added \\. to our regular expressions and also added a test.

This has been fixed and released in v2.0.0.
