### What?
It's impossible to create a user with special characters in their email
in Payload CMS 3.35.0.
The issue is that currently the regex looks like this:
...payload/packages/payload/src/fields/validations.ts (line 202-203):
const emailRegex =
/^(?!.*\.\.)[\w.%+-]+@[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?(?:\.[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?)*\.[a-z]{2,}$/i
This allows users that have the following characters in their email to
be created:
%, ., +, -
The regex needs to get updated to the following:
const emailRegex =
/^(?!.*\.\.)[\w!#$%&'*+/=?^{|}~.-]+@a-z0-9?(?:.a-z0-9?)*.[a-z]{2,}$/i`
This way all special characters `!#$%&'*+/=?^_{|}~.-`` are hereby OK to
have in the email.
I've added more test-cases to cover a couple of more scenarios in the
forked repo.
### Why?
The regex is missing some special characters that are allowed according
to standards.
### How?
* Go to the admin ui and try to create a user with any of the newly
added special characters meaning (!#$%&'*+/=?^_{|}~.-`)
* You should get a validation error. However with the addition of the
above code it should all check out.
