Email validation in Odoo

This article will help us to validate Email field on Partner form.

First of all, we need to understand argument of _constraints.

    _constraint has list of arguments in which

          1. Method is name,

          2. Warning/Error message and

          3. List of field name.

Method will be fire based on, change of field value given as third argument in _constraint.

Now we need to set constraint for Email field.

Here is code for constraint.
  
    _constraints = [
        (_validate_email, 'Please enter a valid email address.', ['email']),
    ]

Here is code for method.

    @api.multi
    def _validate_email(self):
        for partner in self:
            if re.match("^.+\\@(\\[?)[a-zA-Z0-9\\-\\.]+\\.([a-zA-Z]{2,3}|[0-9]{1,3})(\\]?)$", partner.email) == None:
                return False
        return True

NOTE:

         Warning/Error message will be populate, only when method will return False.
