If `allow_display_name` is set to true, the validator will also match `Display Name <email-address>`. If `require_display_name` is set to true, the validator will reject strings without the format `Display Name <email-address>`.

If `allow_ip_domain` is set to true, the validator will allow IP addresses in the host part. If `domain_specific_validation` is true, some additional validation will be enabled, e.g. disallowing certain syntactically valid email addresses that are rejected by Gmail. If `blacklisted_chars` receives a string, then the validator will reject emails that include any of the characters in the string, in the name part. If `host_blacklist` is set to an array of strings or regexp, and the part of the email after the `@` symbol matches one of the strings defined in it, the validation fails. If `host_whitelist` is set to an array of strings or regexp, and the part of the email after the `@` symbol matches none of the strings defined in it, the validation fails.

This is already better, but it would be great if we could keep the same format as for others. See this from isFQDN for example;

require_tld - If set to false the validator will not check if the domain includes a TLD.
allow_underscores - if set to true, the validator will allow underscores in the domain.
allow_trailing_dot - if set to true, the validator will allow the domain to end with a . character.
allow_numeric_tld - if set to true, the validator will allow the TLD of the domain to be made up solely of numbers.
allow_wildcard - if set to true, the validator will allow domains starting with *. (e.g. *.example.com or *.shop.example.com).
ignore_max_length - if set to true, the validator will not check for the standard max length of a domain.

**isEmpty(str [, options])** | check if the string has a length of zero.<br/><br/>`options` is an object which defaults to `{ ignore_whitespace: false }`.
**isEthereumAddress(str)** | check if the string is an [Ethereum][Ethereum] address. Does not validate address checksums.
**isFloat(str [, options])** | check if the string is a float.<br/><br/>`options` is an object which can contain the keys `min`, `max`, `gt`, and/or `lt` to validate the float is within boundaries (e.g. `{ min: 7.22, max: 9.55 }`) it also has `locale` as an option.<br/><br/>`min` and `max` are equivalent to 'greater or equal' and 'less or equal', respectively while `gt` and `lt` are their strict counterparts.<br/><br/>`locale` determines the decimal separator and is one of `['ar', 'ar-AE', 'ar-BH', 'ar-DZ', 'ar-EG', 'ar-IQ', 'ar-JO', 'ar-KW', 'ar-LB', 'ar-LY', 'ar-MA', 'ar-QA', 'ar-QM', 'ar-SA', 'ar-SD', 'ar-SY', 'ar-TN', 'ar-YE', 'bg-BG', 'cs-CZ', 'da-DK', 'de-DE', 'en-AU', 'en-GB', 'en-HK', 'en-IN', 'en-NZ', 'en-US', 'en-ZA', 'en-ZM', 'eo', 'es-ES', 'fr-CA', 'fr-FR', 'hu-HU', 'it-IT', 'nb-NO', 'nl-NL', 'nn-NO', 'pl-PL', 'pt-BR', 'pt-PT', 'ru-RU', 'sl-SI', 'sr-RS', 'sr-RS@latin', 'sv-SE', 'tr-TR', 'uk-UA']`. Locale list is `validator.isFloatLocales`.
