  • 0

I want to make an email validation that only accept emails from my college so I wanted to know how to do that.

    email_regex = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i

validates :email, :presence => true,
                  :format   => { :with => email_regex },

That is currently how my validation looks like so I wanted to know how I could make it only accept .edu type email addresses.
