 **isDivisibleBy(str, number)**          | check if the string is a number that is divisible by another.
 **isEAN(str)**                          | check if the string is an [EAN (European Article Number)][European Article Number].
-**isEmail(str [, options])**            | check if the string is an email.<br/><br/>`options` is an object which defaults to `{ allow_display_name: false, require_display_name: false, allow_utf8_local_part: true, require_tld: true, allow_ip_domain: false, domain_specific_validation: false, blacklisted_chars: '', host_blacklist: [] }`. 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_utf8_local_part` is set to false, the validator will not allow any non-English UTF8 character in email address' local part. If `require_tld` is set to false, email addresses without a TLD in their domain will also be matched. If `ignore_max_length` is set to true, the validator will not check for the standard max length of an email. 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 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 and the part of the email after the `@` symbol matches none of the strings defined in it, the validation fails.
