Defined in:

Overview

Returns an email address based on the given name. By default, uses “example.com” as the domain, to not use actual existing email accounts. Returns “simple” email addresses, i.e., without valid-yet-rare characters, such as “[email protected]”@example.com (per en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address). The email address is downcased and non-word characters are removed. Randomly, a trailing number is added. Thus the formats are:

- john.smith@example.com
- jsmith@example.com
- jsmith24@example.com
- smithj@example.com
- smithj17@example.com
