Answer 1

var myemail = '[email protected]'

if (/@yahoo.com\s*$/.test(myemail)) {
   console.log("it ends in @yahoo");
} 

is true if the string ends in @yahoo.com (plus optional whitespace).

Answer 2

You do not need to use regex for this.

You can see if a string contains another string using the indexOf method.

var idx = emailAddress.indexOf('@yahoo.com');
if (idx > -1) {
  // true if the address contains yahoo.com
}

We can take advantage of slice() to implement "ends with" like so:

var idx = emailAddress.lastIndexOf('@');
if (idx > -1 && emailAddress.slice(idx + 1) === 'yahoo.com') {
  // true if the address ends with yahoo.com
}

In evergreen browsers, you can use the built in String.prototype.endsWith() like so:

if (emailAddress.endsWith('@yahoo.com')) {
    // true if the address ends with yahoo.com
}

See the MDN docs for browser support.

Answer 3

function emailDomainCheck(email, domain)
{
    var parts = email.split('@');
    if (parts.length === 2) {
        if (parts[1] === domain) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
