need to change email regex in jquery validate plugin

Question

email: function( value, element ) {
            // From https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#valid-e-mail-address
            // Retrieved 2014-01-14
            // If you have a problem with this implementation, report a bug against the above spec
            // Or use custom methods to implement your own email validation
            return this.optional( element ) || /^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$/.test( value );
        }

i found above code in jquery validation plugin for email validation here i replaced the regex with others but still it validates email as "example@example" but in my application i want it to validate emails of type "example@example.example" only ,is this regex expression only which needs to be changed or some other part of the code too because changing regex didn't worked for me

Really, really just do some basic stuff (*somewhat@somewhat.something*) and actually **write an email to that specific address** as email adresses tend to be more complicated than one would have expected in the first place. — Jan, Dec 21 '15 at 17:31

Just change the last * (zero or more) to + (one or more) to force at least one .something:

/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)+$/
                                                                                                                                    ^
# This is the only change ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
