You can use
const email = '[email protected]';
const regex = /(^.|@[^@](?=[^@]*$)|\.[^.] $)|./g;
const censoredEmail = email.replace(regex, (x, y) => y || '*');
console.log(censoredEmail );
// => e***********@e******.comDetails:
(- start of Group 1:^.|- start of string and any one char, or@[^@](?=[^@]*$)|- a@and any one char other than@that are followed with any chars other than@till end of string, or\.[^.] $- a.and then any one or more chars other than.till end of string
)- end of group|- or.- any one char.
The (x, y) => y || '*' replacement means the matches are replaced with Group 1 value if it matched (participated in the match) or with *.
