# email

email fields operate similarly to string fields, but will only accept a valid email address.

# Example

// Single line, optional
{
  name: 'contact',
  label: 'Contact',
  type: 'email'
}
// Single line, required
{
  name: 'contact',
  label: 'Contact',
  type: 'email',
  required: true
}
