# Feature: #62147 - New eval option in TCA: email

See [forge#62147](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/62147)

## Description

A new option has been added to the eval field: email. This will
check if the entered value is a valid e-mail address server-side.
If not, a flash error message will be shown.

Usage:

```php
'email' => array(
    'exclude' => 1,
    'label' => 'LLL:EXT:wd_products/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_wdproducts_domain_model_contactperson.email',
    'config' => array(
        'type' => 'input',
        'size' => 30,
        'eval' => 'email,trim'
    ),
)
```

## Impact

Users don't have to write their own validation classes for e-mail validation.
