# Validation::Class::Directive::Email(3pm)

Email Directive for Validation Class Field Definitions

## NAME

Validation::Class::Directive::Email - Email Directive for Validation Class Field Definitions

## VERSION

version 7.900059

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Validation::Class::Simple;
    my $rules = Validation::Class::Simple->new(
        fields => {
            user_email => {
                email => 1
            }
        }
    );
    # set parameters to be validated
    $rules->params->add($parameters);
    # validate
    unless ($rules->validate) {
        # handle the failures
    }
```

## DESCRIPTION

Validation::Class::Directive::Email is a core validation class field directive that checks the validity of email addresses specified by the associated parameters. Please note, the email directive does not perform a host lookup nor does it conform to the RFC specification. For more sophisticated email validation, please use custom validation with Email::Valid or similar.
