FR: Consider adding 'email' as a core type about cerberus HOT 4 CLOSED

Yeah I agree that it would be nice to have. Only problem being, no matter how good the regex people will always complain that it isn't good enough :)

This is one of those fields where I feel that customization comes in really handy, as anyone can work out his/her own use case, relying on email validatio APIs included (you could call the API in your custom validation function for example).

Of course we could still provide a standard email validation rule, which people could then choose to override if so they wish. A standard email validation rule would also be nice to have in Eve.

I agree. A standard email validator would let people get up-and-running quickly. If it took a regex as a parameter then people could override that as necessary.

I also think that a regex attribute on the string validator could be useful - in fact, the email validator could then just call the string validator and supply a default email regex.

BTW - Mailgun released their validation tool: https://github.com/mailgun/flanker

I added a regex validation rule instead, which of course makes email validation a snap (see the test, or the documentation example).

Great, thanks.
