Email Address

Alias: Umbraco.EmailAddress

Returns: String

Displays an email address.

Settings

Enable required checkbox (8.7.0 and below)

If the property is set to mandatory, Umbraco will display a warning label under the property editor when you publish the page this editor is located on and clean the input. This functionality has been deprecated in 8.8.0 and above. Instead, you select the mandatory checkbox when adding the property editor to a Document Type.

Data Type Definition Example

Content Example

MVC View Example

Without Modelsbuilder

@if (Model.HasValue("email"))
{
    var emailAddress = Model.Value<string>("email");
    <p>@emailAddress</p>
}

With Modelsbuilder

@if (!Model.HasValue(Model.Email))
{
    var emailAddress = Model.Email;
    <p>@emailAddress</p>
}

Add value programmatically

See the example below to learn how a value can be added or changed programmatically to an Email-address property. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.

@{
    // Get access to ContentService
    var contentService = Services.ContentService;

    // Create a variable for the GUID of your page
    var guid = new Guid("796a8d5c-b7bb-46d9-bc57-ab834d0d1248");

    // Get the page using the GUID you've just defined
    var content = contentService.GetById(guid);
    // Set the value of the property with alias 'email'
    content.SetValue("email", "stk@umbraco.com");

    // Save the change
    contentService.Save(content);
}
