ui:inputEmail | Lightning Components Developer’s Guide

A ui:inputEmail component represents an email input field, which is rendered as an HTML input tag of type email. To render the output from a ui:inputEmail component, use the ui:outputEmail component.

This is a basic set up of an email field.

1<ui:inputEmail aura:id="email" label="Email" placeholder="abc@email.com"/>

This example results in the following HTML.

1<div class="uiInput uiInputEmail">
2  <label class="uiLabel-left uiLabel">
3    <span>Email</span>
4  </label>
5  <input placeholder="abc@email.com" type="email" class="uiInput uiInputEmail">
6</div>

This example retrieves the value of a ui:inputEmail component and displays it using ui:outputEmail.

1<aura:component>
2    <ui:inputEmail aura:id="email" label="Email" class="field" value="manager@email.com"/>  
3    <ui:button class="btn" label="Submit" press="{!c.setOutput}"/>

5 <div aura:id="msg" class="hide">
6     You entered: <ui:outputEmail aura:id="oEmail" value="Email" />
7 </div>
