Validate email and telephone data

We are designing a WD app for external users to register for system access. Need to know what the best practices are to validate user information such as email, telephone etc. Dont see any built-in data types to validate above data inputs.

Is there a way to create context attributes of special types (email, telephone etc.), bind them to UI elements, so that when the user submits the form, the WD data type validation kicks in and they get something like an "Invalid Data Format" message ?

Do let me know. Thanks !
