Fields in JSON
Each key-value pair in the object represents a field that is exposed. The string key acts as the identifier for the field. The structure of the field object is described below.
Fields object
The Fields Object specifies how to render an input field used to collect the input from a user that is required for a component to work properly.
For example, the fields object is used for providing credentials to authenticate with the given API or to configure a trigger/action with some parameters:
| Property Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
label |
string |
Yes |
Label for the input field |
viewClass |
string |
Yes |
Specifies how to render an input field |
required |
boolean |
Specifies whether a value for this input is required or not. If not present then the value is false by default |
|
model |
object or string |
Used only with SelectView to define the available options for selection. If the value is of type object, the property name of this JSON object is used as option keys and the values as option labels. Instead of defining a JSON object, it is possible to use a name of a function exposed by a component that returns such a JSON object. |
|
prompt |
string |
Used only with SelectView or SelectPropertyView when no option is selected |
|
prefix |
string |
Used with TextFieldView or TextFieldWithNoteView to display a prefix for an input field. |
|
suffix |
string |
Used with TextFieldView or TextFieldWithNoteView to display a suffix for an input field. |
|
require |
string |
Specifies an array of field names that this field depends on and requires to be valid. |
|
placeholder |
string |
Used to pre-fill descriptive text on an HTML form. |
Any object implementation is directly connected with one or several View Class definitions, therefore it is advisable to check them as well.
