Warning

The changes requested by setters in this API are not applied immediately. They are batched and their application is postponed until the onInit or onChange callback execution ends. This means that reading the values using getters will always provide the initial form field state, which is immutable.

getId

getId(): string

Returns the field's ID.

getType

getType(): FieldType

Returns the field's type.

setName

setName(value: string): FieldAPI

Changes the field's name.

Example:

field.setName('New name for the field');

getName

getName(): string

Returns the field's name.

setDescription

setDescription(value: string): FieldAPI

Changes the field's description.

Example:

field.setDescription('This the description!');

getDescription

getDescription(): string

Returns the field’s description.

setRequired

setRequired(value: boolean): FieldAPI

Set a given field as required. Fields required by system configuration can't be set to non-required. Example:

Returns true if the field is currently required. Returns false otherwise.
