Custom fields
If you need a custom field for your property you can do it by passing a React
component to the Field
prop of a property config
. The React component must
accept the props of type FieldProps
.
The bare minimum you need to implement
is a field that displays the received value
and uses the setValue
callback.
You can also pass custom props to your custom field, which you then receive in
the customProps
prop.
If you are developing a custom field and need to access the values of the
entity, you can use the context
field in FieldProps.
You can check all the props FieldProps
Example​
This is an example of a custom TextField that takes the background color as a prop
import React from "react";
import { TextField } from "@mui/material";
import { FieldDescription, FieldProps } from "@camberi/firecms";
interface CustomColorTextFieldProps {
color: string
}
export default function CustomColorTextField({
property,
value,
setValue,
customProps,
touched,
error,
isSubmitting,
context, // the rest of the entity values here
...props
}: FieldProps<string, CustomColorTextFieldProps>) {
return (
<>
<TextField required={property.validation?.required}
sx={{
backgroundColor: customProps.color
}}
error={!!error}
disabled={isSubmitting}
label={property.title}
value={value ?? ""}
onChange={(evt: any) => {
setValue(
evt.target.value
);
}}
helperText={error}
fullWidth
variant={"filled"}/>
<FieldDescription property={property}/>
</>
);
}
...and how it is used:
export const blogSchema = buildCollection({
name: "Blog entry",
properties: {
// ...
gold_text: {
title: "Gold text",
description: "This field is using a custom component defined by the developer",
dataType: "string",
config: {
Field: CustomColorTextField,
customProps: {
color: "gold"
}
}
}
}
});
