Properties​

Field​

• Optional Field: ComponentType<FieldProps<EntityReference, any, any>>

If you need to render a custom field, you can create a component that takes FieldProps as props. You receive the value, a function to update the value and additional utility props such as if there is an error. You can customize it by passing custom props that are received in the component.

Inherited from​

Preview​

• Optional Preview: ComponentType<PropertyPreviewProps<EntityReference, any, Record<string, any>>>

Defined in​

packages/firecms/src/types/properties.ts:88

path​

Absolute collection path of the collection this reference points to. The collection of the entity is inferred based on the root navigation, so the filters and search delegate existing there are applied to this view as well. You can leave this prop undefined if the path is not yet know, e.g. you are using a property builder and the path depends on a different property. Note that you can also use a collection alias.
