String Fields

A text input field used to store short-form content, such as titles or descriptions.

For indents, embolding and other formatting, use the rich-text field type instead.

Type Definition

For additional properties common to all Field types, check the Field type definition.

Examples

Simple field

{
  type: 'string',
  name: 'title',
  label: 'Title'
}

Simple list field

Setting list: true will make the value an array

{
  type: 'string',
  name: 'title',
  label: 'Title',
  list: true
}

Field with text area component

By default, the text field is used for strings. To use a different core field plugin, specify it with the ui.component property.

{
  label: "Description",
  name: "description",
  type: "string",
  ui: {
    component: "textarea"
  }
}

Field with custom component

You can create your own components for the TinaCMS editor to store String type content.

{
  label: "Title",
  name: "title",
  type: "string",
  ui: {
    component: ({ input }) => {
      return (
        <div>
          <label htmlFor="title">Title: </label>
          <input {...input}></input>
        </div>
      );
    },
  },
}
