Dropdown
If you want to allow an user to select a value from the predefined list you can use dropdown list or the radio buttons.
Dropdown field has a special parameter to define available option values and their labels:
{
"name": "layoutFrontpage",
"label": "Frontpage layout",
"group": "Layout",
"value": "cols-3",
"type": "select",
"options": [
{
"label": "1 column",
"value": "cols-1",
"disabled": false
},
{
"label": "2 columns",
"value": "cols-2",
"disabled": false
},
{
"label": "3 columns",
"value": "cols-3",
"disabled": false
}
]
}
Above code will generate a select list with three options:
You can make some options unavailable using the disabled field for each option.
It is also possible to group fields using the <optgroup>
element - to achieve this, just use the group
parameter for options:
"options": [
{
"label": "1 column",
"value": "cols-1",
"group": "GROUP 1"
},
{
"label": "2 columns",
"value": "cols-2",
"group": "GROUP 2"
},
{
"label": "3 columns",
"value": "cols-3"
}
]
In the above case - first option will be in the GROUP 1, second option will be in the GROUP 2 and third option will remain ungrouped.
If you need to add more options to the given group - just use the same group name for these options. Options will use the same ordering as in the JSON structure.
