Here is an example of how to use the input control in a post meta configuration:
[
'fieldType' => 'input',
'name' => 'post_input',
'fieldLabel' => 'Post Input',
'required' => false,
'disabled' => false,
'hideLabelFromVision' => false,
'fieldHelpText' => 'Enter a value.',
'className' => 'custom-class',
'fieldLabelPosition' => 'top',
'fieldLabelTextTransform' => 'uppercase',
'size' => 'default',
'placeholder' => 'Enter value...',
'type' => 'text',
'isPressEnterToChange' => false,
]
3) Hook-Based Example (Post Meta Config)
It is available to use this control in post meta fields, term meta fields and user settings page and options page fields.
Available hooks:
- native_custom_fields_post_meta_fields
- native_custom_fields_term_meta_fields
- native_custom_fields_user_meta_fields
- native_custom_fields_options_page_fields
add_filter( 'native_custom_fields_post_meta_fields', function( array $configs ): array {
$post_type = 'book';
if ( ! isset( $configs[ $post_type ] ) || ! is_array( $configs[ $post_type ] ) ) {
$configs[ $post_type ] = [
'post_type' => $post_type,
'sections' => [],
];
}
$configs[ $post_type ]['sections'][] = [
'meta_box_id' => 'post_options',
'meta_box_title' => 'Post Options',
'meta_box_context' => 'side',
'meta_box_priority' => 'default',
'fields' => [
[
