Overview of the property types for components in edoc automate

You can define any properties for components. You can assign a corresponding value to the various properties in the editor when integrating a component into a view.

The type can be defined in the AbstractComponent::addProperty($name, $type, array $options = [], $defaultValue = null, $hidden = false) method with the $type parameter. The supported types are defined by constants (AbstractComponent::PROP_TYPE_INPUT, AbstractComponent::PROP_TYPE_NUMBER, AbstractComponent::PROP_TYPE_SELECT, AbstractComponent::PROP_TYPE_BOOL).

The specified value of a property can be queried in the component using the AbstractComponent::param($name, $default = null) method.

The following types are available in edoc automate:

Type	Description	Options
INPUT	Is a simple text input field.	-
NUMBER	Is a simple number input field.	min: Is the minimum value. max: Is the maximum value. value: Is the default value.
SELECT	Is a selection field with predefined values.	options: Is a list of selection values for the select field.
BOOLEAN	Is a yes/no selection.	-
