Introduction
Data Modules in Corteza are built with data fields. There are many different types of data fields. Each Field Type can have:
Attributes. These allow us to customize a Field Type to our needs e.g. turn a number into a measure of currency or weight.
Sanitizers. These allow us to clean up data before it is saved e.g. round a number with 7 decimal places to a number with 2 decimal places.
Validators. These allow us to determine if a field value is a valid entry or not e.g. someone's age should not be a negative number.
This guide concerns itself only with Attributes for the named Field Type. Sanitizer and Validators are the subject of a separate guide which can be found here.
To access Data Modules, click on the "Admin Panel" on the top of the left menu bar in any Corteza app.
The URL Input Field Type
The Text Input Field type in Corteza creates three different fields for entering texts. Once the Text Input Field Type has been selected in the "Edit Module" page, click on the Wrench icon to the right of the field type in order to tailor its attributes.
Several configuration options are presented:
"URL" imposes the full https:// format
"Trim" removes # and ? from URL's
An option to impose SSL (https://) encrypted format only
An option to not have the URL clickable and presented in plain text only
Once you have made your choices, hit "Save and close". When back in the "Edit Module" page, hit "Save" again to save the Module changes.
