Custom Fields

If you are not satisfied with the available field, you can create your own custom fields. There is only a few steps:
1.These custom fields are like any custom components expect the need to use VueFormGenerator.abstractField as a mixins:
<!-- fieldAwesome.vue -->
<template>
    <input
        class="form-control"
        type="text"
        v-model="value"
        :disabled="disabled"
        :maxlength="schema.max"
        :placeholder="schema.placeholder"
        :readonly="schema.readonly" >
</template>
​
<script>
   import { abstractField } from "vue-form-generator";
​
   export default {
         mixins: [ abstractField ]
   };
</script>
2.Register the new field as a global components. Registered name must validate this RegExp: (field)[A-Z][A-z]*.
 /* main.js */
 import Vue from "vue";
 import VueFormGenerator from "vue-form-generator";
​
 // Register my awesome field
 import fieldAwesome from "./fieldAwesome.vue";
 Vue.component("fieldAwesome", fieldAwesome);
​
 Vue.use(VueFormGenerator);
3.Last step is to use it in your schema
var schema: {
   fields: [{
       type: "awesome",
       label: "Awesome (custom field)",
       model: "userName"
   }]
};
If you decide to release your custom field into the wild, please open a new issue so we can add you to a list on the README. Please try to use this naming convention for your custom field : vfg-field-* Exemple :
vfg-field-myfield
vfg-field-calendar
vfg-field-awesome-dropdown
This way, it will be easier for everyone to find it. Thank you !
