Content properties

These properties appear in the Content tab of the property pane.

Type

Data type string

Sets the type of data the field takes. For this widget it is Password. Options:

• Single-line text
• Multi-line text
• Number
• Password
• Email
• Phone number
• Currency
• Date

When you pick a different type, the widget changes into the matching widget. For example, Single-line text changes it into an Input.

Data

Value string

Sets the starting text of the field. When this value changes, the field updates to the new value. Numbers are turned into text.

Example:

{{AnvilTable1.selectedRow.password}}

Label

Text string

The label shown above the field. Default: Label.

Validation

This section shows only when Readonly is off.

Required boolean

Makes the field mandatory. If a user clears the field, it shows "This field is required." Off by default.

Regex string

Checks the value against a regular expression. If the value does not match, the field is invalid and shows Error message.

Example:

^.{8,}$

Valid boolean

Sets whether the value is valid, using a JavaScript expression. If the expression returns false, the field is invalid and shows Error message. Default: true.

Example:

{{PasswordInput1.text !== "password"}}
