ComposedField
Log in to add to favouritesThe ComposedField
type contains the data that the Composer editor defines. It contains a list of ComposedFieldItem instances, which expose Type and Value properties. The Value property allows data for the field to be retrieved or set. The Type property is a name given to an allowed field type validation defined in the content type that the entry is based on.
An allowed field type is essentially any standard field (such as Image, Heading, Location, etc.) that restricts what types of field can be added to a ComposedField
.
For example, an allowed field could be defined with a type of Heading and given a type name of "mainHeading" or with a type of Image and given a type name of "bannerImage". There can be multiple allowed fields based on the same type, but a ComposedField
cannot contain other ComposedField
fields.
Adding field items
Add overload
The ComposedField type inherits from List<ComposedFieldItem>
with an additional Add method.
public void Add(string type, object value)
{
}
Remarks
The item added using this method will be appended to the end of the list.
Example
// Get the ComposedField instance
ComposedField composed = movieEntry.Get<ComposedField>("synopsis");
// Add a heading
composed.Add("heading", "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...");
// Add a location
composed.Add("hq", new Location(52.415936, -2.6417701));
List methods
Examples
// Get the ComposedField instance
ComposedField composed = movieEntry.Get<ComposedField>("synopsis");
// Add a item to the end of the field
composed.Add(new ComposedFieldItem("paragraph", "<p>The story starts with...</p>"));
// Insert an item at a specific index
composed.Insert(4, new ComposedFieldItem("featureQuote", new Quote("I find your lack of faith disturbing.", "Darth Vader")));
// Remove an item at a specific index
composed.RemoveAt(3);
