Textarray Field

Stores an Array of String values in the model.

Options

separator String

Used to join the strings in the array to create a single formatted value.

Defaults to " | ";

Methods

format(separator)

Concatenates all values with the separator argument and returns a string.

separator defaults to the option specified for the field.

updateItem(item, data, callback)

Updates the item with the provided value. Simple values will be wrapped in an Array, and values in the array will be coerced into Strings before saving.

validateInput

Ensures the value, if provided, is an Array of Strings (or a single String value).

Allows null to clear the field value.

validateRequiredInput

Ensures a value has been provided. Empty strings are not valid.

Filtering

Accepts a value, mode, and presence. It can also be case sensitive.

When presence is "some", items with the value in the array (one or more times) are matched. When presence is "none", items that do not have the value in the array are matched.

{
    caseSensitive: Boolean,
    mode: String enum ['contains', 'exactly', 'beginsWith', 'endsWith'],
    presence: String enum ['some', 'none']
    value: String,
}

Default filter arguments are:

{
    caseSensitive: false,
    mode: 'contains',
    presence: 'some',
    value: '',
}

Modes

• contains (default)

• exactly

  Items with exactly the provided value at the field’s path will be found.

• beginsWith

  Items with the provided value at the start of the stored value at field’s path will be found using a regular expression.

• endsWith

  Items with the provided value at the end of the stored value at field’s path will be found using a regular expression.
