Text

Single-line string field. The most common field type.

SQLite Storage

TEXT column.

Definition

crap.fields.text({
    name = "title",
    required = true,
    unique = true,
    default_value = "Untitled",
    admin = {
        placeholder = "Enter title",
        description = "The display title",
    },
})

Multi-Value (has_many)

Store multiple text values as a JSON array in a TEXT column. Renders as a tag-style input in the admin UI.

crap.fields.text({
    name = "tags",
    has_many = true,
    min_length = 2,   -- each tag must be at least 2 chars
    max_rows = 10,    -- at most 10 tags
})

• Values are stored as ["tag1","tag2","tag3"] in the TEXT column
• min_length / max_length validate each individual value
• min_rows / max_rows validate the count of values
• Duplicate values are prevented in the admin UI
• Type generation maps to string[] / Vec<String> / list[str] etc.

Admin Rendering

Renders as an <input type="text"> element. When has_many = true, renders as a tag input where users type and press Enter to add chips.

Notes

• Empty strings are stored as NULL in SQLite
• Unknown field types default to text
