String Schema

Android - 8.25.0 iOS - 11539 Web - 2.5.0

Represents a string value in the submission.

This could be used for standard text input, or a format can be provided to specify a particular type of string (e.g. a date).

When not provided, the submission value is null.

Properties

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
$idStringNoA unique id which can be used to refer to the schema.
acceptsArray<String>NoArray of MIME types the field should accept. If null, any type of file is accepted. Wildcard MIME types are allowed, but support for them varies from platform to platform. Clients must support at least image, audio, and video. Any unrecognised MIME types will be ignored.
alertAlertLayoutNoConfigure an alert which will be displayed above the UI for this schema. This can be used to provide warnings or additional information to the user, but shouldn't be used for validation. For client-side validation please see the validation available on each schema type, or see Validate Async and Action for server-side validation.
analyticsIdStringNoAn internal id which is attached to analytics events relating to the schema. It allows you to override $id during event emission, it is not user-facing and does not have to be unique within the step.
