Common Field Props

All field components share a common set of props. These are defined in FieldProps and accepted by every field in Strato Admin.

Common Props

All field components accept these props.

source

The property path in the record to display.

<TextField source="name" />
<TextField source="address.city" />

label

The column header or form label for the field. If omitted, it is inferred from source (e.g. "firstName" → "First name").

<TextField source="firstName" label="Given name" />

link

Wraps the displayed value in a Cloudscape Link. Accepts:

Value	Behavior
true	Links to the record's detail page
"detail"	Links to the record's detail page
"edit"	Links to the record's edit page
(record, resource) => string	Custom URL from a function

<TextField source="name" link="detail" />
<TextField source="name" link={(record) => `/custom/${record.id}`} />

emptyText

Text (or element) to render when the field value is null, undefined, or an empty string.

<TextField source="nickname" emptyText="—" />

sortable

Whether the column is sortable when rendered in a table. Defaults to true.

<TextField source="name" sortable={false} />

Form Input Props

These props control how the field's auto-inferred form input behaves in create/edit forms.

input

Controls the inferred input component for this field. Accepts:

Value	Behavior
Object	Extra props merged into the inferred input
ReactElement	Replaces the inferred input entirely
false	Excludes the field from all forms

// Pass extra props to the inferred input
<TextField source="slug" input={{ disabled: true }} />

// Use a completely different input
<TextField source="body" input={<TextareaInput />} />

// Hide from forms (e.g. system-managed fields)
<TextField source="createdAt" input={false} />

isRequired

Marks the field as required. Adds validation to the inferred form input and may show a required indicator.

<TextField source="name" isRequired />

description

Help text shown below the input in forms.

<TextField source="slug" description="Used in the URL. Lowercase letters and hyphens only." />

constraintText

Constraint text shown below the input in forms, typically describing allowed values.

<NumberField source="stock" constraintText="Must be 0 or greater." />
