widget

  • Property of Type
  • New in Lektor Version 2.0

It's currently not yet possible to create your own widgets for the admin panel but you can select one of the built-in widgets for your own type. Note that not all widgets will necessarily will work directly with your type as such. For instance the select widget and some others will currently require some extra values be supplied in the to_json method.

Example

from lektor.types import Type

class MyThingType(Type):
    widget = 'singleline-text'

    def value_from_raw(self, raw):
        return raw.value

Available Widgets

These widgets are currently available:

  • singleline-text: single-line text input field
  • multiline-text: multi-line text input field
  • datepicker: a date input field (currently not yet an actual date picker)
  • integer: an integer input field
  • float: a floating point value input field
  • checkbox: a checkbox
  • url: a URL input field
  • slug: input field for URL slugs
  • checkboxes: an input field with multiple checkboxes *
  • select: an input field in the form of a select box *

* checkboxes and select require a choices list to be supplied which is a list of [value, label] tuples where value is the stored value and label is a dictionary of internationalized values for the UI. For more information you will currently have to refer to the Lektor sourcecode.
