Self-Hosted Components

Group Field

Table of Contents

This is an advanced-use feature, and likely not something you'll need to configure. What you probably want is the content types reference!

The group field represents a group of values. This field is best used when there is a single group to be edited, typically with a single JSON object or nested frontmatter values. If there are multiple groups, checkout the group-list field.

tinacms-date-field

interface GroupConfig {

component: 'group'

}

Definition

If the source JSON for the example contact info looked like this:

{
"contact": {
"email": "hello@tinacms.org",
"twitter_handle": "tinacms",
"github_handle": "tinacms"
}
}

Our form options would look like this:

const formOptions = {
label: 'Info Page',
fields: [
{
label: 'Contact Info',
name: 'rawJson.contact',
description: 'Contact info',
component: 'group',
fields: [
{
label: 'Email',
name: 'email',
description: 'Contact email',
component: 'text',
},
{
label: 'Twitter',
name: 'twitter_handle',
description: 'Twitter handle',
component: 'text',
},
{
label: 'GitHub',
name: 'github_handle',
description: 'GitHub username',
component: 'text',
},
],
},
//...
],
}
