Introduction

Components are the smallest building blocks in Unqork. You'll use them to build out the structure and functionality of your modules. Components range in purpose, from creating simple fields to making complex API calls. The simplest and most common components are in the Primary Fields group.

What are the Primary Fields?

Let's get an overview of each Primary Field component.

Text Field

Text Field components display alphanumeric values that can fit on a single line. Use a Text Field component for short-form information, like allowing end-users End-users, also known as Express Users, are the individuals accessing an application through Express View. In most cases, end-users are the customers using the product. to enter their name. You can also use a Text Field component to display values another component passes to it.

Text Area

The Text Area Component is part of the core range of input components that lets the end-user End-users, also known as Express Users, are the individuals accessing an application through Express View. In most cases, end-users are the customers using the product. enter multiple lines of text. For example, an end-user can enter a paragraph of information that goes into as much detail as necessary. You can also use a Text Area component to display values passed to it from another component.

Checkboxes

With a Checkboxes component, you can create a question with more than one possible answer. Use this component if you want your end-user to select more than one option from a list.

Multi-Select Dropdown

The Multi-Select Dropdown component lets you show a long list of options in a compact form. This component shares almost all functionality with the standard Dropdown component. But the Multi-Select option lets your end-user make more than one selection. This component also allows for custom styling where the standard Dropdown doesn't.

Radio Buttons

The Radio Buttons component offers a quick way to select between mutually exclusive options. If you need to ask a yes or no question, the Radio Buttons component is a good choice.

Dropdown

The Dropdown component lets you display a list of options to your end-user End-users, also known as Express Users, are the individuals accessing an application through Express View. In most cases, end-users are the customers using the product. while only using minimal space. Options in a Dropdown component only display when your end-user clicks to open them. Once they make a selection, the list closes. A Dropdown allows you to make the most of the space in your module.

Number

Number fields can collect number values such as integers, decimals, or percentages. Unlike Text Field components, an end-user End-users, also known as Express Users, are the individuals accessing an application through Express View. In most cases, end-users are the customers using the product. can only input numbers into this field.

Date Input

The Date Input component is a way for end-users to select a date while using an application. The component validates every selection by capturing a year, month, and day.

When you add the Date Input component, you give your end-user two options for selecting a date. They can either use the built-in date picker widget. Or, they can enter their needed date manually.

Single Checkbox

The Single Checkbox component gives your end-user a single checkbox option for selection. The end-user can either select the checkbox or leave it clear.
