## Custom validators
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Not supported - Here is the reason behind it:*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Custom validators](https://getkirby.com/docs/developer-guide/objects/validators) does not work with Engineer. The are a few reasons why it's not supported. Speed and usability are two of the reasons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Engineer uses an inline approach with pure javascript. It has no delay when adding new fields, so you can add many fields very quickly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Even if Engineer does not support custom validators, it does support html5 form validation. For example, a number field will warn you if it's not a number. Engineer also escapes the data when needed before saving it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Built in field support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Engineer has some limitations but it supports almost every built in field. Read more about the [field support](docs/fields.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Plugin field support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most plugins will probably work out of the box, but there are some limitations. You need to try it out and see if it works. In the future I will probably add a list with supported plugin fields as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Row limit
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's a planned feature but is not implemented in the current version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## License needed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you already bought a Kirby license, then the Structure field is free to use, because it's built in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Engineer field have been taken some time to develop so I made the decision to take a license fee for it. That way I can continue to maintain it.
