    Url

    A URL input field with validation

    The url field is a standard text field with the type url and a custom URL icon. It comes with built-in validation for URLs.

    The URL validation may lead to incorrect results (= a valid URL being marked as invalid or the other way around) in rare edge-cases. In those edge-cases you can manually input the URL into the content text files or switch to a simple text field.

    Example

    fields:
  url:
    label: URL
    type: url

    Field properties

    Name Type Default Description
    $after mixed null Optional text that will be shown after the input
    $autocomplete string 'url' Sets the HTML5 autocomplete attribute
    $autofocus bool null Sets the focus on this field when the form loads. Only the first field with this label gets
    $before mixed null Optional text that will be shown before the input
    $default mixed null Default value for the field, which will be used when a page/file/user is created
    $disabled bool null If true, the field is no longer editable and will not be saved

    $required bool null If true, the field has to be filled in correctly to be saved.

    $width string '1/1' The width of the field in the field grid, e.g. 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 2/3, 3/4

    How to use in templates/snippets

    Output the field value as simple string:

    <?= $page->url() ?>

    Convert to a tag:

    <?= $page->url()->toLink() ?>

    See the docs for the toLink() method for further options.
