Feature Request: Configurable field type/schema

[fthues]

Thanks for the plugin!

It would be great to be able to define the database column type of the readonly field. Right now it's hardcoded to Schema::TYPE_STRING, but we need Schema::TYPE_INTEGER instead.

Yeah, we've been thinking about that, too. But then you will have to offer Float as well. And in both cases you need a way to define the format for the output, right?

This issue is pretty old, but it helped me figure out how to create the field I needed (Schema::TYPE_TEXT) for content length. I just extended the class with what I needed. I'm throwing this here in case someone else needs something similar.

<?php

namespace modules\fields;

use Craft;
use yii\db\Schema;

class ReadonlyTextField extends \codemonauts\readonly\fields\ReadonlyField
{
    public string $columnType = Schema::TYPE_TEXT;

    public static function displayName(): string
    {
        return Craft::t('app', 'Read-only Field (Large)');
    }
}
