# Available types for text fields

The listed types here trigger a special input element. Use them in `tagrendering.freeform.type` of your tagrendering to activate them

## string

A basic string

## text

A string, but allows input of longer strings more comfortably (a text area)

## date

A date

## direction

A geographical direction, in degrees. 0° is north, 90° is east, ... Will return a value between 0 (incl) and 360 (excl)

## length

A geographical length in meters (rounded at two points). Will give an extra minimap with a measurement tool. Arguments: [ zoomlevel, preferredBackgroundMapType (comma separated) ], e.g. `["21", "map,photo"]

## wikidata

A wikidata identifier, e.g. Q42. 
### Helper arguments 

 

name | doc
------ | -----
key | the value of this tag will initialize search (default: name)
options | A JSON-object of type `{ removePrefixes: string[], removePostfixes: string[] }`. 

subarg | doc
-------- | -----
removePrefixes | remove these snippets of text from the start of the passed string to search
removePostfixes | remove these snippets of text from the end of the passed string to search

 
### Example usage 

 The following is the 'freeform'-part of a layer config which will trigger a search for the wikidata item corresponding with the name of the selected feature. It will also remove '-street', '-square', ... if found at the end of the name

```
"freeform": {
                "key": "name:etymology:wikidata",
                "type": "wikidata",
                "helperArgs": [
                    "name",
                    {
                        "removePostfixes": [
                            "street",
                            "boulevard",
                            "path",
                            "square",
                            "plaza",
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
            ```

## int

## opening_hours

### Helper arguments 

 

name | doc
------ | -----
options | A JSON-object of type `{ prefix: string, postfix: string }`.  

subarg | doc
-------- | -----
prefix | Piece of text that will always be added to the front of the generated opening hours. If the OSM-data does not start with this, it will fail to parse
postfix | Piece of text that will always be added to the end of the generated opening hours

 
### Example usage 

 To add a conditional (based on time) access restriction:

```

            "freeform": {
                "key": "access:conditional",
                "type": "opening_hours",
                "helperArgs": [
                    {
                      "prefix":"no @ (",
                      "postfix":")"
                    }
                ]
            }```

*Don't forget to pass these in the rendering as well*: `{opening_hours_table(opening_hours,yes @ &LPARENS, &RPARENS )`
