validator¶

The validator to use for this field. If the validator provides a client side validator, then text will only be submitted if it passes that validator.

submit_triggers¶

The list of actions which should cause the client to submit its text to the server for validation and update. The currently supported values are ‘lost_focus’, ‘return_pressed’, and ‘auto’. The ‘auto_sync’ mode will attempt to validate and synchronize the text when the user stops typing.

placeholder¶

The grayed-out text to display if the field is empty and the widget doesn’t have focus. Defaults to the empty string.

The maximum length of the field in characters. The default value is Zero and indicates there is no maximum length.

read_only¶
