Non-rendering field carrying a value through the form.
| Builder | F.hidden(attribute: string): HiddenField |
| Wire type key | hidden |
| Class chain | HiddenField → Field |
| Detail projection | text-entry |
| Column counterpart | — (not tabulatable) |
Example
import { F } from '@adonia/core'
F.hidden('authorId').valueType('number').default(42)Props
Beyond the shared field DSL:
| Prop | Declared on | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
valueType(type: HiddenValueType): this |
HiddenField |
Declares the underlying scalar type (§11.1). Defaults to string, matching what an <input type="hidden"> submits; declare number or boolean when the attribute is one, so the validator coerces and the fill writes the right primitive instead of a numeric string. |
Validation
Vine base: vine.number(), vine.boolean(), vine.string().
§11.1 mapping: the declared underlying type, vine.string() by default.
Contributed by HiddenField.vineSchema() in packages/core/src/schema/fields/hidden.ts. The shared modifiers (required, nullable, requiredWhen, unique, optionality) are applied on top by Field.buildValidation, and a rules() override replaces the base entirely — the validator compiler never branches on the field class.
