$field_name. * - type (string) * The type of the field, such as 'text' or 'image'.

Deleted * fields are ignored by the Field Attach API. This property exists * because fields can be marked for deletion but only actually * destroyed by a separate garbage-collection process. * - columns (array, read-only). * An array of the Field API columns used to store each value of * this field. The column list may depend on field settings; it is * not constant per field type. Field API column specifications are * exactly like Schema API column specifications but, depending on * the field storage module in use, the name of the column may not * represent an actual column in an SQL database. * - settings (array) * A sub-array of key/value pairs of field-type-specific settings. Each * field type module defines and documents its own field settings. * * Field Instance objects are (currently) represented as an array of * key/value pairs. The object properties are: * * @param array $instance: * - id (integer, read-only) * The primary identifier of this field instance. It is assigned * automatically by field_create_instance(). * - field_id (integer, read-only) * The foreign key of the field attached to the bundle by this instance. * It is populated automatically by field_create_instance(). * - field_name (string) * The name of the field attached to the bundle by this instance. * - bundle (string) * The name of the bundle that the field is attached to. * - label (string) * A human-readable label for the field when used with this * bundle. For example, the label will be the title of Form API * elements for this instance. * - description (string) * A human-readable description for the field when used with this * bundle. For example, the description will be the help text of * Form API elements for this instance. * - weight (float) * The order in which the field should be sorted relative * to other fields when used with this bundle. The weight affects * ordering in both forms (see field_attach_form()) and rendered output * (see field_attach_view()). * TODO - this should probably become a context setting so that * the weight can be different in the form and in various other * contexts. * - required (integer) * TRUE if a value for this field is required when used with this * bundle, FALSE otherwise. Currently, required-ness is only enforced * during Form API operations, not by field_attach_load(), * field_attach_insert(), or field_attach_update(). * - default_value_function (string) * The name of the function, if any, that will provide a default value. * - deleted (integer, read-only) * TRUE if this instance has been deleted, FALSE otherwise. * Deleted instances are ignored by the Field Attach API. * This property exists because instances can be marked for deletion but * only actually destroyed by a separate garbage-collection process. * - settings (array) * A sub-array of key/value pairs of field-type-specific instance * settings. Each field type module defines and documents its own * instance settings. * - widget (array) * A sub-array of key/value pairs identifying the Form API input widget * for the field when used by this bundle. * - type (string) * The type of the widget, such as text_textfield. Widget types * are defined by modules that implement hook_field_widget_info(). * - module (string, read-only) * The name of the module that implements the widget type. * - active (integer, read-only) * TRUE if the module that implements the widget type is currently * enabled, FALSE otherwise. * - settings (array) * A sub-array of key/value pairs of widget-type-specific settings. * Each field widget type module defines and documents its own * widget settings. * - display (array) * A sub-array of key/value pairs identifying display contexts * and the way the field should be displayed in that context. * TODO more work to do here. * - (context_1) * - label * - exclude * - type * - settings * - ... * - module (internal) * - (context 2) * - ... * * TODO D7 : document max length for field types, widget types, * formatter names... */ /** * @} End of "defgroup field_structs". */ /** * @defgroup field_crud Field CRUD API * @{ * Create, update, and delete Field API fields, bundles, and instances. * * Modules use this API, often in hook_install(), to create custom * data structures.
