DASH: Numeric editor

[Tomasz Pluskiewicz]

I think a dash:NumberEditor should be added to the vocabulary.

I would define it to apply to properties where sh:datatype is xsd:float, xsd:double or any subtype of xsd:decimal.

Not sure, but I my gut tells me that a dedicated viewer type is not necessary

Best,

Tom

Currently, editing numbers is covered by http://datashapes.org/forms.html#TextFieldEditor

The widget itself can for example activate <input type="number"> based on the provided datatype.

What other number editors that do not resemble text input fields exist?

Regards
Holger

I see, although I find the fact that plain HTML uses <input type="number"> an implementation detail and would rather differentiate the editors based on intended lexical values they expect. Does the name TextFieldEditor suggest that it should be used for string exclusively?

And dates in plain HTML are also using <input type="date"> after all.

For me right now it is a little awkward as I load required editors dynamically by their (dash) identifier. With dash:TextFieldEditor being overloaded I have to load multiple components (separate for plain text and separate for numbers). It not a really big deal but something to consider

For numeric editors I cannot quite think of other types of editors than text fields (and yes TextFieldEditor is supposed to work with all literal types). Could you elaborate which other editors exist? And where would this stop - separate editors for all xsd datatypes? SHACL-aware tools can and should collect the datatype info from the context, i.e. the property shapes.

Right, but a date picker is quite different from a text field (which could potentially also work to enter yyyy-MM-dd format.

So you can not use sh:datatype? I guess you always have the option of defining your own editors then - no need to limit yourself to the built-in dash ones.
