The Field class and basic fields
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. Note::
  Fields are used to control what's edited in forms. They makes the link between
  something to edit and its display in the form. Actual display is handled by a
  widget associated to the field.

Let first see the base class for fields:

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.Field

Now, you usually don't use that class but one of the concret field classes
described below, according to what you want to edit.

Basic fields
''''''''''''

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.StringField()
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.PasswordField()
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.IntField()
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.FloatField()
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.BooleanField()
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.DateField()
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.DateTimeField()
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.TimeField()

Compound fields
''''''''''''''''

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.RichTextField()
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.FileField()
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.formfields.CompoundField()

.. autoclass cubicweb.web.formfields.EditableFileField() XXX should be a widget

Entity specific fields and function

    of attributes which may be used for fine control of the behaviour of a
    concret field.

    **Attributes**

    All the attributes described below have sensible default value which may be
    overriden by named arguments given to field's constructor.

    :attr:`name`
       base name of the field (basestring). The actual input name is returned by
       the :meth:`input_name` method and may differ from that name (for instance
       if `eidparam` is true).
    :attr:`id`
       DOM identifier (default to the same value as `name`), should be unique in
       a form.
    :attr:`label`
       label of the field (default to the same value as `name`).
    :attr:`help`
       help message about this field.
    :attr:`widget`
       widget associated to the field. Each field class has a default widget
       class which may be overriden per instance.
    :attr:`value`
       field value. May be an actual value or a callable which should take the
       form as argument and return a value.
    :attr:`choices`
       static vocabulary for this field. May be a list of values, a list of
       (label, value) tuples or a callable which should take the form and field
       as arguments and return a list of values or a list of (label, value).
    :attr:`required`
       bool flag telling if the field is required or not.
    :attr:`sort`
       bool flag telling if the vocabulary (either static vocabulary specified
       in `choices` or dynamic vocabulary fetched from the form) should be
       sorted on label.
    :attr:`internationalizable`
       bool flag telling if the vocabulary labels should be translated using the
       current request language.
    :attr:`eidparam`
       bool flag telling if this field is linked to a specific entity
    :attr:`role`
       when the field is linked to an entity attribute or relation, tells the
       role of the entity in the relation (eg 'subject' or 'object')
    :attr:`fieldset`
       optional fieldset to which this field belongs to
    :attr:`order`
       key used by automatic forms to sort fields
    :attr:`ignore_req_params`
       when true, this field won't consider value potentialy specified using
       request's form parameters (eg you won't be able to specify a value using for
       instance url like http://mywebsite.com/form?field=value)
