Finding info on specifics

[zota]

Hi!
 

Suppose you were intrigued by this line:
 

$field->attr('type','password');

 Question is: how do you find more info on, fort instance, the $field->attr(); thing? or, in general, how do you find those specifics that don't show up on processwire's search box, neither on the Soma's cheatsheet...

Thanks,

Julio

Not necessarily the answer you are looking for, but searching on Github is often very enlightening:

Oh! I'm doomed!

Ok, I'll try github search.

Thanks

I'd also suggest taking a look at this topic: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/2089-create-simple-forms-using-api/ It's essentially a community driven "what you need to know about the forms api". I wouldn't call it documentation, but you can learn a lot from the examples.

Also attr() is essentially meant for those html attributes, which are not input specific, which type is.

E.g. method attr()

fwiw, I often use Google search like this:

$field->attr site:.processwire.com i.e. https://www.google.ch/search?q=%24field-%3Eattr+site%3A.processwire.com&oq=%24field-%3Eattr+site%3A.processwire.com
