How to create new field which uses FieldtypeTextarea as type and InputfieldTinyMCE as inputfield

[Gayan Virajith]

Hello community,
 
I am trying to create a field using API. Basically field should have a type of FieldtypeTextarea  and InputfieldTinyMCE as inputfield.
 
Here is my code :

/* Create new field using API */
$field = new Field();
// Set type as FieldtypeTextarea
$field->type = $this->modules->get("FieldtypeTextarea");
// Set inputfield as InputfieldTinyMCE. But no luck
$field->set('inputfield', 'InputfieldTinyMCE');
// Name of the field
$field->name = 'footer_region';
// Set label
$field->label = 'Footer region area';
// Save
$field->save();

Above code will create a new field with the type of FieldtypeTextarea. But it want assign InputfieldTinyMCE as the inputfield. 

Any advise please 

Thank you

What you're looking for is: inputfieldClass

The easiest way to figure these things out is often to use your browser dev tools. I actually didn't know this initially, but a quick right-click > Inspect Element on the select field under Inputfield Type, revealed the name of the select as: inputfieldClass

Hi Adrian, 

Thank you so much. Yes that is it. 

Here is the working piece : 

/* Create new field using API */
$field = new Field();
// Set type as FieldtypeTextarea
$field->type = $this->modules->get("FieldtypeTextarea");
// Set inputfield as InputfieldTinyMCE.  Thanks to Adrian
$field->set('inputfieldClass',  "InputfieldTinyMCE");
// name of the field
$field->name = 'footer_region';
// set label
$field->label = 'Footer region area';
        
// Save !
$field->save();

Thanks again Adrian & the community
