Skip to main content
The Fields plugin is responsible for rendering the typed field group above (or beside) Markdown content and for resolving .ztype Types via the Type registry. It is one of two core plugins (with Data Views) intended to become an extension platform — other plugins can register custom field editors and contribute Types.

​
v0 scope

  • Read .zorid/types/*.ztype and build the Type registry.
  • Resolve zorid.type in active note frontmatter.
  • Render a labeled field group with Type-aware editors: select, multiselect, date, datetime, string, int, float, boolean.
  • Preserve unknown / ad-hoc fields and show them in a separate “Other fields” section.
  • Write frontmatter updates back to the Markdown file atomically.
  • Surface validation warnings instead of silently deleting invalid values.

​
Public API (for other plugins)

const fields = await ctx.plugins.getApi("zorid.core.fields");

ctx.register.dispose(
  fields.registerEditor({
    type: "my-plugin.color",
    mount(container, value, onChange) {
      /* render a color picker */
      return () => {};
    },
  })
);
