Description

It would be nice to have the ability to control input fields a bit, kind of like secure for password fields, but more general, for these types (sort of like html5 field types).

  • arbitrary strings (default)
  • password (the current secure inside style)
  • email (brings up the email keyboard)
  • integer (brings up the numeric keyboard)

perhaps one day down the road you could have touch id and other kinds.

not a high priority, since there is a decent alternative. just a nice to have.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a 'type' attribute to text fields (like password, email, integer) similar to HTML5 input types. Currently, the framework supports a 'secure' property for password fields. To implement, you need to modify the native iOS text field component (likely in Swift/Objective C) to accept a 'type' parameter and render appropriate keyboards and input behavior. Also update the JavaScript template parser to handle the new attribute. Check the existing implementation of 'secure' in the codebase (e.g., in the view rendering logic). The issue is old and has no recent comments, so start by exploring the repository's current version to see if similar functionality has been added or if the framework architecture has changed.
