Invalid shape of predefined choices
As a general rule, the list of possible choices for array types must only contain values of valid item types for the array.
{ type: 'array', name: 'colors' of: [ { type: 'object', name: 'webColor', fields: [ {name: 'name', type: 'string'}, {name: 'hex', type: 'string'} ] }, { type: 'object', name: 'rgbaColor', fields: [ {name: 'name', type: 'string'}, {name: 'r', type: 'number'}, {name: 'g', type: 'number'}, {name: 'b', type: 'number'}, {name: 'a', type: 'number'}, ] }, ], options: { list: [ // valid {_type: 'webColor', hex: '438D80', name: 'Sea Turtle Green'}, // valid {_type: 'rgbaColor', r: 161, g: 201, b: 53, name: 'Salad Green'}, // invalid (as of v3), object values can not be given a title {title: 'Sea Turtle Green', value: {_type: 'webColor', hex: 'C88141', name: 'Tiger Orange'}}, // invalid, missing _type {hex: '438D80', name: 'Sea Turtle Green'}, // invalid: hslaColor objects not valid for array {_type: 'hslaColor' h: 0.02, s: 0.93, l: 0.71, name: 'Salmon'}, ] } }A notable exception here is choices for primitive values, which can be given a display title by providing an object with title and value, where value is of a valid item type:
{ type: 'array', name: 'numbersAndAnimals' of: [{type: 'string'}, {type: 'number'}], options: { list: [ // valid: this array can contain strings 'sheep', // valid: this array can contain numbers 44, // valid: array can contain strings and primitive values can be given a display-title {title: 'Cat', value: 'cat'}, // valid: array can contain numbers and primitive values can be given a display-title {title: 'Hundred', value: 100} // invalid: array can't contain booleans true, ] } }Was this page helpful?
