Text

The text field allows content writers to provide plain text.

Add a text field to a content model

• Open Slice Machine

  In your Prismic project, start Slice Machine to begin editing content models.

  npx start-slicemachine --open

• Add a text field

  In Slice Machine, navigate to the slice, page type, or custom type you want to modify. Add a text field.

  The label determines the label shown to content writers in the Page Builder. Use an easily understood name.

  The API ID determines the property name in the Document API. Use a short, snake-cased name.

Use text fields

Text fields can be used like a string in JavaScript.

<p>My name: {slice.primary.name}</p>

Tips

• Use isFilled.text() to check if a text field has a value

  import { isFilled } from "@prismicio/client";
  
  if (isFilled.text(slice.primary.my_text_field)) {
    // Do something if `my_text_field` has a value.
  }

API response

Here is what a text field looks like from the Document API:

{
  "example_text": "Lorem ipsum"
}
