# Boolean and numeric input types

Boolean fields render as checkboxes and can be grouped under a caption. Numeric fields come in two types, `integer` and `number`, and can carry a range and a unit.

## Boolean type

Example options with group caption:


```json5
{

    "verboseLog": {

        "title": "Verbose log",

        "type": "boolean",

        "description": "Debug messages will be included in the log.",

        "default": true,

        "groupCaption": "Options",

        "groupDescription": "Various options for this Actor"

    },

    "lightspeed": {

        "title": "Lightspeed",

        "type": "boolean",

        "description": "If checked then actors runs at the

            speed of light.",

        "prefill": true

    }

}
```

Properties:

| Property           | Value                          | Required | Description                                                                                   |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `editor`           | One of - `checkbox` - `hidden` | No       | Visual editor used for the input field.                                                       |
| `groupCaption`     | String                         | No       | If you want to group multiple checkboxes together, add this option to the first of the group. |
| `groupDescription` | String                         | No       | Description displayed as help text displayed of group title.                                  |
| `nullable`         | Boolean                        | No       | Specifies whether null is an allowed value.                                                   |

## Numeric types

There are two numeric types supported in the input schema: `integer` and `number`.

* The `integer` type represents whole numbers.
* The `number` type can represent both integers and floating-point numbers.

Example:


```json
{

    "title": "Memory",

    "type": "integer",

    "description": "Select memory in megabytes",

    "default": 64,

    "maximum": 1024,

    "unit": "MB"

}
```
