Fields are used to define most UI elements on a block. Examples of fields
include string labels, images, inputs for literal data such as strings and
numbers, and rich editors like date pickers and angle pickers.
Blockly provides several fields by default to handle a variety of user input.
These can be customized through field-specific configuration or with validators,
which tell a field how to handle specific content in a standard editor.
If you need a fully custom field it takes a bit more work and you'll want to
read most of the fields documentation. Start by learning about the parts
that make up a field or the overview of creating custom fields.
