FieldConfig🔗

The data model used in Grafana, namely the data frame, is a columnar-oriented table structure that unifies both time series and table query results.

Each column within this structure is called a field. A field can represent a single time series or table column.

Field options allow you to change how the data is displayed in your visualizations.

    /**
     * The display value for this field.  This supports template variables blank is auto
     */
    public ?string $displayName;

     * This can be used by data sources that return and explicit naming structure for values and labels
     * When this property is configured, this value is used rather than the default naming strategy.

    public ?string $description;

    /**
     * An explicit path to the field in the datasource.  When the frame meta includes a path,
     * This will default to `${frame.meta.path}/${field.name}
     * 
     * When defined, this value can be used as an identifier within the datasource scope, and
     * may be used to update the results
     */
    public ?string $path;

     * True if data source can write a value to the path. Auth/authz are supported separately

    /**
     * Unit a field should use. The unit you select is applied to all fields except time.
     * You can use the units ID availables in Grafana or a custom unit.
     * Available units in Grafana: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/main/packages/grafana-data/src/valueFormats/categories.ts
     * As custom unit, you can use the following formats:
     * `suffix:<suffix>` for custom unit that should go after value.
     * `prefix:<prefix>` for custom unit that should go before value.
     * `time:<format>` For custom date time formats type for example `time:YYYY-MM-DD`.
     * `si:<base scale><unit characters>` for custom SI units. For example: `si: mF`. This one is a bit more advanced as you can specify both a unit and the source data scale. So if your source data is represented as milli (thousands of) something prefix the unit with that SI scale character.
     * `count:<unit>` for a custom count unit.
     * `currency:<unit>` for custom a currency unit.

Methods🔗

fromArray🔗

Builds this object from an array.

This function is meant to be used with the return value of json_decode($json, true).

static fromArray(array $inputData)

jsonSerialize🔗

Returns the data representing this object, preparing it for JSON serialization with json_encode().
