HTML5 field classes for Silverstripe

This module provides a set of bare bones HTML5 inputs with no Javascript or CSS.

You can use these fields in your projects as-is or extend them to provide additional features or shims.

The supported inputs are listed at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input:

• colour (color)
• date, datetime-local, time
• email (extends core Silverstripe EmailField)
• month, week
• number
• range
• search
• tel
• url

Browser support for these fields is varying although nearly all modern browsers will support these fields to a decent extent.

Date, datetime and time fields are particularly difficult to support, due to locale differences and even different user expectations within those locales.

Traits

Various field types support certain traits that allow setting/getting of common attributes

• Step - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#step
• DataList - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/datalist
• Spellcheck - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/spellcheck

• Pattern - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#pattern
• Multiple - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#multiple

Datalist

Certain inputs support a <datalist>, e.g the colour field to restrict initial selection.

This works somewhat like a <select> element, except that browser implementation and support varies.
