# Input (text/number)

An input editor is the most common editor, it could be any of these (text, integer, float, password)

## Regular Text or Number Editor

For editing regular text, you can use `Editors.text` and for numbers then you can use `Editors.integer` or `Editors.float`

```ts
this.columns = [
  {
    id: 'firstName', name: 'First Name', field: 'firstName',
    editor: { model: Editors.text },
  },
  {
    id: 'lastName', name: 'Last Name', field: 'lastName',
    editor: { model: Editors.text },
  },
  {
    id: 'age', name: 'Age', field: 'age',
    editor: { model: Editors.integer },
  },
];
```

## Demo with Float Editor and Dollar Currency Formatter

This is probably a common use case to have an editor for editing currency, below is an exampe of dollar currency format and editiing with 2 decimal places (using any other currency would work too).

```ts
this.columns = [
  {
    id: 'cost', name: 'Cost', field: 'cost',
    type: 'float',
    formatter: Formatters.dollar, // the Dollar Formatter will default to 2 decimals unless you provide a minDecimal/maxDecimal
    // params: { minDecimal: 2, maxDecimal: 4, }, // optionally provide different decimal places

    // the float editor has its own settings, `decimal` that will be used only in the editor
    // note: that it has nothing to do with the Dollar Formatter
    editor: { model: Editors.float, decimal: 2 },
  },
];
```
