Expose Field API widget types.

Return value

An array describing the widget types implemented by the module. The keys are widget type names. To avoid name clashes, widget type names should be prefixed with the name of the module that exposes them. The values are arrays describing the widget type, with the following key/value pairs:

• label: The human-readable name of the widget type.
• description: A short description for the widget type.
• field types: An array of field types the widget supports.
• settings: An array whose keys are the names of the settings available for the widget type, and whose values are the default values for those settings.
• behaviors: (optional) An array describing behaviors of the widget, with the following elements:
  • multiple values: One of the following constants:
    • FIELD_BEHAVIOR_DEFAULT: (default) If the widget allows the input of one single field value (most common case). The widget will be repeated for each value input.
    • FIELD_BEHAVIOR_CUSTOM: If one single copy of the widget can receive several field values. Examples: checkboxes, multiple select, comma-separated textfield.
  • default value: One of the following constants:
    • FIELD_BEHAVIOR_DEFAULT: (default) If the widget accepts default values.
    • FIELD_BEHAVIOR_NONE: if the widget does not support default values.
• weight: (optional) An integer to determine the weight of this widget relative to other widgets in the Field UI when selecting a widget for a given field instance.
