This page describes two ways in which you may define the type of a field in Magnolia. A field definition must contain – at minimum – either a class or a fieldType property, telling Magnolia what type of field it should render.
The definition by class is the old and traditional way, while the definition by fieldType has been implemented in Magnolia with the release of the 5.7 branch.
