Alias: Umbraco.Integer
Returns: Integer
Numeric is an HTML input control for entering numbers. Since it's a standard HTML element the options and behaviour are all controlled by the browser and therefore is beyond the control of Umbraco.
This allows you to set up a minimum value. If you will always need a minimum value of 10 this is where you set it up and whenever you use the datatype the value will always start at 10. It's not possible to change the value to anything lower than 10. Only higher values will be accepted.
This allows you to control by how much value should be allowed to increase/decrease when clicking the up/down arrows. If you try to enter a value that does not match with the step setting then it will not be accepted.
This allows you to set up a maximum value. If you will always need a maximum value of 100 this is where you set it up. It's not possible to change the value to anything higher than 100. Only lower values will be accepted.
By casting the output as an int it's possible for you to do mathematical operations with the value.
You can also render the output by casting it to a string, which means you will not be able to do mathematical operations
See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.
The example below demonstrates how to add values programmatically using a Razor view. However, this is used for illustrative purposes only and is not the recommended method for production environments.
Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:
If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:
