QueryBuilder controlElements prop

Refer to the TypeScript reference page for information about the types and interfaces referenced below.

The controlElements prop allows you to override default components with custom implementations.

Usage example

function App() {
  return (
    <QueryBuilder controlElements={{ valueEditor: CustomValueEditor }}>
  )
}

Properties

The following control overrides are supported via the Controls interface. Setting any control to null hides the element by rendering it as () => null.
