+
+## Overview
+
+The Number Field stores and validates numeric values. It supports min/max validation, array mode (`hasMany`), and browser-level step controls.
+
+```ts
+import type { Field } from 'payload'
+
+export const MyNumberField: Field = {
+ name: 'age',
+ type: 'number',
+}
+```
+
+## Config Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `name` * | Property name in DB |
+| `min` | Minimum accepted value (used in default validation) |
+| `max` | Maximum accepted value (used in default validation) |
+| `hasMany` | Makes field an **ordered array** of numbers instead of a single number |
+| `minRows` | Min array length (requires `hasMany: true`) |
+| `maxRows` | Max array length (requires `hasMany: true`) |
+| `unique` | DB-level unique index on this field's path |
+| `index` | Build DB index for faster queries |
+| `validate` | Custom validation function (runs on both Admin Panel and backend) |
+| `saveToJWT` | Include field value in user JWT (top-level auth collections) |
+| `hooks` | Field lifecycle hooks |
+| `access` | Field-level access control |
+| `hidden` | Hidden from all APIs (still saved to DB) |
+| `defaultValue` | Default value |
+| `localized` | Enable per-locale values (requires localization in base config) |
+| `required` | Field must have a value |
+| `virtual` | `true` = no DB column; or a string path to link with a relationship |
+| `typescriptSchema` | Override TS type generation with JSON schema |
+| `custom` | Extension point for plugins |
+
+## Admin Options
+
+```ts
+admin: {
+ step: 1, // increment/decrement step for browser controls
+ placeholder: '0', // placeholder string
+ autoComplete: 'age', // browser autocomplete hint
+}
+```
+
+## hasMany — Array of Numbers
+
+```ts
+{
+ name: 'scores',
+ type: 'number',
+ hasMany: true,
+ minRows: 1,
+ maxRows: 10,
+}
+```
+
+Stores an ordered array of numbers. Each element is still validated against `min`/`max` if provided.
+
+## Example
+
+```ts
+import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
+
+export const ExampleCollection: CollectionConfig = {
+ slug: 'example-collection',
+ fields: [
+ {
+ name: 'age',
+ type: 'number',
+ required: true,
+ min: 0,
+ max: 150,
+ admin: {
+ step: 1,
+ },
+ },
+ ],
+}
+```
+
+## Custom Components
+
+Import `NumberField` and `FieldLabel` from `@payloadcms/ui`.
+
+**Server Component:**
+```tsx
+import { NumberField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
+import type { NumberFieldServerComponent } from 'payload'
+
+export const CustomNumberFieldServer: NumberFieldServerComponent = ({
+ clientField, path, schemaPath, permissions,
+}) =>
+```
+
+**Client Component:**
+```tsx
+'use client'
+import { NumberField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
+import type { NumberFieldClientComponent } from 'payload'
+
+export const CustomNumberFieldClient: NumberFieldClientComponent = (props) =>
+```
+
+Label components follow the same server/client pattern using `FieldLabel`.
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+- Use `min`/`max` for built-in range validation without writing a custom `validate` function.
+- `hasMany: true` turns the field into an ordered number array — pair with `minRows`/`maxRows` for length constraints.
+- `admin.step` controls the browser spinner increment; useful for integer fields (`step: 1`).
+- `unique` creates a DB-level index — avoid on arrays (`hasMany`) as uniqueness semantics are complex.
+- `virtual: true` skips DB storage entirely; use for computed/derived numeric values.
