Number and Range Fields

{
  "min"  : 1,
  "max"  : 10,
  "step" : 0.25
}

Public counters

A number field can be opened to anonymous increments — likes, “was this helpful”, download counts — without opening anything else on the object:

{
  "likes": {
    "type"     : "number",
    "field"    : "number",
    "default"  : 0,
    "settings" : { "publicIncrement" : true }
  }
}

Give the property "type": "integer" instead when only whole numbers make sense — a count, a sort order, a page size. The number field renders the same either way; the difference is validation, where integer rejects 2.5, and the schema page, which shows the same number icon for both.

With publicIncrement set, unauthenticated callers may POST to the field’s /increment and /decrement routes; every other write still needs authentication or the collection’s publicOperations. Anonymous counter writes are limited to 60 per minute per IP. Treat the number as a soft signal, not a vote: anyone can call it. The HTMX Recipes page shows the one-line like button.
