| **`unique`** | Enforce that each entry in the Collection has a unique value for this field. |
| **`index`** | Build a [MongoDB index](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/indexes/) for this field to produce faster queries. Set this field to `true` if your users will perform queries on this field's data often. |

### Admin config
In addition to the default [field admin config](/docs/fields/overview#admin-config), this field type allows for the following `admin` properties:
**`step`**
Set a value for the number field to increment / decrement using browser controls.
**`placeholder`**
Set this property to define a placeholder string for the field.
**`autoComplete`**
Set this property to a string that will be used for browser autocomplete.
### Example

```js
{
slug: 'example-collection',
fields: [
{
name: 'age', // required
type: 'number', // required
label: 'Age',
required: true,
admin: {
step: 1,
}
}
]
}
