To add a Number Field, set the `type` to `number` in your [Field Config](./overview):
```ts
import type { Field } from 'payload/types'
export const MyNumberField: Field = {
// ...
type: 'number', // highlight-line
}
```

```ts
import type { Field } from 'payload/types'
export const MyNumberField: Field = {
// ...
admin: { // highlight-line
// ...
},
}
```
The Number Field inherits all of the default options from the base [Field Admin Config](../admin/fields#admin-options), plus the following additional options:

| **`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. |
