A Descriptive Text survey element displays a long piece of text. You can use this element to add introductions, disclaimers, or other explanatory texts to your survey. This demo shows how to implement a custom Descriptive Text question type for Survey Creator in Angular and React applications.

A Descriptive Text question type contains the following two custom properties. All other properties are inherited from the Question class.

  • caption: String
    A message displayed by the question type.

  • textSize: "small" | "medium" | "large"
    The size of the text. Text sizes correspond to HTML heading levels as follows:

    Text size Heading
    "large" <h2>
    "medium" <h3>
    "small" <h4>

This demo uses comments in code to guide you through the implementation. If you need more detailed explanations, please refer to help topics about third-party component integration listed below. They cover the same steps because the integration process is very similar to the process of custom question type implementation.
