270-289: Add Phone to the table of contents.

The new Phone field type is documented below but is missing from this list of available field types. It should be added between "Password" and "Radio List" to maintain alphabetical order.

616-642: Consider adding server-side validation guidance.

For consistency with the Email and URL field documentation, consider adding a brief section on server-side validation. This would help users understand how to validate phone numbers on the model.

📖 Example validation section

Add after line 642:

#### Server-side validation

To validate this field on save, define a validation rule in your model:

```php
public $rules = [
    'telephone' => 'nullable|regex:/^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$/',
];

Tip: Use nullable if the field is not required but must still match the pattern when provided.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Pattern and placeholder mismatch.

The pattern attribute specifies [0-9]{3}[0-9]{3}[0-9]{4} (10 consecutive digits), but the placeholder shows xxx-xxx-xxxx (with hyphens). This mismatch may confuse users, as input with hyphens would fail validation against the pattern.

🔧 Suggested fix options

Option 1: Adjust the pattern to accept hyphens:

-    pattern: "[0-9]{3}[0-9]{3}[0-9]{4}"
+    pattern: "[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}"

Option 2: Update the placeholder to match the pattern (no hyphens):

-    placeholder: xxx-xxx-xxxx
+    placeholder: xxxxxxxxxx
