# Field Create, Edit, Parameters, Rules and Actions

$$
Field = Component
$$

Both Fields and Components behave the exact same way. The difference between the two is that a component is used more often to pull data or doing something that does not involve inputting data into a form. For example building a chart, connecting to an API, building a results list from another bloc, etc.\
\
For this documentation we will use the term field.

### What is a field?

A field is the core element that is used inside the bloc for either inputting or outputting data. Our range of fields is wide and ever growing. Fields are more than just means of inputting text like a regular form builder. They can often be fully functioning mini-modules that are used to carry out tasks in your Bloc.
