- `icon` - Heroicon name for rendering
- `requires_options` - Whether the field type requires options to be defined
- `default_props` - Default properties for new fields of this type

# `t`

```elixir
@type t() :: %PhoenixKitEntities.FieldType{
  category: :basic | :numeric | :boolean | :datetime | :choice | :advanced,
  default_props: map(),
  description: String.t() | nil,
  icon: String.t() | nil,
  label: String.t(),
  name: String.t(),
  requires_options: boolean()
}
```

# `from_map`

```elixir
@spec from_map(map()) :: t()
```
