This is an idea that was cut from the first version of writable canned queries:

I really want the option to use a <textarea> for a specific value.

Idea: metadata syntax like this:

json { "databases": { "my-database": { "queries": { "add_twitter_handle": { "sql": "insert into twitter_handles (username) values (:username)", "write": true, "params": { "username": { "widget": "textarea" } } } } } } }

I can ship with some default widgets and provide a plugin hook for registering extra widgets.

This opens up some really exciting possibilities for things like map widgets that let you draw polygons.
