        'bootstrap-datepicker' => ['FieldTypes\View\Widget\BootstrapDatepickerWidget', '_view'],
        'bootstrap-datetimepicker' => ['FieldTypes\View\Widget\BootstrapDatetimepickerWidget', '_view'],

        'bootstrap-colorpicker' => ['FieldTypes\View\Widget\BootstrapColorpickerWidget', '_view'],

        //Number
        'bootstrap-touchspin' => ['FieldTypes\View\Widget\BootstrapTouchspinWidget', '_view'],

        //Boolean
        'bootstrap-switch' => ['FieldTypes\View\Widget\BootstrapSwitchWidget', '_view'],

        //Content
        'summernote' => ['FieldTypes\View\Widget\SummernoteWidget', '_view'],
        'wysiwygjs' => ['FieldTypes\View\Widget\WysiwygjsWidget', '_view'],

        //Select

    ]
]);

$this->Form->input('some_field', ['type' => 'summernote']);

public function postType() {
    return [
        'formFields' => [
            'some_field' => [
                'type' => 'summernote',
            ],
        ]
    ];
};
