excludeFromRandomization?booleanExclude response from randomization. If present, will override the responseOrder randomization setting in the components. Defaults to false.BaseResponse.excludeFromRandomizationparser/types.ts:516
hidden?booleanControls whether the response is hidden.BaseResponse.hiddenparser/types.ts:506
idstringThe id of the response. This is used to identify the response in the data file.BaseResponse.idparser/types.ts:486

location?ConfigResponseBlockLocationControls the response location. These might be the same for all responses, or differ across responses. Defaults to belowStimulusBaseResponse.locationparser/types.ts:498
maxCharLength?numberThe maximum number of characters accepted in the response. Must be greater than 0 when the response is required.-parser/types.ts:760
maxWordLength?numberThe maximum number of whitespace-separated words accepted in the response. Must be greater than 0 when the response is required.-parser/types.ts:764
minCharLength?numberThe minimum number of characters accepted in the response.-parser/types.ts:758

path?stringPath under src/public/ to response code. Custom responses require a default React component. Any response code module may export validate(value, values, response) to return an error message, a boolean validity result, or null for valid input. It may separately export score(value, values, response, expected?) to return a boolean or a score from 0 to 1; null uses ordinary correct-answer matching. expected is the configured correct answer when correctness is checked.BaseResponse.pathparser/types.ts:488
