Note, you might as well also add 'type': 'string' to your dictionary, and
maybe 'length': 20. You can also give yourself some flexibility by creating
a function:
def phone_field(name, **kwargs):
defaults = {'type': 'string',
'length': 20,
'requires': IS_EMPTY_OR(IS_PHONE()),
'widget': lambda fld,val: SQLFORM.widgets.string.widget(
fld, val, _type='tel', _class='form-control')}
defaults.update(**kwargs)
return Field(name, **defaults)
