            'title' => 'Light',                                         // field title (can be used in views)
            'type' => \IronShark\Extendable\CustomFieldType::Radio,     // field type
            'options' => [                                              // possible values/labels
                0 => 'Off',

            ],
            'default' => 1                                              // default value

];

$article = new Article();
