Add custom type to Ng-admin

I want add custom types to Ng-admin. I didn't find complete info or sample to do it. As a sample, I want add next types: embedded object, embedded_list type, parted combo box and others.

My confuse is what syntax and structure of TypeField and TypeFieldView files.

You custom type should extend the Field type at least, or another existing type.

// in path/to/MyCustomDateField.js
// ES6 version
import DateField from 'admin-config/lib/Field/DateField';
export default class MyCustomDateField extends DateField {
    formatSmall() {
        return this.format('small');
    }
}

// ES5 version
var DateField = require('admin-config/lib/Field/DateField');
function MyCustomDateField(name) {
    DateField.call(this, name);
}
MyCustomDateField.prototype = new DateField();
MyCustomDateField.prototype.formatSmall = function() {
    return this.format('small');
}
module.exports = MyCustomDateField;

As a side note, please don't post your question to too many places (e.g. here, in the ng-admin gitter, and in the ng-admin bugtracker). This gives us more work to provide support.
