Text input
Text input allows user to enter a single line of text. Set type to handle passwords, emails, dates, URLs, phone numbers, or integers.
Example
Always pair an input with a form field label so the input is named for everyone, including screen reader users.
Usage
Disabled
Input should be disabled, when input shouldn't be allowed to be interacted with.
Read only
Compared to a disabled input, read only input is usually used for values that user might want to copy to clipboard.
Invalid
Invalid input indicates that value isn't what the system expects.
Warning
A warning border indicates that the input is discouraged, but not disallowed.
Other types
TextInput accepts a type prop, which accepts the same values as type attribute of an input tag.
Integer Input
type="integer" will render an integer input, which is under TextInput and not NumberInput as it expects a string value in order to handle bigints.
It only permits numerals and a leading hyphen (for negative values) in the value.
Size
The size prop impacts font-size and height. Default is set to md.
To set the width, use the width prop instead.
Guidelines
When to use
- When user input is a single line of free-form text.
When not to use
- If input can span multiple lines, use a textarea instead.
- If entering a number, use a number input instead. For integers that can exceed JavaScript's safe number range, use
type="integer", which stores the value as a string.
Content
- Use sentence case for placeholder text.
- End placeholder text with three dots.
