Text input
Examples
Base
<div class="chi-form__item">
<chi-label for="example__base">Label</chi-label>
<chi-text-input id="example__base"></chi-text-input>
</div>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__base">Label</label>
<input type="text" class="chi-input" id="example__base">
</div>
Disabled
Use the disabled
boolean attribute to prevent users from interacting with an input.
Disabled inputs are not submitted with the form and can not receive any browsing events such as mouse clicks or focus.
Note: The required attribute can not be used on inputs with a disabled attribute specified.
<div class="chi-form__item">
<chi-label for="example__disabled">Label</chi-label>
<chi-text-input id="example__disabled" value="Sample Text" disabled></chi-text-input>
</div>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__disabled">Label</label>
<input type="text" class="chi-input" id="example__disabled" value="Sample Text" disabled>
</div>
Readonly
Use the readonly
boolean attribute to prevent users from changing an input value.
Unlike disabled inputs, readonly inputs are submitted with the form and can still receive browsing
events such as mouse clicks and focus.
Note: The required attribute can not be used on inputs with a readonly attribute specified.
<div class="chi-form__item">
<chi-label for="example__readonly">Label</chi-label>
<chi-text-input id="example__readonly" value="Sample Text" readonly></chi-text-input>
</div>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__readonly">Label</label>
<input type="text" class="chi-input" id="example__readonly" value="Sample Text" readonly>
</div>
Placeholder
Use the placeholder
attribute to provide users with an example of the type of data
that can be entered into an input. Note: Placeholder text is not persistent and visually
disappears when a value is entered.
<div class="chi-form__item">
<chi-label for="example__placeholder">Label</chi-label>
<chi-text-input id="example__placeholder" placeholder="Placeholder"></chi-text-input>
</div>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__placeholder">Label</label>
<input type="text" class="chi-input" id="example__placeholder" placeholder="Placeholder">
</div>
Spinner
Use the spinner
attribute to let users know when information is saving or loading.
<div class="chi-form__item">
<chi-label for="example__spinner">Label</chi-label>
<chi-text-input id="example__spinner" spinner></chi-text-input>
</div>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__spinner">Label</label>
<div class="chi-input__wrapper">
<input type="text" class="chi-input" id="example__spinner">
<svg class="chi-spinner -icon--muted" viewBox="0 0 66 66">
<title>Loading</title>
<circle class="path" cx="33" cy="33" r="30" fill="none" stroke-width="6"></circle>
</svg>
</div>
</div>
Required
Use the required
boolean attribute to indicate which inputs must be completed before submitting a form.
This is useful for capturing important information and reducing the risk of form errors.
To render a required input, apply the required
attribute to the input. It is also
encouraged but not mandatory to apply a required
attribute to the corresponding label of the input which
will automatically render a red asterisk. Note: For HTML Blueprint implementations,
the required
attribute is not supported on the label. Please use the alternate method
specified below for rendering a red asterisk within the label.
<div class="chi-form__item">
<chi-label for="example__required" required>Label</chi-label>
<chi-text-input id="example__required" required></chi-text-input>
</div>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__required">
Label
<abbr class="chi-label__required" title="Required field">*</abbr>
</label>
<input type="text" class="chi-input" id="example__required" required>
</div>
Optional
When the vast majority of inputs in a form are required, optional
can be used to help
emphasize the few that are not. This is useful for inputs that are not relevant to all users, such as an
Address Line 2 text input in a Billing or Shipping address form. If the user does not have an apartment,
suite, or unit number, applying optional
to chi-label
will help convey the labels
corresponding input is not required and can be skipped. Note: For HTML Blueprint implementations,
the optional
boolean attribute is not supported on the label. Please use the alternate method
specified below for rendering optional text within the label.
<div class="chi-form__item">
<chi-label for="example__optional" optional>Label</chi-label>
<chi-text-input id="example__optional"></chi-text-input>
</div>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__optional">
Label
<abbr class="chi-label__optional" title="Optional field">(optional)</abbr>
</label>
<input type="text" class="chi-input" id="example__optional">
</div>
Help
Use chi-label__help
to include a help icon that displays helpful information about an input in a popover.
A help icon must be contained within an icon button to ensure it receives focus when a user tabs through a form.
<div class="chi-form__item">
<div class="chi-label__wrapper">
<chi-label for="example__label-with-icon">Label</chi-label>
<div class="chi-label__help">
<chi-button id="example__help-button" type="icon" size="xs" variant="flat" alternative-text="Help">
<chi-icon icon="circle-info-outline"></chi-icon>
</chi-button>
<chi-popover id="example__help-popover" position="top" variant="text" arrow reference="#example__help-button">
Helpful information goes here.
</chi-popover>
</div>
</div>
<chi-text-input id="example__label-with-icon"></chi-text-input>
</div>
<script>
document.querySelector("#example__help-button")
.addEventListener("click", function() {
var popoverElem = document.querySelector("#example__help-popover");
popoverElem.toggle();
});
</script>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<div class="chi-label__wrapper">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__label-with-icon">Label</label>
<div class="chi-label__help">
<div class="chi-button -icon -flat -xs" id="example__help-button" data-target="#example__help-popover" aria-label="Help">
<div class="chi-button__content">
<i class="chi-icon icon-circle-info-outline" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</div>
</div>
<section class="chi-popover chi-popover--top" id="example__help-popover" aria-modal="true" role="dialog">
<div class="chi-popover__content">
<p class="chi-popover__text">Helpful information goes here.</p>
</div>
</section>
</div>
</div>
<input class="chi-input" id="example__label-with-icon" type="text">
</div>
<script>chi.popover(document.getElementById('example__help-button'));</script>
Message
Add a message below an input to store descriptions, validation feedback, and other helpful information.
<div class="chi-form__item">
<chi-label for="example__message">Label</chi-label>
<chi-text-input id="example__message"></chi-text-input>
<div class="chi-label -status">Optional input message</div>
</div>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__message">Label</label>
<input class="chi-input" id="example__message" type="text">
<div class="chi-label -status">Optional input message</div>
</div>
Error
Use the danger
state to provide feedback to users when input data fails to validate.
To meet accessibility requirements, danger inputs must include an error message explaining the
failure and/or how to correct it.
<div class="chi-form__item">
<chi-label for="example__danger">Name</chi-label>
<chi-text-input id="example__danger" state="danger"></chi-text-input>
<div class="chi-label -status -danger">
<chi-icon icon="circle-warning"></chi-icon>
Please enter a name.
</div>
</div>
<div class="chi-form__item">
<label class="chi-label" for="example__portal-danger">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="chi-input -danger" id="example__portal-danger">
<div class="chi-label -status -danger">
<i class="chi-icon icon-circle-warning" aria-hidden="true"></i>
