    How to use it

    Default

    An Input comes with a label indicating what goes into the field.

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Disabled

    A disabled Input prevents user interaction. It doesn’t appear in the tab order, can’t receive focus, and may not read aloud by a screenreader.

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Faux input

    Provide input styling without native input backing.

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Focus inset

    Set focus styling inside the element using the focusInset prop. (Useful when an Input is flush with another component.)

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Hidden label

    Input labels can be hidden.

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Hint text

    To provide additional context, use hint text with the label.

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Media input

    Media elements add even more context to an input.

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Placeholder

    Placeholder text provides the user with example content or additional context. Use an icon to provide a visual affordance when the label is hidden (for example, search).

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Read-only

    A read-only Input prevents user modification but allows selection.

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Size

    An Input can be default or compact.

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code

    Validation

    Show success, warning, and danger validation messages with the Message component.

    Toggle dark mode
    Set primary hue
    Toggle RTL
    Open in CodeSandbox
    Copy code
    View code
