Form Components

Field

Field wires a control to its label, help text and error message. It owns the id, points the label at the control, and links both messages with aria-describedby.

Basic usage

Field wires a control to its label, help text and error message. It generates one id, points the label at the control with htmlFor, and links the description and error with aria-describedby. Pass any control as the child.

We will never share it.

react-icon
<Field label="Email" description="We will never share it.">
<Input type="email" placeholder="you@company.com"/>
</Field>

Label on its own associates text with a control, but nothing links help text or an error message to it. That is what Field adds: without it, a screen reader announces that a control is invalid and never says why.

Error state

Passing error renders the message and marks the control invalid, so the danger cue and the message can never disagree. You do not set invalid yourself.

This name is already taken.

At least 12 characters.

Too short.

react-icon
<Col>
<Field label="Display name" error="This name is already taken.">
<Input defaultValue="alex.rivera"/>
</Field>
<Field
label="Password"
description="At least 12 characters."
error="Too short."
>
<Input type="password" defaultValue="short"/>
</Field>
</Col>

When both description and error are present, the control is described by both, in that order.

An invalid control gets a danger border and ring plus aria-invalid="true", and on Input a trailing alert icon, so the state is never signalled by colour alone.

Any control

Every form control reads the Field it sits in: Input, Textarea, Select, Checkbox, Radio and Switch.

Sets your default currency.

Markdown is supported.

react-icon
<Col>
<Field label="Region" description="Sets your default currency.">
<Select>
<option>Cyprus</option>
<option>Estonia</option>
<option>Portugal</option>
</Select>
</Field>
<Field label="Release notes" description="Markdown is supported.">
<Textarea placeholder="What changed?"/>
</Field>
</Col>

Radio groups

A radiogroup is not a labelable element, so Field labels it by reference with aria-labelledby instead of htmlFor, and leaves the individual radios alone.

Change it any time.

react-icon
<Field label="Billing period" description="Change it any time.">
<RadioGroup name="billing" defaultValue="yearly">
<Label row itemsCenter><Radio value="monthly"/> Monthly</Label>
<Label row itemsCenter><Radio value="yearly"/> Yearly</Label>
</RadioGroup>
</Field>

Sizes

Field's size becomes the control's default, so you set it once. An explicit size on the control still wins.

react-icon
<Col>
<Field xs label="Extra small">
<Input placeholder="xs"/>
</Field>
<Field sm label="Small">
<Input placeholder="sm"/>
</Field>
<Field label="Medium (default)">
<Input placeholder="md"/>
</Field>
<Field lg label="Large">
<Input placeholder="lg"/>
</Field>
<Field xl label="Extra large">
<Input placeholder="xl"/>
</Field>
</Col>

Bringing your own id

If the control already carries an id, Field adopts it rather than generating one, so the label still points at the right element. Useful with form libraries that own the id.

Case sensitive.

react-icon
<Field label="Coupon code" description="Case sensitive.">
<Input id="coupon" defaultValue="LAUNCH25"/>
</Field>
