Text input

model

The model parameter is used to set the text for the input.

Attention!

If you hardcode this value, it will not be reactive and the selection won't change. Use a variable instead and, ideally, a closed loop.

name

The name parameter is used to set the name of the component. This is useful when the component is part of a form.

help-text

The help-text parameter is used to provide additional assistance to the user.

input-type

The input-type parameter is used to set the type of input. Possible values are: text, tel, email and url.

icon

The icon parameter is used to set an icon to the input. The icon will be displayed on the right side of the input.

max-length

The max-length parameter is used to set the maximum number of characters that the user can input. A counter will be displayed below the input.

data-list

The data-list parameter is used to set a list of suggestions for the input. The list must be an array of strings.

Or using the default slot with <option> tags:

Flags

The default text adapts to the localization:

The default text adapts to the localization:

align-right

The align-right parameter aligns the input text to the right:

It can de combined with icon:

Methods

reset()

We can all the reset() method of the WebComponent in order to reset the value. This will clean the internal states and emit the nullable value with the change event, plus a restarted event:

In this example, the button triggers the method:

Value:  undefined

Special uses

We can use the TextInput as a search, where the data-list are the available terms and then listening to the right events to trigger the search action:

Tip

You can selectively pass data-list only if a certain length has been reached in input, or even filtering, slicing, or sorting the data-list dynamically

Combined inputs

We can combine different inputs to achieve more control over the inputs:

@

Tip

This approach allows individual or combinational validation in addition to the more restrictive input options. The validation of one field can be dependant on the other or vice versa, ensuring more robust forms in the frontend side.
