Text field

The text field component captures single-line text input. Use it to collect short, free-form information like names, titles, or identifiers.

The component supports various input configurations including placeholders, character limits, and validation. For multi-line text entry, use text area. For specialized input types, use email field, URL field, password field, or search field.

Default: 'on' for everything else

A hint as to the intended content of the field.

When set to on (the default), this property indicates that the field should support autofill, but you do not have any more semantic information on the intended contents.

Alternatively, you can provide value which describes the specific data you would like to be entered into this field during autofill.

Anchor to best-practicesBest Practices

  • Clearly label text fields so that it’s obvious what customers should enter.
  • Label text fields as optional when input isn’t required. For example, use the label First name (optional).
  • Don’t have optional fields pass true to the required property.
