Email field

The email field component captures email address input. Use it to collect email information in forms, customer profiles, or contact workflows.

The email field component doesn't perform automatic email validation. Implement your own validation logic, and use the error property to display validation results.


Configure the following properties on the EmailField component.

Anchor to details
details
string

The additional text to provide context or guidance for the field. This text is displayed along with the field and its label to offer more information or instructions to the user. This will also be exposed to screen reader users.

Anchor to disabled
disabled
boolean
Default: false

Whether the field is disabled, preventing user interaction. Use when the field is temporarily unavailable due to application state, permissions, or dependencies.

Anchor to error
error
string

An error message to indicate a problem to the user. The field will be given specific stylistic treatment to communicate issues that must be resolved immediately.

string

A unique identifier for the element used for targeting with CSS, JavaScript, or accessibility features.

Anchor to label
label
string

The content to use as the field label that describes the email information being requested.

Anchor to maxLength
maxLength
number
Default: Infinity

The maximum number of characters allowed in the text field.

Anchor to placeholder
placeholder
string

A short hint that provides guidance about the expected value of the field.

Anchor to required
required
boolean
Default: false

Whether the field needs a value. This requirement adds semantic value to the field but doesn't cause an error to appear automatically. Use the error property to present validation errors.

Anchor to value
value
string

The current email address entered in the field. An empty string means no email is entered.

The email field component supports slots for additional content placement within the field. Learn more about using slots.

Anchor to accessory
accessory
HTMLElement

The additional content to be displayed in the field. Commonly used to display clickable text or action elements. Only button and clickable components with text content only are supported in this slot. Use the slot="accessory" attribute to place elements in this area.

The email field component provides event callbacks for handling user interactions. Learn more about handling events.

(event: <"s-email-field">) => void

Called when the element loses focus.

Anchor to change

(event: <"s-email-field">) => void

Called after editing completes, typically on blur.

Anchor to Add accessory buttonsAdd accessory buttons

Add action buttons to the email field using the accessory slot for quick actions like clearing input or verifying email addresses. This example shows how to use s-button and s-clickable components in the accessory slot, providing inline functionality within the email input context.

Add accessory buttons

<s-email-field
label="Newsletter signup"
placeholder="Enter email address"
value="customer@example.com"
>
<s-button slot="accessory" onClick={() => console.log('Subscribe')}>
Subscribe
</s-button>
</s-email-field>;

Anchor to Handle email input eventsHandle email input events

Subscribe to email input events to respond when merchants enter email addresses. This example demonstrates handling onChange, onInput, onFocus, and onBlur events for real-time email validation, duplicate checking, or autosave functionality.

Handle email input events

<s-email-field
label="Customer email"
placeholder="customer@example.com"
onInput={(event) => console.log('Input:', event.currentTarget.value)}
onChange={(event) => console.log('Change:', event.currentTarget.value)}
onFocus={(event) => console.log('Focus')}
onBlur={(event) => console.log('Blur')}
/>

  • Write descriptive labels: Use specific labels like "Customer Email" or "Receipt Email Address" rather than generic "Email."
  • Provide context in details: Use details for additional context like "Required for digital receipts" or "We'll send order updates to this address."
  • Write actionable error messages: Provide clear validation messages like "Please enter a valid email address" that help users correct their input.

The accessory slot supports only button and clickable components—other component types can't be used in the accessory slot.
