Textfield
![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/dt/@asphalt-react/textfield?style=flat-square)
Textfield is an input field that enables users to type in data. It accepts data in various formats like text, numeric and password.Textfield is configurable to accept short or long form entries. You can configure its width and also attach SVG icons, words and React nodes to the input field.
The architecture of the Textfield family is flexible, so you can compose complex input fields as required.
Usage
import {
Textfield,
Email,
Search
} from "@asphalt-react/textfield"
<>
<Textfield/>
<Email/>
<Search/>
</>
Components
Textfield suite offers following components specific to the nature of the input -
- Textfield
- Email
- Password
- URL
- Numeric
- Search
- Datefield
- Timefield
- Pinfield
Qualifiers
Qualifiers provide a hint about the expected content of the field. They can be SVG icons or words. You can attach the qualifier using qualifierStart
& qualifierEnd
. Qualifiers works great for use-cases like attaching currency ISO codes or symbols to the Textfield.
Addons
Along with qualifiers, Textfields also accept React nodes (a.k.a addon) to attach them beside qualifiers. You can use addons to compose components like for a phone number field with country code selector as an addon. You can add the React nodes on either ends of the field input simultaneously.
By default addons are rendered on the extreme ends of the field. Adjacent to the addons qualifiers are rendered and they are attached to the ends of the input field. The order of these entities from start to end is addOnStart
, qualifierStart
, input field in the middle, qualifierEnd
& addOnEnd
. You can swap the positions of Qualifiers and AddOns such that qualifiers appear on the extreme ends while addOns take the middle slots.
Multiline
Apply multiline
prop to accept multiple rows of text. Only Textfield
supports multiline. Qualifiers
don't work in multiline fields.
Building blocks
You can compose complex input fields with the help of the following building blocks that are part of the Textfield family.
Unit Components
The Textfield family comes with:
- InputWrapper
- InputQualifier
- InputAddOn
- Input
Hooks
Use the useInput()
hook to get all the prop getter functions and then spread them in the right children components. Pass all the props in the useInput()
hook as parameter.
import {
useInput,
InputWrapper,
InputQualifier,
InputAddOn,
Input
} from "@asphalt-react/textfield"
const { getInputProps, getWrapperProps, getQualifierProps } = useInput(props)
<InputWrapper {...getWrapperProps()}>
<InputQualifier {...getQualifierProps()}>
<IconPlaceHolder />
</InputQualifier>
<Input {...getInputProps()} />
<InputAddOn>
<Button icon>
<Add />
</Button>
</InputAddOn>
</InputWrapper>
Form validation & Attributes
- All textfields support HTML form validations.
- All textfields supports
data-/*
attributes & DOM attributes
Accessing through React ref
To get access to the underlying DOM element, pass a React ref in the ref
prop.
Accessibility
- All Textfields are focusable.
- By default Numeric render input element with
inputmode="numeric"
. - Textfields have
aria-invalid
attribute for components with invalid
prop set to true. - All Textfields accept the aria-* attributes input role.

useInput
React hook which returns prop getter functions. Use these functions to generate prop objects for different building blocks.
Arguments
useInput accepts the following props:
- size
- invalid
- disabled
- stretch
- qualifierStart
- qualifierEnd
- addOnStart
- addOnEnd
- swapSlots
Getter functions
getWrapperProps()
Use this function to create props for InputWrapper component.
const { getWrapperProps } = useInput({ size: "m", invalid: false, disabled: false, stretch: true });
<InputWrapper {...getWrapperProps()}>
/* contents of InputWrapper */
</InputWrapper>
getInputProps()
Use this function to create props for Input component.
const { getInputProps } = useInput({ size: "m", invalid: false, disabled: false, stretch: true });
<InputWrapper>
<Input
{...getInputProps()}
/>
/* rest of the contents */
</InputWrapper>
getQualifierProps()
Use this function to create props for InputQualifier component.
const { getQualifierProps } = useInput({ size: "m" });
<InputWrapper>
<InputQualifier
{...getQualifierProps()}
/>
/* rest of the contents */
</InputWrapper>
getStartSlots()
Use this function to handle qualifiers and addOns attached to the start of the field. This function comes in handy when you create a new input field using the unit components like InputWrapper
and Input
as it handles the order of the elements attached. getStartSlots()
accepts two arguments:
- qualifierProps: a props object to pass on to the qualifier
- addOnProps: a props object to pass on to the addOn
const { getStartSlots } = useInput({
qualifierStart: <IconPlaceholder />,
addOnStart: <Button>action</Button>,
swapSlots: false,
});
<InputWrapper>
<>{getStartSlots({ qualifierProps: { ariaLabel: "qualifier" } })}</>
<Input />
</InputWrapper>
getEndSlots()
Use this function to handle qualifiers and addOns attached to the end of the field. This function comes in handy when you create a new input field using the unit components like InputWrapper
and Input
as it handles the order of the elements attached. getEndSlots()
accepts two arguments:
- qualifierProps: a props object to pass on to the qualifier
- addOnProps: a props object to pass on to the addOn
const { getEndSlots } = useInput({
qualifierStart: <IconPlaceholder />,
addOnStart: <Button>action</Button>,
swapSlots: true,
});
<InputWrapper>
<Input />
<>{getEndSlots({ qualifierProps: { ariaLabel: "qualifier" } })}</>
</InputWrapper>
The above code snipped will render the button (addOn) followed by the icon (qualifier) as swapSlots
is true.
