Input

The input component allows users to enter and edit text.

The Input component is a versatile UI element used to capture user input, such as text or numbers. It offers various customization options and states to ensure a seamless user experience in your applications.

Anatomy

The anatomy of an input component includes the input field itself, a container to frame the input, and optional elements like labels and icons that assist in user interaction and information conveyance.

Properties

Input components typically have properties like type (e.g., text fields, checkboxes), labels, placeholders, value, read-only and disabled states, required fields, validation rules, and events. These components offer a means to capture user data, provide feedback, and ensure accessibility and security while enhancing the overall user experience.

Status	States	Size	Disabled

	Fill-hover
	Press

Status

• Default input component is the standard, regular input field for user data entry.

• Error input is an input field that indicates an error, often with a highlighted border or error message, when user input is incorrect or doesn't meet validation criteria.

React

import React from 'react';
import { PlusInput } from '@plusui/react';

const InputWithStatuses = () => (
  <>
    <PlusInput
      size="md"
      label="Label"
      caption="There will be a caption text here"
      placeholder="Placeholder"
      required
    >
      <i slot="prefix" className="fa-solid fa-plus"></i>
      <i slot="suffix" className="fa-solid fa-plus"></i>
    </PlusInput>

    <PlusInput
      error
      size="md"
      label="Label"
      caption="There will be a caption text here"
      placeholder="Placeholder"
      required
    >
      <i slot="prefix" className="fa-solid fa-plus"></i>
      <i slot="suffix" className="fa-solid fa-plus"></i>
    </PlusInput>
  </>
);

export default InputWithStatuses;

States

• Default input state is component in its initial state, ready for user interaction.

• Hover input is the appearance of an input component when a user hovers their mouse cursor over it, which can include visual changes like a highlighted background.

• Fill input is component with content or data already filled in, which users can edit or modify as needed.

• Fill-Hover input is a combination of the "Fill Input" and "Hover Input" states, indicating the appearance when the cursor hovers over a filled input.

• Press input is how an input component looks when a user clicks or presses on it, often indicating that it's currently being interacted with.

React

import React from 'react';
import { PlusInput } from '@plusui/react';

const DefaultAndValueInput = () => (
  <>
    <PlusInput size="md" label="Default Input" placeholder="Type here..." />  {/* Default input */}

    <PlusInput
      size="md"
      label="Input with Value"
      placeholder="Type here..."
      value="Predefined Value"  {/* Input with a predefined value */}
    />
  </>
);

export default DefaultAndValueInput;

Size

• Small input is a smaller-sized input component, typically used for compact forms or in specific design contexts.

• Medium input is a standard-sized input component, suitable for most data entry scenarios.

• Large input is a larger-sized input field, often used when more space is needed for user input or for a prominent display.

React

import React from 'react';
import { PlusInput } from '@plusui/react';

const InputWithSizes = () => (
  <>
    <PlusInput size="sm" label="Small Input" placeholder="Type here..." />  {/* Small size */}

    <PlusInput size="md" label="Medium Input" placeholder="Type here..." />  {/* Medium size */}

    <PlusInput size="lg" label="Large Input" placeholder="Type here..." />  {/* Large size */}
  </>
);

export default InputWithSizes;

Disabled

Disabled input is an input component that cannot be interacted with by the user, often used when certain conditions or permissions prevent input.

React

import React from 'react';
import { PlusInput } from '@plusui/react';

const InputWithDefaultAndDisabled = () => (
  <>
    <PlusInput size="md" label="Default Input" placeholder="Type here..." />  {/* Default state */}

    <PlusInput
      size="md"
      label="Disabled Input"
      placeholder="Can't type here..."
      disabled  {/* Disabled state */}
    />
  </>
);
