Package Exports

@lion/input
@lion/input/lion-input
@lion/input/lion-input.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@lion/input) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Features

Based on field
Extra visual elements can be added via slots
- label: can also be provided via the label attribute, but the slot can be used to change the html and CSS of the label. For example add an u-sr-only class to the label to make it visually hidden. A label is always needed for accessibility reasons.
- help-text: a helper text shown below the label to give extra clarification.
- prefix: does not have an active use case yet, but the option is in place.
- suffix: can be used for addons to the input like a calculator, datepicker or addressbook. In these cases a button with an icon is used.
- before: does not have an active use case yet, but the option is in place.
- after: can be used to show a currency or percentage.

How to use

Installation

npm i --save @lion/input

import '@lion/input/lion-input.js';

Examples

Label

Can be provided via the label attribute, but the slot can be used to change the html and CSS of the label. For example add an u-sr-only class to the label to make it (partially) visually hidden. A label is always needed for accessibility reasons.

export const label = () => html`
  <style>
    .u-sr-only {
      position: absolute;
      top: 0;
      width: 1px;
      height: 1px;
      overflow: hidden;
      clip-path: inset(100%);
      clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);
      white-space: nowrap;
      border: 0;
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
    }
  </style>
  <lion-input>
    <label slot="label"
      >Label <span class="u-sr-only">partially only visible for screen-readers</span></label
    >
  </lion-input>
`;

Help-text

A helper text shown below the label to give extra clarification.

Just like the label, a help-text can be provided via the help-text attribute, a slot can be used to change the html and CSS of the help-text. For example add an anchor with further explanation.

export const helpText = () => html`
  <lion-input>
    <label slot="label">Label</label>
    <div slot="help-text">
      Help text using <a href="https://example.com/" target="_blank">html</a>
    </div>
  </lion-input>
`;

Prefilled

export const prefilled = () => html`
  <lion-input .modelValue=${'Prefilled value'} label="Prefilled"></lion-input>
`;

Read only

readonly attribute will be delegated to the native <input> to make it read-only.

This field will still be included in the parent fieldset or form's serializedValue.

export const readOnly = () => html`
  <lion-input readonly .modelValue=${'This is read only'} label="Read only"></lion-input>
`;

Disabled

disabled attribute will be delegated to the native <input> to make it disabled.

This field will not be included in the parent fieldset or form's serializedValue.

export const disabled = () => html`
  <lion-input disabled .modelValue=${'This is disabled'} label="Disabled"></lion-input>
`;

Prefix

Prefix slot does not have an active use case yet.

export const prefix = () => html`
  <lion-input label="Prefix">
    <div slot="prefix">[prefix]</div>
  </lion-input>
`;

Suffix

The suffix can be used for addons to the input like a calculator, datepicker or addressbook. In these cases a button with an icon is used.

export const suffix = () => html`
  <lion-input label="Suffix">
    <div slot="suffix">[suffix]</div>
  </lion-input>
`;

Before

Before slot does not have an active use case yet.

export const before = () => html`
  <lion-input label="Before">
    <div slot="before">[before]</div>
  </lion-input>
`;

After

export const after = () => html`
  <lion-input label="Amount">
    <div slot="after">EUR</div>
  </lion-input>
  <lion-input label="Percentage">
    <div slot="after">%</div>
  </lion-input>
`;

Using validation

The input can be used with validation. On certain conditions, a feedback message can be shown if the input value is invalid.

You can change the locale with the buttons below the field. Our default validators come with default translations already.

export const validation = () => {
  loadDefaultFeedbackMessages();
  return html`
    <lion-input
      label="Value"
      .modelValue=${'Too long input'}
      .validators=${[new MaxLength(5)]}
    ></lion-input>
    <button @click=${() => (localize.locale = 'de-DE')}>DE</button>
    <button @click=${() => (localize.locale = 'en-GB')}>EN</button>
    <button @click=${() => (localize.locale = 'fr-FR')}>FR</button>
    <button @click=${() => (localize.locale = 'nl-NL')}>NL</button>
    <button @click=${() => (localize.locale = 'zh-CN')}>CN</button>
  `;
