TextInput

Purpose

A type of input field that is used to enter strings of text, numbers, or characters and are used often in forms and dialogs.

Dos

Match field width to the intended input
Use vertically stacked fields unless fields can logically be paired (first / last name, credit card expiry / CVV)
Add optional in-line links only at the end of the message and use sparingly
Use with the <FormField> component to add a label
Include a type (date, email, etc) that best matches the data

Don’ts

Use wide fields for inputs such as zip code, CVV, number of items, etc
Use all-uppercase in labels or placeholder text
Try not to use inputs without labels. If it can’t have a label visually, hide the label accessibly (srOnly in CSS utilities) and make sure placeholder text is visible

Usage

import { TextInput } from '@loomhq/lens'
<TextInput />

With icon

<Arrange columns="1fr" gap="small">
  <TextInput placeholder="Search" icon={<SvgSearch />} size="small" />
  <TextInput placeholder="Search" icon={<SvgSearch />} size="medium" />
  <TextInput placeholder="Search" icon={<SvgSearch />} size="large" />
</Arrange>

<Arrange columns="1fr" gap="small">
  <TextInput placeholder="Search" icon={<SvgSearch />} size="small" />
  <TextInput placeholder="Search" icon={<SvgSearch />} size="medium" />
  <TextInput placeholder="Search" icon={<SvgSearch />} size="large" />
</Arrange>

See the Icon set.

Sizes

medium (36px) is the default size and should cover most use cases.
Use large size for landing pages and marketing pages.
Use small in modals, mobile and mobile web.

Forwarding refs

Use the ref prop to access the DOM node.

More about forwarding refs.

() => {
  const ref = useRef(null)
  const onButtonClick = () => ref.current.focus()
  return (
    <>
      <Spacer bottom="small">
        <Button onClick={onButtonClick}>Focus</Button>
      </Spacer>
      <TextInput ref={ref} />
    </>
  )
}

() => {
  const ref = useRef(null)
  const onButtonClick = () => ref.current.focus()
  return (
    <>
      <Spacer bottom="small">
        <Button onClick={onButtonClick}>Focus</Button>
      </Spacer>
      <TextInput ref={ref} />
    </>
  )
