createTextField

Features

Text fields can be built with <input> or <textarea> and <label> elements, but you must manually ensure that they are semantically connected via ids for accessibility. createTextField helps automate this, and handle other accessibility features while allowing for custom styling.

• Built with a native <input> or <textarea> element
• Visual and ARIA labeling support
• Change, clipboard, composition, selection, and input event support
• Required and invalid states exposed to assistive technology via ARIA
• Support for description and error message help text linked to the input via ARIA

How to use it

import { AriaTextFieldProps, createTextField } from "@solid-aria/textfield";

function TextField(props: AriaTextFieldProps<"input">) {
  let ref: HTMLInputElement | undefined;

  const { labelProps, inputProps, descriptionProps, errorMessageProps } = createTextField(
    props,
    () => ref
  );

  return (
    <div style={{ display: "flex", "flex-direction": "column", width: "200px" }}>
      <label {...labelProps}>{props.label}</label>
      <input {...inputProps} ref={ref} />
      <Show when={props.description}>
        <div {...descriptionProps} style={{ "font-size": "12px" }}>
          {props.description}
        </div>
      </Show>
      <Show when={props.errorMessage}>
        <div {...errorMessageProps} style={{ color: "red", "font-size": "12px" }}>
          {props.errorMessage}
        </div>
      </Show>
    </div>
  );
}

function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <TextField label="Email" />
      <TextField
        label="Email"
        description="Enter an email for us to contact you about your order."
      />
      <TextField label="Email" errorMessage="Please enter a valid email address." />
    </>
  );
}

Internationalization

RTL

In right-to-left languages, text fields should be mirrored. Ensure that your CSS accounts for this.
