TextInput

HTML <input> element with type "text" or "search", wrapped in a <div>.

v-model is used to track the current value of the input. See the events docs for details on emitted events and their properties.

Attributes passed to input

This component will pass any HTML attributes applied to it, except for CSS class, to the <input> element within the component.

Default

This simple example demonstrates how to bind a reactive reference to the input's value via v-model. The reactive reference will automatically update when the input value changes.

Open up the browser console to see events emitted on input, change, focus, and blur.

Input value:

In this example, the parent component sets an initial value and has a reset button that will restore that initial value on click.

Input value: Initial value

Clearable

Including the clearable prop will add a clear button to the end of the icon when the input is not empty. On click, the clear button will set the input value to an empty string.

Input value:

With icons

A TextInput can have a startIcon, an endIcon, or both. Any Codex icon can be used.

Note that a clearable TextInput with an endIcon will display both the clear button and the endIcon when the input is not empty. To see this behavior, type in the input below.

With placeholder

To add placeholder text, add a placeholder attribute.

Disabled

To disable the input, add the disabled attribute.
