Text Input

Text Input allows users to enter and edit alphanumeric data. Use them to gather short-to-medium-long data entries.

What the component handles

  • Associated helper message and error message announced by screen readers in a correct order
  • Required attribute announced by the screen readers
  • Character count is announced by screen reader when the user stops typing via aria-live="polite"

What you need to provide

  • aria-labelledby if you’re referencing an existing label element
  • if a Placeholder is the sole way of describing the required format (which should be avoided by all means), add a hidden label with the format example, and use aria-describedby

Color contrast

  • background.static.xxx tokens except for background.static.inverse and background.static.on-color
  • in default Card variant.
