Add your input HTML

Add class="input" to supported <input> elements. Inputs inside a class="field" container also receive the same styling automatically for common text-like input types.

Use native HTML attributes for behavior: disabled for disabled inputs, required for required fields, and aria-invalid="true" for invalid state styling.

<input class="input" type="email" placeholder="Email" />

Examples

Basic

<input class="input" type="email" placeholder="Email" />

Field

Use field with a label and description to create an accessible field.

Enter your email address.

<div role="group" class="field">
  <label for="input-field">Email</label>
  <input id="input-field" type="email" placeholder="m@example.com" />
  <p>Enter your email address.</p>
