FAQs
When should I use Input vs Textarea?
When entering entries in one line, like emails, names, or passwords, use Input. Textarea should be used when the content is in multiple lines, such as comments, messages, or descriptions.
How do I add validation to inputs?
Shadcn Input should be used with React Hook Form or validation libraries such as Zod/Yup. Input states like focus, disabled, and invalid offer a predictable downfall for styling error messages.
Can I customize the way an input looks?
Tailwind CSS customization is super flexible when spacing, sizing, color, borders, focus states, and other features. Adding icons, prefixes, and suffixes is also an option for a better user experience!
Are you able to include icons or text that go before or after an input?
For sure! Inputs can have icons, text, and buttons to take actions like search, show currency, or toggle a password.
Can the password inputs show password visibility?
Definitely! Password inputs can have functionality that allows you to show/hide the password, and can also have an indicator to show the strength of the password.
How do I manage inputs that are formatted like a currency or phone number?
When formatted values are to be displayed to the user, controlled inputs should be used to save the value. Shadcn Input allows you to manage the application's state so that you can focus on user experience to the greatest extent.
Should I use controlled or uncontrolled inputs?
We support both modes. Controlled inputs allow for programmatic state management. Uncontrolled inputs are easier for static forms.
