Input fields

Vue Bootstrap 5 Input fields

Vue Input fields refer specifically to the text input fields, which are used to obtain data from the users.

Basic example

A basic example of the input field consists of the MDBInput component with specified label property and v-model directive for creating two-way data bindings. 

        
            
            <template>
              <MDBInput label="Example label" v-model="input1" />
            </template>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script>
              import { MDBInput } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
              import { ref } from 'vue';

              export default {
                components: {
                  MDBInput,
                },
                setup() {
                  const input1 = ref('');

                  return {
                    input1,
                  };
                },
              };
            </script>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script setup lang="ts">
              import { MDBInput } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
              import { ref } from 'vue';

              const input1 = ref('');
            </script>

Sizing

Set heights using size property like size="lg" or size="sm". 



        
            
            <template>
              <MDBInput label="Form control lg" size="lg" />
              <MDBInput label="Form control default" />
              <MDBInput label="Form control sm" size="sm" />
            </template>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script>
              import { MDBInput } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';

              export default {
                components: {
                  MDBInput,
                },
              };
            </script>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script setup lang="ts">
              import { MDBInput } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
            </script>

Disabled

Add the disabled boolean attribute on a component to give it a grayed out appearance and remove pointer events. 

        
            
            <template>
              <MDBInput label="Disabled" disabled aria-label="disabled input example" />
            </template>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script>
              import { MDBInput } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';

              export default {
                components: {
                  MDBInput,
                },
              };
            </script>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script setup lang="ts">
              import { MDBInput } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
            </script>

Readonly

Add the readonly boolean attribute on a component to prevent modification of the input’s value. Read-only inputs appear lighter (just like disabled inputs), but retain the standard cursor. 

        
            
          <template>
            <MDBInput label="Readonly" readonly />
          </template>
        
        
    
        
            
          <script>
            import { MDBInput } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";

            export default { 
              components: { 
                MDBInput 
              } 
            };
          </script>
        
        
    
        
            
          <script setup lang="ts">
            import { MDBInput } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
          </script>

Types

Input types let you specified what data users should provide and help you validate it.

Text

Block-level or inline-level form text can be created using .form-text.

Associating form text with form controls
Form text should be explicitly associated with the form control it relates to using the aria-describedby attribute. This will ensure that assistive technologies—such as screen readers—will announce this form text when the user focuses or enters the control.

Form text below inputs can be added with formText property. If a block-level element will be used, a top margin is added for easy spacing from the inputs above.

We'll never share your email with anyone else. 
        
            
            <template>
              <MDBInput
                label="Example label"
                aria-describedby="textExample1"
                formText="We'll never share your email with anyone else."
              />
            </template>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script>
              import { MDBInput } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';

              export default {
                components: {
                  MDBInput
                },
              };
            </script>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script setup lang="ts">
              import { MDBInput } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
            </script>

Inline text can use any typical inline HTML element (be it a <span>, <small>, or something else) with nothing more than the .form-text class.

Must be 8-20 characters long. 
        
            
            <template>
              <div class="row g-3 align-items-center">
                <MDBInput
                  wrapperClass="col-auto"
                  label="Password"
                  id="formTextExample2"
                  aria-describedby="textExample2"
                />
                <div class="col-auto">
                  <span id="textExample2" class="form-text"> Must be 8-20 characters long. </span>

            <script>
              import { MDBInput } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";

              export default {
                components: {
                  MDBInput
                }
              };
            </script>
          
        
    
        
            
            <script setup lang="ts">

            </script>

Icons

              <script>
                import { MDBInput, MDBIcon } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
