Examples

The Field component provides contexts such as invalid, disabled, required, and readOnly for form elements. While most Ark UI components natively support these contexts, you can also use the Field component with standard HTML form elements.

Input

This example shows how to use the Field component with a standard input field.

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'

export const Input = () => {
  return (
    <Field.Root>
      <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
      <Field.Input />
      <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  )
}

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/solid/field'

export const Input = () => {
  return (
    <Field.Root>
      <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
      <Field.Input />
      <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/vue/field'
</script>

<template>
  <Field.Root>
    <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
    <Field.Input />
    <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
</template>

Textarea

This example illustrates how to use the Field component with a textarea element.

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'

export const Textarea = () => {
  return (
    <Field.Root>
      <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
      <Field.Textarea />
      <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  )
}

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/solid/field'

export const Textarea = () => {
  return (
    <Field.Root>
      <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
      <Field.Textarea />
      <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/vue/field'
</script>

<template>
  <Field.Root>
    <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
    <Field.Textarea />
    <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
</template>

Textarea Autoresize

Pass the autoresize prop to the Textarea component to enable automatic resizing as the user types.

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'

export const TextareaAutoresize = () => {
  return (
    <Field.Root>
      <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
      <Field.Textarea autoresize />
      <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  )
}

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/solid/field'

export const TextareaAutoresize = () => {
  return (
    <Field.Root>
      <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
      <Field.Textarea autoresize />
      <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/vue/field'
</script>

<template>
  <Field.Root>
    <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
    <Field.Textarea autoresize />
    <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
</template>

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'

export const Select = () => {
  return (
    <Field.Root>
      <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
      <Field.Select>
        <option value="1">Option 1</option>
        <option value="2">Option 2</option>
        <option value="3">Option 3</option>
      </Field.Select>
      <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  )
}

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/solid/field'

export const Select = () => {
  return (
    <Field.Root>
      <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
      <Field.Select>
        <option value="1">Option 1</option>
        <option value="2">Option 2</option>
        <option value="3">Option 3</option>
      </Field.Select>
      <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">

    <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
    <Field.Select>
      <option value="1">Option 1</option>
      <option value="2">Option 2</option>
      <option value="3">Option 3</option>
    </Field.Select>
    <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
</template>

Checkbox

This example demonstrates how to integrate the Field and Checkbox components.

import { Checkbox } from '@ark-ui/react/checkbox'
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'
import { CheckIcon, MinusIcon } from 'lucide-react'

export const WithField = (props: Field.RootProps) => (
  <Field.Root {...props}>
    <Checkbox.Root>
      <Checkbox.Label>Label</Checkbox.Label>
      <Checkbox.Control>
        <Checkbox.Indicator>
          <CheckIcon />
        </Checkbox.Indicator>
        <Checkbox.Indicator indeterminate>
          <MinusIcon />
        </Checkbox.Indicator>
      </Checkbox.Control>
      <Checkbox.HiddenInput />
    </Checkbox.Root>
    <Field.HelperText>Additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
)

import { Checkbox } from '@ark-ui/solid/checkbox'
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/solid/field'
import { CheckIcon, MinusIcon } from 'lucide-solid'

export const WithField = (props: Field.RootProps) => (
  <Field.Root {...props}>
    <Checkbox.Root>
      <Checkbox.Label>Label</Checkbox.Label>
      <Checkbox.Control>
        <Checkbox.Indicator>
          <CheckIcon />
        </Checkbox.Indicator>
        <Checkbox.Indicator indeterminate>
          <MinusIcon />
        </Checkbox.Indicator>
      </Checkbox.Control>
      <Checkbox.HiddenInput />
    </Checkbox.Root>
    <Field.HelperText>Additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Checkbox } from '@ark-ui/vue/checkbox'
import { Field, type FieldRootProps } from '@ark-ui/vue/field'
import { CheckIcon, MinusIcon } from 'lucide-vue-next'

const props = defineProps<FieldRootProps>()
</script>

<template>
  <Field.Root v-bind="props">
    <Checkbox.Root>
      <Checkbox.Label>Label</Checkbox.Label>
      <Checkbox.Control>
        <Checkbox.Indicator>
          <CheckIcon />
        </Checkbox.Indicator>
        <Checkbox.Indicator indeterminate>
          <MinusIcon />
        </Checkbox.Indicator>
      </Checkbox.Control>
      <Checkbox.HiddenInput />
    </Checkbox.Root>
    <Field.HelperText>Additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.Root>
</template>

Root Provider

Use the useField hook to create the field store and pass it to the Field.RootProvider component. This allows you to have maximum control over the field programmatically.

import { Field, useField } from '@ark-ui/react/field'
import { useState } from 'react'

export const RootProvider = () => {
  const [invalid, setInvalid] = useState(false)
  const value = useField({
    invalid,
  })

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => setInvalid((prev) => !prev)}>Toggle Invalid</button>
      <Field.RootProvider value={value}>
        <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
        <Field.Input />
        <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
        <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
      </Field.RootProvider>
    </>
  )
}

import { Field, useField } from '@ark-ui/solid/field'
import { createMemo, createSignal } from 'solid-js'

export const RootProvider = () => {
  const [invalid, setInvalid] = createSignal(false)
  const fieldProps = createMemo(() => ({
    invalid: invalid(),
  }))
  const value = useField(fieldProps)

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => setInvalid((prev) => !prev)}>Toggle Invalid</button>
      <Field.RootProvider value={value}>
        <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
        <Field.Input />
        <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
        <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
      </Field.RootProvider>
    </>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Field, type UseFieldProps, useField } from '@ark-ui/vue/field'
import { computed, ref } from 'vue'

const invalid = ref(false)
const fieldProps = computed<UseFieldProps>(() => ({
  invalid: invalid.value,
}))

const field = useField(fieldProps)
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="invalid = !invalid">Toggle Invalid</button>

  <Field.RootProvider :value="field">
    <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
    <Field.Input />
    <Field.HelperText>Some additional Info</Field.HelperText>
    <Field.ErrorText>Error Info</Field.ErrorText>
  </Field.RootProvider>
</template>

If you're using the Field.RootProvider component, you don't need to use the Field.Root component.
