Svelte Input Fields - Flowbite

Get started with a collection of input fields built with Tailwind CSS to start accepting data from the user based on multiple sizes, variants, and input types

The input field is an important part of the form element that can be used to create interactive controls to accept data from the user based on multiple input types, such as text, email, number, password, URL, phone number, and more.

On this page you will find all of the input types based on multiple variants, styles, colors, and sizes built with the utility classes from Tailwind CSS and components from Flowbite.

Setup #

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Input, Label, Helper } from 'flowbite-svelte';
</script>

Input fields #

Use this example as a generic form element which includes multiple input fields types such as text, email, password, number, URL, and phone number and use the grid layout to add multiple columns and rows.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Input, Label, Helper, Button, Checkbox, A } from 'flowbite-svelte';
</script>

<form>
  <div class="grid gap-6 mb-6 md:grid-cols-2">
    <div>

Input sizes #

Use the following examples to apply a small, default or large size for the input fields.

User the size prop to change the input size. Choose one from ‘sm:text-md’ | ‘text-sm’ | ‘sm:text-xs’. The default size is text-sm.

  • Svelte
<Label class="space-y-2">
  <span>Small icon input</span>
  <Input type="email" placeholder="Small input" size="sm" />
</Label>

<Label class="space-y-2">
  <span>Default icon input</span>
  <Input type="email" placeholder="Default input" size="md" />
</Label>

<Label class="space-y-2">
  <span>Large icon input</span>
  <Input type="email" placeholder="Large input" size="lg" />
</Label>

  • Svelte
<Input class="mb-6" disabled value="Disabled input" />
<Input class="mb-6" disabled readonly value="Disabled readonly input" />

Validation #

Use the following example to apply validation styles for success and error messages.

  • Svelte
<script>

  import { EnvelopeSolid } from 'flowbite-svelte-icons';
</script>

<Label class="space-y-2">
  <span>Small input - left icon</span>

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Label, Input, Button, InputAddon, ButtonGroup, Checkbox } from 'flowbite-svelte';
</script>

<div>
  <Label class="mb-2" for="input-addon-sm">Small additional text</Label>

    <Input id="input-addon-sm" type="email" placeholder="elonmusk" />
  </ButtonGroup>
</div>

<div>
  <Label class="mb-2" for="input-addon-md">Default additional text</Label>
  <ButtonGroup class="w-full" size="md">
    <Input id="input-addon-md" type="email" placeholder="elonmusk" />
    <InputAddon>.com</InputAddon>
  </ButtonGroup>
</div>

<div>
  <Label class="mb-2" for="input-addon-lg">Large additional text</Label>
  <ButtonGroup class="w-full" size="lg">
    <InputAddon>@</InputAddon>
    <Input id="input-addon-lg" type="email" placeholder="elonmusk" />
    <InputAddon>.com</InputAddon>
  </ButtonGroup>
</div>

<div class="pt-8">
  <Label for="input-addon" class="mb-2">Grouped with button</Label>
  <ButtonGroup class="w-full">
    <InputAddon>@</InputAddon>
    <Input id="input-addon" type="email" placeholder="elonmusk" />
    <Button color="primary">Search</Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</div>

<div>
  <Label for="input-addon" class="mb-2">Crazy example</Label>
  <ButtonGroup class="w-full">
    <InputAddon><Checkbox /></InputAddon>
    <Button color="primary">Search</Button>
    <InputAddon>http://</InputAddon>
    <Input id="input-addon" type="email" placeholder="elonmusk" />
    <InputAddon>@</InputAddon>
    <InputAddon><Checkbox /></InputAddon>
    <Button color="blue">Send</Button>
    <InputAddon>kg</InputAddon>
  </ButtonGroup>
</div>

Icon click handler #

This example shows how to add on:click event handler to the icon in Input. By clicking an icon, it toggles icon and type:

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Button, Label, Input, ButtonGroup, InputAddon, ToolbarButton } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  import { EyeOutline, EyeSlashOutline } from 'flowbite-svelte-icons';
  let show = false;
  let show1 = false;
</script>

<div>
  <Label for="show-password" class="mb-2">Your password</Label>
  <Input id="show-password" type={show ? 'text' : 'password'} placeholder="Your password here" size="lg">
    <button slot="left" on:click={() => (show = !show)} class="pointer-events-auto">
      {#if show}
        <EyeOutline class="w-6 h-6" />
      {:else}
        <EyeSlashOutline class="w-6 h-6" />
      {/if}
    </button>
  </Input>
</div>

<div>
  <Label for="show-password1" class="mb-2">Your password</Label>
  <ButtonGroup class="w-full">
    <InputAddon>
      <button on:click={() => (show1 = !show1)}>
        {#if show1}
          <EyeOutline class="w-6 h-6" />
        {:else}
          <EyeSlashOutline class="w-6 h-6" />
        {/if}
      </button>
    </InputAddon>
    <Input id="show-password1" type={show1 ? 'text' : 'password'} placeholder="Your password here" />
  </ButtonGroup>
</div>

Helper text #

Use the helper prop to add your helper text. You can use HTML in the helper text.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Input, Label, Helper } from 'flowbite-svelte';
</script>

<Label class="block space-y-2">
  <span>Your email</span>
  <Input label="Email" id="email" name="email" required placeholder="name@flowbite.com" />
  <Helper class="text-sm">
    We’ll never share your details. Read our <a href="/" class="font-medium text-primary-600 hover:underline dark:text-primary-500"> Privacy Policy </a>
    .
  </Helper>
</Label>

Number input #

By default the Input component binds the value as string. If you need a variable bound as number you need to use a specialised version of Input called NumberInput.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { NumberInput, Label } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  let value = 5;
</script>

<Label class="space-y-2 mb-4">
  <span>Your Email</span>
  <NumberInput bind:value />
</Label>

<p>Value: {value}</p>
<p>Type of value: {typeof value}</p>

Search input #

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Input, Label, Button } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  import { SearchOutline } from 'flowbite-svelte-icons';
</script>

<form>
  <Label for="search" class="block mb-2">Your Email</Label>
  <Input id="search" placeholder="Search" size="lg">
    <SearchOutline slot="left" class="w-6 h-6 text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400" />
    <Button slot="right" size="sm" type="submit">Search</Button>
  </Input>
</form>

Dropdown #

Use this example to show a dropdown menu right next to the input field.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Input, InputAddon, ButtonGroup, Button, Dropdown, DropdownItem } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  import { ChevronDownSolid, SearchOutline } from 'flowbite-svelte-icons';
</script>

<ButtonGroup class="w-full">
  <Button color="none" class="flex-shrink-0 text-gray-900 bg-gray-100 border border-gray-300 dark:border-gray-700 dark:text-white hover:bg-gray-200 focus:ring-gray-300 dark:bg-gray-600 dark:hover:bg-gray-700 dark:focus:ring-gray-800">
    All categories<ChevronDownSolid class="w-3 h-3 ms-2 text-white dark:text-white" />
  </Button>
  <Dropdown>
    <DropdownItem>Shopping</DropdownItem>
    <DropdownItem>Images</DropdownItem>
    <DropdownItem>News</DropdownItem>
    <DropdownItem>Finance</DropdownItem>
  </Dropdown>
  <Input placeholder="Search" />
  <Button color="primary" class="!p-2.5" type="submit">
    <SearchOutline class="w-5 h-5" />
  </Button>
</ButtonGroup>

Advanced usage #

If you need a full control over input HTML element while still re-using the Flowbite formatting, you can put the input element as a default slot. The example below is in fact the implementation of the above mentioned NumberInput.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Input } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  let value = 5;
</script>

<Input let:props>
  <div slot="left">#</div>
  <input type="number" {...props} bind:value />
</Input>

Reference to input HTML element #

If you need a reference to input HTML element, you can bind element. The example below shows how to focus on an Input.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Label, Input, Button } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  let element;
</script>

<div class="mb-6">
  <Label for="focus-input" class="block mb-2">Focus input</Label>
  <Input bind:element id="focus-input" size="lg" placeholder="Focus input" />
</div>

<div>
  <Button on:click={() => {element.focus()}}>
    Focus
  </Button>
</div>
