Form field

Unofficial

A component for colecting a piece of data from the user. The type of form field that is rendered will depend on the props that are supplied to it. For example, providing a few options will cause it to render as some radio buttons.

Note: To use this as part of the wider forms framework, you should instead import the Form component and replace FormField in the examples below with Form.Field.

The name you’ll use on promotional material.
<div id="name" class="govuk-form-group">

How it works

With minimal props it will render as a simple text field.

The name you’ll use on promotional material.
<div id="name" class="govuk-form-group">
  <label for="name-input" class="govuk-label">
    <h1 class="govuk-heading-l">
      What is the name of the event?
    </h1>
  </label>
  <span id="name-hint" class="govuk-hint">
    The name you’ll use on promotional material.
  </span>
  <input
    type="text"
    name="name"
    aria-describedby="name-hint"
    id="name-input"
    class="govuk-input"
  />
</div>

<FormField
  name="name"
  label={
    <h1 className="govuk-heading-l">
      What is the name of the event?
    </h1>
  }
  hint="The name you’ll use on promotional material."
/>

Multi-line

By adding a rows prop that is greater than 1 we get a textarea of that size.

This will be displayed on promotional material.
<div id="desc" class="govuk-form-group">
  <label for="desc-input" class="govuk-label">
    <h1 class="govuk-heading-l">
      How would you describe the event?
    </h1>
  </label>
  <span id="desc-hint" class="govuk-hint">
    This will be displayed on promotional material.
  </span>
  <textarea
    name="desc"
    aria-describedby="desc-hint"
    class="govuk-textarea"
    id="desc-input"
    rows="3"
  ></textarea>
</div>

<FormField
  name="desc"
  label={
    <h1 className="govuk-heading-l">
      How would you describe the event?
    </h1>
  }
  hint="This will be displayed on promotional material."
  rows={3}
/>

Dates

It's also possible to force a certain rendering mode by using the type prop. The most common use for this is to ask for dates by setting it to date.

When is the event?

For example, 12 11 2007 
<div id="date" class="govuk-form-group">
  <fieldset
    aria-describedby="date-hint"
    class="govuk-fieldset"
  >
    <legend class="govuk-fieldset__legend">
      <h1 class="govuk-heading-l">
        When is the event?
      </h1>
    </legend>
    <span id="date-hint" class="govuk-hint">
      For example, 12 11 2007
    </span>
    <div class="govuk-date-input">
      <div class="govuk-date-input__item">
        <label for="date-day" class="govuk-label">
          Day
        </label>
        <input
          type="text"
          id="date-day"
          name="date[day]"
          pattern="[0-9]*"
          inputmode="numeric"
          class="govuk-input govuk-input--width-2 govuk-date-input__input"
        />
      </div>
      <div class="govuk-date-input__item">
        <label for="date-month" class="govuk-label">
          Month
        </label>
        <input
          type="text"
          id="date-month"
          name="date[month]"
          pattern="[0-9]*"
          inputmode="numeric"
          class="govuk-input govuk-input--width-2 govuk-date-input__input"
        />
      </div>
      <div class="govuk-date-input__item">
        <label for="date-year" class="govuk-label">
          Year
        </label>
        <input
          type="text"
          id="date-year"
          name="date[year]"
          pattern="[0-9]*"
          inputmode="numeric"
          class="govuk-input govuk-input--width-4 govuk-date-input__input"
        />
      </div>
    </div>
  </fieldset>
</div>

<FormField
  name="date"
  label={
    <h1 className="govuk-heading-l">
      When is the event?
    </h1>
  }
  type="date"
/>

Date picker

If you prefer, you can still use the browser's native, date-picker by setting the type props to native-date.

<div id="date" class="govuk-form-group">
  <label for="date-input" class="govuk-label">
    <h1 class="govuk-heading-l">
      When is the event?
    </h1>
  </label>
  <input
    type="date"
    name="date"
    id="date-input"
    class="govuk-input"
  />
</div>

<FormField
  name="date"
  label={
    <h1 className="govuk-heading-l">
      When is the event?
    </h1>
  }
  type="native-date"
/>

Selecting from options

If you want the user to only answer from a list of options just provide an options prop.

A single choice from few options

Providing very few option will give you radios.
