Anatomy

Composed Components

A SearchField uses the following components.

Examples

Disabled

A search field in a disabled state shows that an input field exists, but is not available in that circumstance. This can be used to maintain layout continuity and communicate that a field may become available later.

ReadOnly

The isReadOnly prop makes the SearchField's text content immutable. Unlike isDisabled, the search field remains focusable and the contents can still be copied. See the MDN docs for more information.

Error

A search field can be displayed in an error state to indicate that the user input is invalid.

Hide Clear Button

A search field can hide its clear button.

Sizes

Search fields have multiple sizes to choose from.

Labeling

If a visible label isn't specified, an aria-label must be provided to the search field for accessibility. If the field is labeled by a separate element, an aria-labelledby prop must be provided using the ID of the labeling element instead.

Description

A search field with a helper message.

Migration Notes

  • Boolean props are now prefixed by is.
  • There is no longer a loading state.
  • icon prop has been renamed to prefix.
  • Button props have been removed. To add a clear button, use the isClearable prop. For a more complex use case, create your own input using InputGroup.
  • wrapperProps no longer exists.
  • validationState has been changed to isInvalid.
