--- title: Input lang: en-US --- # Input Input data using mouse or keyboard. :::warning Input is a controlled component, it **always shows Vue binding value**. Under normal circumstances, `input` event should be handled. Its handler should update component's binding value (or use `v-model`). Otherwise, input box's value will not change. Do not support `v-model` modifiers. ::: ## Basic usage :::demo input/basic ::: ## Disabled :::demo Disable the Input with the `disabled` attribute. input/disabled ::: ## Clearable :::demo Make the Input clearable with the `clearable` attribute. input/clearable ::: ## Formatter Display value within it's situation with `formatter`, and we usually use `parser` at the same time. :::demo input/formatter ::: ## Password box :::demo Make a toggle-able password Input with the `show-password` attribute. input/password ::: ## Input with icon Add an icon to indicate input type. :::demo To add icons in Input, you can simply use `prefix-icon` and `suffix-icon` attributes. Also, the `prefix` and `suffix` named slots works as well. input/with-icon ::: ## Textarea Resizable for entering multiple lines of text information. Add attribute `type="textarea"` to change `input` into native `textarea`. :::demo Control the height by setting the `rows` prop. input/textarea ::: ## Autosize Textarea Setting the `autosize` prop for a textarea type of Input makes the height to automatically adjust based on the content. An options object can be provided to `autosize` to specify the minimum and maximum number of lines the textarea can automatically adjust. :::demo input/auto-sizing-textarea ::: ## Mixed input Prepend or append an element, generally a label or a button. :::demo Use `slot` to distribute elements that prepend or append to Input. input/mixed-input ::: ## Sizes :::demo Add `size` attribute to change the size of Input. In addition to the default size, there are two other options: `large`, `small`. input/various-size ::: ## Limit length :::demo `maxlength` and `minlength` attributes of input, they declare a limit on the number of characters a user can input. The "number of characters" is measured using JavaScript string length.Setting the `maxlength` prop for a text or textarea type of Input can limit the length of input value, allows you to show word count by setting `show-word-limit` to `true` at the same time. input/length-limiting ::: ## Input Attributes | Attribute | Description | Type | Accepted Values | Default | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | type | type of input | string | text, textarea and other [native input types](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#Form_%3Cinput%3E_types) | text | | modelValue / v-model | binding value | string / number | — | — | | maxlength | the max length | string / number | — | — | | minlength | same as `minlength` in native input | number | — | — | | show-word-limit | whether show word count，only works when `type` is 'text' or 'textarea' | boolean | — | false | | placeholder | placeholder of Input | string | — | — | | clearable | whether to show clear button | boolean | — | false | | formatter | specifies the format of the value presented input.(only works when `type` is 'text') | function(value: string / number): string | — | — | | parser | specifies the value extracted from formatter input.(only works when `type` is 'text') | function(string): string | — | — | | show-password | whether to show toggleable password input | boolean | — | false | | disabled | whether Input is disabled | boolean | — | false | | size | size of Input, works when `type` is not 'textarea' | string | large / default / small | — | | prefix-icon | prefix icon component | string / Component | — | — | | suffix-icon | suffix icon component | string / Component | — | — | | rows | number of rows of textarea, only works when `type` is 'textarea' | number | — | 2 | | autosize | whether textarea has an adaptive height, only works when `type` is 'textarea'.
