Form
Form consists of input
, radio
, select
, checkbox
and so on. With form, you can collect, verify and submit data.
Basic form
It includes all kinds of input items, such as input
, select
, radio
and checkbox
.
:::demo In each form
component, you need a form-item
field to be the container of your input item.
<el-form ref="form" :model="form" label-width="120px">
<el-form-item label="Activity name">
<el-input v-model="form.name"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Activity zone">
<el-select v-model="form.region" placeholder="please select your zone">
<el-option label="Zone one" value="shanghai"></el-option>
<el-option label="Zone two" value="beijing"></el-option>
</el-select>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Activity time">
<el-col :span="11">
<el-date-picker type="date" placeholder="Pick a date" v-model="form.date1" style="width: 100%;"></el-date-picker>
</el-col>
<el-col class="line" :span="2">-</el-col>
<el-col :span="11">
<el-time-picker type="fixed-time" placeholder="Pick a time" v-model="form.date2" style="width: 100%;"></el-time-picker>
</el-col>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Instant delivery">
<el-switch v-model="form.delivery"></el-switch>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Activity type">
<el-checkbox-group v-model="form.type">
<el-checkbox label="Online activities" name="type"></el-checkbox>
<el-checkbox label="Promotion activities" name="type"></el-checkbox>
<el-checkbox label="Offline activities" name="type"></el-checkbox>
<el-checkbox label="Simple brand exposure" name="type"></el-checkbox>
</el-checkbox-group>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Resources">
<el-radio-group v-model="form.resource">
<el-radio label="Sponsor"></el-radio>
<el-radio label="Venue"></el-radio>
</el-radio-group>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Activity form">
<el-input type="textarea" v-model="form.desc"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item>
<el-button type="primary" @click="onSubmit">Create</el-button>
<el-button>Cancel</el-button>
</el-form-item>
</el-form>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
form: {
name: '',
region: '',
date1: '',
date2: '',
delivery: false,
type: [],
resource: '',
desc: ''
}
}
},
methods: {
onSubmit() {
console.log('submit!');
}
}
}
</script>
:::
:::tip W3C regulates that
When there is only one single-line text input field in a form, the user agent should accept Enter in that field as a request to submit the form.
To prevent this behavior, you can add @submit.native.prevent
on <el-form>
.
:::
Inline form
When the vertical space is limited and the form is relatively simple, you can put it in one line.
:::demo Set the inline
attribute to true
and the form will be inline.
<el-form :inline="true" :model="formInline" class="demo-form-inline">
<el-form-item label="Approved by">
<el-input v-model="formInline.user" placeholder="Approved by"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Activity zone">
<el-select v-model="formInline.region" placeholder="Activity zone">
<el-option label="Zone one" value="shanghai"></el-option>
<el-option label="Zone two" value="beijing"></el-option>
</el-select>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item>
<el-button type="primary" @click="onSubmit">Query</el-button>
</el-form-item>
</el-form>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
formInline: {
user: '',
region: ''
}
}
},
methods: {
onSubmit() {
console.log('submit!');
}
}
}
</script>
:::
Alignment
Depending on your design, there are several different ways to align your label element.
:::demo The label-position
attribute decides how labels align, it can be top
or left
. When set to top
, labels will be placed at the top of the form field.
<el-radio-group v-model="labelPosition" size="small">
<el-radio-button label="left">Left</el-radio-button>
<el-radio-button label="right">Right</el-radio-button>
<el-radio-button label="top">Top</el-radio-button>
</el-radio-group>
<div style="margin: 20px;"></div>
<el-form :label-position="labelPosition" label-width="100px" :model="formLabelAlign">
<el-form-item label="Name">
<el-input v-model="formLabelAlign.name"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Activity zone">
<el-input v-model="formLabelAlign.region"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Activity form">
<el-input v-model="formLabelAlign.type"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
</el-form>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
labelPosition: 'right',
formLabelAlign: {
name: '',
region: '',
type: ''
}
};
}
}
</script>
:::
Validation
Form component allows you to verify your data, helping you find and correct errors.
:::demo Just add the rules
attribute for Form
component, pass validation rules, and set prop
attribute for Form-Item
as a specific key that needs to be validated. See more information at async-validator.
<el-form :model="ruleForm" :rules="rules" ref="ruleForm" label-width="120px" class="demo-ruleForm">

Custom validation rules
This example shows how to customize your own validation rules to finish a two-factor password verification.
:::demo Here we use status-icon
to reflect validation result as an icon.
<el-form :model="ruleForm2" status-icon :rules="rules2" ref="ruleForm2" label-width="120px" class="demo-ruleForm">
<el-form-item label="Password" prop="pass">
<el-input type="password" v-model="ruleForm2.pass" auto-complete="off"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Confirm" prop="checkPass">
<el-input type="password" v-model="ruleForm2.checkPass" auto-complete="off"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item label="Age" prop="age">
<el-input v-model.number="ruleForm2.age"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item>
<el-button type="primary" @click="submitForm('ruleForm2')">Submit</el-button>
<el-button @click="resetForm('ruleForm2')">Reset</el-button>
</el-form-item>
</el-form>
<script>
export default {
data() {
var checkAge = (rule, value, callback) => {
if (!value) {
return callback(new Error('Please input the age'));
}
setTimeout(() => {
if (!Number.isInteger(value)) {
callback(new Error('Please input digits'));
} else {
if (value < 18) {
callback(new Error('Age must be greater than 18'));
} else {
callback();
}
}
}, 1000);
};
var validatePass = (rule, value, callback) => {
if (value === '') {
callback(new Error('Please input the password'));
} else {
if (this.ruleForm2.checkPass !== '') {
this.$refs.ruleForm2.validateField('checkPass');
}
callback();
}
};
var validatePass2 = (rule, value, callback) => {
if (value === '') {
callback(new Error('Please input the password again'));
} else if (value !== this.ruleForm2.pass) {
callback(new Error('Two inputs don\'t match!'));
} else {
callback();
}
};
return {
ruleForm2: {
pass: '',
checkPass: '',
age: ''
},
rules2: {
pass: [
{ validator: validatePass, trigger: 'blur' }
],
checkPass: [
{ validator: validatePass2, trigger: 'blur' }
],
age: [
{ validator: checkAge, trigger: 'blur' }
]
}
};
},
methods: {
submitForm(formName) {
this.$refs[formName].validate((valid) => {
if (valid) {
alert('submit!');
} else {
console.log('error submit!!');
return false;
}
});
},
resetForm(formName) {
this.$refs[formName].resetFields();
}
}
}
</script>
:::
Delete or add form items dynamically
:::demo In addition to passing all validation rules at once on the form component, you can also pass the validation rules or delete rules on a single form field dynamically.
<el-form :model="dynamicValidateForm" ref="dynamicValidateForm" label-width="120px" class="demo-dynamic">
<el-form-item
prop="email"
label="Email"
:rules="[
{ required: true, message: 'Please input email address', trigger: 'blur' },
{ type: 'email', message: 'Please input correct email address', trigger: 'blur,change' }
]"
>
<el-input v-model="dynamicValidateForm.email"></el-input>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item
v-for="(domain, index) in dynamicValidateForm.domains"
:label="'Domain' + index"
:key="domain.key"
:prop="'domains.' + index + '.value'"
:rules="{
required: true, message: 'domain can not be null', trigger: 'blur'
}"
>
<el-input v-model="domain.value"></el-input><el-button @click.prevent="removeDomain(domain)">Delete</el-button>
</el-form-item>
<el-form-item>
<el-button type="primary" @click="submitForm('dynamicValidateForm')">Submit</el-button>
<el-button @click="addDomain">New domain</el-button>
<el-button @click="resetForm('dynamicValidateForm')">Reset</el-button>
</el-form-item>
</el-form>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
dynamicValidateForm: {
domains: [{
key: 1,
value: ''
}],
email: ''
}
};
},
methods: {
submitForm(formName) {
this.$refs[formName].validate((valid) => {
if (valid) {
alert('submit!');
} else {
console.log('error submit!!');
return false;
}
});
},
resetForm(formName) {
this.$refs[formName].resetFields();
},
removeDomain(item) {
var index = this.dynamicValidateForm.domains.indexOf(item);
if (index !== -1) {
this.dynamicValidateForm.domains.splice(index, 1);
}
},
addDomain() {
this.dynamicValidateForm.domains.push({
key: Date.now(),
value: ''
});
}
}
}
</script>
:::
Number Validate
::: demo Number Validate need a .number
modifier added on the input v-model
binding,it's used to transform the string value to the number which is provided by Vuejs.
<el-form :model="numberValidateForm" ref="numberValidateForm" label-width="100px" class="demo-ruleForm">
<el-form-item
label="age"
prop="age"
:rules="[
{ required: true, message: 'age is required'},

:::
:::tip
When an el-form-item
is nested in another el-form-item
, its label width will be 0
. You can set label-width
on that el-form-item
if needed.
:::
Size control
All components in a Form inherit their size
attribute from that Form. Similarly, FormItem also has a size
attribute.
::: demo Still you can fine tune each component's size
if you don't want that component to inherit its size from From or FormIten.
