Basic Usage

TextField provides a complete form input structure with label and description.

<TextField>
  <Label>Email</Label>
  <Input placeholder="Enter your email" />
  <Description>We'll never share your email</Description>
</TextField>

With Required Field

Mark fields as required to show an asterisk in the label.

<TextField isRequired>
  <Label>Username</Label>
  <Input placeholder="Choose a username" />
</TextField>

With Validation

Display error messages when the field is invalid.

import { FieldError, Input, Label, TextField } from 'heroui-native';

<TextField isRequired isInvalid={true}>
  <Label>Email</Label>
  <Input placeholder="Enter your email" />
  <FieldError>Please enter a valid email</FieldError>
</TextField>

With Local Invalid State Override

Override the context's invalid state for individual components.

import { Description, FieldError, Input, Label, TextField } from 'heroui-native';

<TextField isInvalid={true}>
  <Label isInvalid={false}>Email</Label>
  <Input placeholder="Enter your email" isInvalid={false} />
  <Description isInvalid={false}>
    This shows despite input being invalid
  </Description>
  <FieldError>Email format is incorrect</FieldError>
</TextField>

Multiline Input

Create text areas for longer content.

<TextField>
  <Label>Message</Label>
  <Input
    placeholder="Type your message..."
    multiline
    numberOfLines={4}
  />
  <Description>Maximum 500 characters</Description>
</TextField>

Disabled State

Disable the entire field to prevent interaction.

<TextField isDisabled>
  <Label>Disabled Field</Label>
  <Input placeholder="Cannot edit" value="Read only value" />
</TextField>

With Variant

Use different variants to style the input based on context.

<TextField>
  <Label>Primary Variant</Label>
  <Input placeholder="Primary style" variant="primary" />
</TextField>

<TextField>
  <Label>Secondary Variant</Label>
  <Input placeholder="Secondary style" variant="secondary" />
</TextField>

Custom Styling

Customize the input appearance using className.

<TextField>
  <Label>Custom Styled</Label>
  <Input
    placeholder="Custom colors"
    className="bg-blue-50 border-blue-500 focus:border-blue-700"
  />
</TextField>
