Fields

NamePrivacyTypeDefaultDescriptionInherited From
_inputNodeprotectedHTMLInputElement | HTMLTextAreaElementThe interactive (form) element. Can be a native element like input/textarea/select or an element with tabindex > -1LionField
selectionStartpublicnumberNativeTextFieldMixin
selectionEndpublicnumberNativeTextFieldMixin
valuepublicThe view value. Will be delegated to `._inputNode.value` Note: Overrides the implementation from FormatMixinLionField
_focusableNodeprotectedHTMLElementThe focusable element: could be an input, textarea, select, button or any other element with tabindex > -1LionField
autocompletepublicstring | undefinedundefinedDelegates this property to input/textarea/select.NativeTextFieldMixin
formatOnprotectedstring'change'Event that will trigger formatting (more precise, visual update of the view, so the user sees the formatted value) Default: 'change'LionField
formatOptionspublic({})Configuration object that will be available inside the formatter functionLionField
formattedValuepublicstring|undefinedundefinedThe view value is the result of the formatter function (when available). The result will be stored in the native _inputNode (usually an input[type=text]). Examples: - For a date input, this would be '20/01/1999' (dependent on locale). - For a number input, this could be '1,234.56' (a String representation of modelValue 1234.56)LionField
serializedValuepublicstring|undefinedundefinedThe serialized version of the model value. This value exists for maximal compatibility with the platform API. The serialized value can be an interface in context where data binding is not supported and a serialized string needs to be set. Examples: - For a date input, this would be the iso format of a date, e.g. '1999-01-20'. - For a number input this would be the String representation of a float ('1234.56' instead of 1234.56) When no parser is available, the value is usually the same as the formattedValue (being _inputNode.value)LionField
_isPastingprotectedbooleanfalseWhether the user is pasting content. Allows Subclassers to do this in their subclass:LionField
_isHandlingUserInputprotectedbooleanfalseFlag that will be set when user interaction takes place (for instance after an 'input' event). Will be added as meta info to the `model-value-changed` event. Depending on whether a user is interacting, formatting logic will be handled differently.LionField
focusedpublicbooleanfalseWhether the focusable element within (`._focusableNode`) is focused. Reflects to attribute '[focused]' as a styling hookLionField
focusedVisiblepublicbooleanfalseWhether the focusable element within (`._focusableNode`) matches ':focus-visible' Reflects to attribute '[focused-visible]' as a styling hook See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:focus-visibleLionField
autofocuspublicbooleanfalseLionField
labelpublicstring''The label text for the input node. When no value is defined, textContent of [slot=label] will be usedLionField
helpTextpublicstring''The helpt text for the input node. When no value is defined, textContent of [slot=help-text] will be usedLionField
fieldNamepublicstringWill be used in validation messages to refer to the current fieldLionField
slotspublicAdds "._feedbackNode" as described belowLionField
_labelNodeprotectedElement where label will be rendered toLionField
_helpTextNodeprotectedElement where help text will be rendered toLionField
_feedbackNodeprotectedElement where validation feedback will be rendered toLionField
readOnlypublicbooleanfalseA Boolean attribute which, if present, indicates that the user should not be able to edit the value of the input. The difference between disabled and readonly is that read-only controls can still function, whereas disabled controls generally do not function as controls until they are enabled. (From: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#attr-readonly)LionField
labelSrOnlypublicbooleanfalseThe label will only be visible for srceen readers when trueLionField
_inputIdprotectedstringUnique id that can be used in all light domLionField
_ariaLabelledNodespublicHTMLElement[][]Contains all elements that should end up in aria-labelledby of `._inputNode`LionField
_ariaDescribedNodespublicHTMLElement[][]Contains all elements that should end up in aria-describedby of `._inputNode`LionField
_repropagationRolepublic'child'|'choice-group'|'fieldset''child'Based on the role, details of handling model-value-changed repropagation differ.LionField
_isRepropagationEndpointpublicbooleanfalseBy default, a field with _repropagationRole 'choice-group' will act as an 'endpoint'. This means it will be considered as an individual field: for a select, individual options will not be part of the formPath. They will. Similarly, components that (a11y wise) need to be fieldsets, but 'interaction wise' (from Application Developer perspective) need to be more like fields (think of an amount-input with a currency select box next to it), can set this to true to hide private internals in the formPath.LionField
modelValuepublicLionField
typepublicstring'text'LionInput
placeholderpublicstring''LionInput
namepublicstring''The name the element will be registered with to the .formElements collection of the parent. Also, it serves as the key of key/value pairs in modelValue/serializedValue objectsLionField
_parentFormGroupprotectedFormRegistrarHost | undefinedundefinedThe registrar this FormControl registers to, Usually a descendant of FormGroup or ChoiceGroupLionField
allowCrossRootRegistrationpublicbooleanfalseTo encourage accessibility best practices, `form-element-register` events do not pierce through shadow roots. This forces the developer to create form groups and fieldsets that automatically allow the creation of accessible relationships in the same dom tree. Use this option if you know what you're doing. It will then be possible to nest FormControls inside shadow dom. See https://lion.js.org/fundamentals/rationales/accessibility/#shadow-roots-and-accessibilityLionField

_allValidatorsprotectedValidator[]Combination of validators provided by Application Developer and the default validatorsLionField
hasFeedbackForpublicValidationType[][]As soon as validation happens (after modelValue/validators/validator param change), this array is updated with the active ValidationTypes ('error'|'warning'|'success'|'info' etc.). Notice the difference with `.showsFeedbackFor`, which filters `.hasFeedbackFor` based on `.feedbackCondition()`. For styling purposes, will be reflected to [has-feedback-for="error warning"]. This can be useful for subtle visual feedback on keyup, like a red/green border around an input.LionField
showsFeedbackForpublicValidationType[][]Based on outcome of feedbackCondition, this array decides what ValidationTypes should be shown in validationFeedback, based on meta data like interaction states. For styling purposes, it reflects it `[shows-feedback-for="error warning"]`LionField
validationStatespublicValidationStates{}The outcome of a validation 'round'. Keyed by ValidationType and Validator nameLionField
isPendingpublicbooleanfalseFlag indicating whether async validation is pending. Creates attribute [is-pending] as a styling hookLionField
validatorspublicValidator[][]Used by Application Developers to add Validators to a FormControl.LionField
defaultValidatorspublicValidator[][]Used by Subclassers to add default Validators to a particular FormControl. A date input for instance, always needs the isDate validator.LionField

Methods

NamePrivacyDescriptionParametersReturnInherited From
_setValueAndPreserveCaretprotectedRestores the cursor to its original position after updating the value.newValue: stringNativeTextFieldMixin
_reflectBackFormattedValueToUserprotectedNote: Overrides the implementation from FormatMixinLionField
preprocessorpublicPreprocessors could be considered 'live formatters'. Their result is shown to the user on keyup instead of after blurring the field. The biggest difference between preprocessors and formatters is their moment of execution: preprocessors are run before modelValue is computed (and work based on view value), whereas formatters are run after the parser (and are based on modelValue) Automatically formats code while typing. It depends on a preprocessro that smartly updates the viewValue and caret position for best UX.v: string, opts: FormatOptions & { prevViewValue: string; currentCaretIndex: number }{ viewValue:string; caretIndex:number; }|string|undefinedLionField
parserpublicConverts viewValue to modelValue For instance, a localized date to a Date Objectv: string, opts: FormatOptions*LionField

deserializerpublicConverts `.serializedValue` to `.modelValue` For instance, an iso formatted date string to a Date objectv: ??LionField
_calculateValuesprotectedResponsible for storing all representations(modelValue, serializedValue, formattedValue and value) of the input value. Prevents infinite loops, so all value observers can be treated like they will only be called once, without indirectly calling other observers. (in fact, some are called twice, but the __preventRecursiveTrigger lock prevents the second call from having effect).{ source }, config: {source:'model'|'serialized'|'formatted'|null}LionField
_onModelValueChangedprotectedResponds to modelValue changes in the synchronous cycle (most subclassers should listen to the asynchronous cycle ('modelValue' in the .updated lifecycle))args: { modelValue: unknown; }[]LionField
_dispatchModelValueChangedEventprotectedThis is wrapped in a distinct method, so that parents can control when the changed event is fired. For objects, a deep comparison might be needed.args: { modelValue: unknown; }[]LionField
_syncValueUpwardsprotectedSynchronization from `._inputNode.value` to `LionField` (flow [2]) Downwards syncing should only happen for `LionField`.value changes from 'above'. This triggers _onModelValueChanged and connects user input to the parsing/formatting/serializing loop.LionField
_reflectBackOnprotectedEvery time .formattedValue is attempted to sync to the view value (on change/blur and on modelValue change), this condition is checked. When enhancing it, it's recommended to call via `return this._myExtraCondition && super._reflectBackOn()`booleanLionField
_proxyInputEventprotectedThis can be called whenever the view value should be updated. Dependent on component type ("input" for <input> or "change" for <select>(mainly for IE)) a different event should be used as source for the "user-input-changed" event (which can be seen as an abstraction layer on top of other events (input, change, whatever))LionField

When the Required Validator (being mutually exclusive to the other Validators) is applied, it will end up in the validation result (as the only Validator, since further execution was halted). - a2) there are synchronous Validators: this is the most common flow. When modelValue hasn't changed since last async results were generated, 'sync results' are merged with the 'async results'. - a3) there are asynchronous Validators: for instance when server side evaluation is needed. Executions are scheduled and awaited and the 'async results' are merged with the 'sync results'. - b) there are MetaValidators. After steps a1, a2, or a3 are finished, the holistic MetaValidators (evaluating the total result of the 'regular' (a1, a2 and a3) validators) will be run... Situations a2 and a3 are not mutually exclusive and can be triggered within one `validate()` call.
