autocomplete

The autocomplete input controls whether the browser should attempt to autocomplete the input field. You can use values such as “on“, “off“, or any valid HTML autocomplete attribute value (e.g., ”email”, “name”, etc.)


                                                        
                                                        
                                                            <!-- Input field will not autocomplete -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui autocomplete="off" placeholder="Transaction ID">
                                                            
                                                        <!-- Input will autocomplete names -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui autocomplete="name" placeholder="Full Name">
                                                        
                                                        <!-- Input will to autocomplete emails -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui autocomplete="email" placeholder="Email Address">
                                                        
                                                            

 

autofocus

The autofocus input sets whether the text input should be auto-focused when shown.


                                                        
                                                        
                                                            <!-- Input that auto-focuses on load -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui [autofocus]="true"></bb-input-text-ui>

                                                            <!-- Disabled input field -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui
                                                            [label]="Disabled input"
                                                            [disabled]="true"
                                                        ></bb-input-text-ui>

                                                            <!-- Input with custom ID -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui id="custom-input-id"></bb-input-text-ui>
                                                        
                                                            

 

inputClassName

The inputClassName input sets additional CSS class names for the input form control.


                                                        
                                                        
                                                            <!-- Input with custom CSS class -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui inputClassName="custom-input-class"></bb-input-text-ui>
                                                        
                                                            

 

inputMode

The inputMode input sets the HTML inputmode attribute, which controls the type of virtual keyboard shown on mobile devices (e.g., "text", "numeric", "decimal", "email", "tel", "url").


                                                        
                                                        
                                                            <!-- Input optimized for numeric entry -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui inputMode="numeric"></bb-input-text-ui>

                                                            <!-- Input with label -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui [label]="A custom label"></bb-input-text-ui>
                                                        
                                                            

 

mask

The mask input applies ngx-mask related formatting; default value implies no mask is used. It sets a mask to control the format of user input, ensuring that data is entered in a specific structure (e.g., phone numbers, dates, or credit card numbers). If it is set, it automatically inserts placeholders or restricts input to valid characters.

Examples

  • A phone number mask: (999) 999-9999
  • A date mask: MM/DD/YYYY

                                                        
                                                        
                                                            <!-- A masked input field  -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui
                                                            [mask]="0{5}"
                                                            [label]="Masked Input Text"
                                                            [placeholder]="Enter a 5-digit number"
                                                            (valueChange)="onValueChange($event)"
                                                            (blur)="onBlur($event)"
                                                            (focus)="onFocus($event)"
                                                        ></bb-input-text-ui>
                                                        
                                                            

 

maskValidator

The maskValidator input is ngx-mask related. You can use this property to disable the default mask pattern validation.


                                                        
                                                        
                                                            <!-- Input with mask validation disabled -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui mask="0{5}" [maskValidator]="false"></bb-input-text-ui>

                                                            <!-- Input with maximum length of 50 characters -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui [maxLength]="50"></bb-input-text-ui>

                                                            <!-- Input requiring at least 8 characters -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui [minLength]="8"></bb-input-text-ui>

                                                            <!-- Read-only input field -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui

                                                        <bb-input-text-ui [required]="true"></bb-input-text-ui>

                                                            <!-- Input with character counter -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui [maxLength]="100" [showCharCounter]="true"></bb-input-text-ui>
                                                        
                                                            

 

size

The size input configures the minimum width to fit the specified number of characters.


                                                        
                                                        
                                                            <!-- Input with character counter -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui [maxLength]="100" [showCharCounter]="true"></bb-input-text-ui>
                                                        
                                                            

 

CSS classes

The following CSS classes can be used to further style your input based on its state or user interaction. Some classes may be applied automatically by Angular or the component and can be leveraged to provide custom visual feedback.

 

Error

The .ng-invalid class is applied when the input field fails validation. This typically results in red outlines or other visual indicators to signal an error state.


                                                        
                                                        
                                                            <!-- Input field with validation error styling -->
                                                        <bb-input-text-ui
                                                            label="With Error"
                                                            placeholder="Enter text"
                                                            class="ng-touched ng-invalid">
                                                        </bb-input-text-ui>
