# Input
A styled text input with optional label and description. Supports all standard HTML input types and HTMX attributes.
A styled single-line text field with an optional label and hint text below it. The workhorse of any form — use it for names, emails, passwords, search queries, or any other short text value.
---
## HTML structure
## Quick example
```
div.flex.flex-col.gap-1.5
label[for={id}].text-sm.font-medium ← omitted when label is empty
{label text}
input[type, id, name, placeholder, class, $$HxAttrs$$]
p.text-sm.text-muted-foreground ← omitted when description is empty
{description text}
```csharp
new Input(
id: "email",
name: "email",
inputType: "email",
placeholder: "you@example.com",
label: "Email address")
```

## CSS mechanics
| Class | Effect |
|---|---|
| `flex h-10 w-full rounded-md border border-input bg-background` | Full-width 40px height field with border |
| `px-3 py-2 text-sm` | Inner padding and text size |
| `ring-offset-background` | Focus ring offset matches the page background |
| `focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring focus-visible:ring-offset-2` | Keyboard-visible focus ring |
| `disabled:cursor-not-allowed disabled:opacity-50` | Disabled state |
| `placeholder:text-muted-foreground` | Placeholder inherits muted color |

| Parameter | Description |
| Parameter | What it does |
|---|---|
| `id` | Element id and label `for` target |
| `name` | Form field name |
| `inputType` | HTML type attribute: `text` / `email` / `password` / `number` / `search` / `tel` / `url` / `date` / `time` |
| `placeholder` | Placeholder text |
| `label` | Visible label above the field |
| `description` | Helper text below the field |
| `extraClasses` | Additional Tailwind classes on the input |
| `hxAttrs` | Verbatim HTMX / data attributes appended to the input |
| `id` | Element id. Also used by the `<label for="...">` so clicking the label focuses the input. |
| `name` | Form field name — required if you want the value submitted with the form. |
| `inputType` | HTML type: `text`, `email`, `password`, `number`, `search`, `tel`, `url`, `date`, `time`. |
| `placeholder` | Greyed-out hint inside the field before the user types. |
| `label` | Visible text label above the field. |
| `description` | Small hint text below the field (e.g. "At least 8 characters"). |
| `extraClasses` | Additional Tailwind classes on the `<input>` element. |
| `hxAttrs` | Extra HTML attributes appended verbatim. Use for HTMX, `min`/`max`, `autocomplete`, etc. |

```
## How it works
### Reading in a form handler
```csharp
public record Command(
[property: FromForm] string Email,
[property: FromForm] string Password
Input renders a `<div>` wrapper containing an optional `<label>`, the `<input>`, and an optional description `<p>`. The label and description elements are omitted entirely from the HTML when not provided. The `hxAttrs` string is appended verbatim inside the `<input>` tag, so any valid HTML attribute can be passed through it.
