Form.
A complete path from input to feedback.
Form remains a native form and keeps Base UI validation. Field names connect server errors to controls. gap changes spacing only; it does not replace submit handling or error recovery.

Composition
AnatomyForm remains a native form and keeps Base UI validation. Field names connect server errors to controls. gap changes spacing only; it does not replace submit handling or error recovery.
Form (onSubmit, errors)
├── Field.Root → label + control + help/error
└── Button type=submitA place to start
UsageImport the stylesheet once at your application root. This complete example reflects the properties selected above.

The finer details
API referenceGenerated from Dixy’s local TypeScript interfaces. Native and Base UI Form props are forwarded; this table covers the options Dixy adds.
Form
| Prop | Type / description | Default |
|---|---|---|
gap | "sm" | "md" | "lg"Space between fields without changing validation. | md |
Built from the same foundations
Styling tokensChange Theme settings above to compare appearance, accent, neutral, radius, spacing density, motion and direction. Override component aliases on a Theme root so custom properties follow portaled content too. The wrapper merges className, style, refs and render composition with its owning primitive.
| Token | Purpose |
|---|---|
--dixy-primitive-gap | The component-specific starting point. |
--dixy-font-label-md | Control label font and line height; body roles remain readable in text inputs. |
--dixy-color-background-selected | Selected surfaces use semantic color across appearances. |
--dixy-color-border-focus | Focus indication remains visible independently of shadows. |
--dixy-spacing-inset-sm | Density-aware component padding. |
--dixy-motion-transition-feedback | Short state feedback, reduced by the inherited motion setting. |
Consider everyone
AccessibilityForm coordinates validation and submission. Native required, name and submit semantics remain valuable. Provide meaningful names and verify the complete interaction with a keyboard. Color alone must not communicate state.
Target: WCAG 2.2 AA. Automated tests cover selected behavior; manual screen-reader, contrast, and zoom validation remain part of the release checklist.
Build it. Then understand it.
Form coordinates validation and submission. Native required, name and submit semantics remain valuable. Component aliases reference Dixy semantic tokens; refs, events and render composition are forwarded unchanged. Visual settings follow Dixy shirt sizes, contextual radii and semantic tokens where applicable. Static finishes are optional, and reduced motion is immediate. Base UI keeps refs, state, events, keyboard and presence; this implementation pass does not establish WCAG conformance.
