Text Field.
Room for a thought to take shape.
TextField is the styled input; Field owns label, description and validation relationships. Native editing, autocomplete, refs and value callbacks remain with Base UI. Use Field.Control for the lower-level input contract.

Composition
AnatomyTextField is the styled input; Field owns label, description and validation relationships. Native editing, autocomplete, refs and value callbacks remain with Base UI. Use Field.Control for the lower-level input contract.
Field.Root (invalid, disabled)
├── Field.Label
├── TextField (size, variant, radius, material)
├── Field.Description
└── Field.ErrorA place to start
UsageImport the stylesheet once at your application root. This complete example reflects the properties selected above.

Visual treatments
Emphasis changes presentation while the primitive keeps behavior.

Corner radii
Contextual rounding applies to the control or surface; large panels stay readable.

Materials
Optional static finishes use the same public component. Import materials.css in your application.

The finer details
API referenceGenerated from Dixy’s local TypeScript interfaces. Native and Base UI Input props are forwarded; this table covers the options Dixy adds.
TextField
| Prop | Type / description | Default |
|---|---|---|
size | "sm" | "md" | "lg"The height and type size of the control. | md |
variant | "soft" | "outline"The visual surface treatment. | outline |
radius | "none" | "sm" | "md" | "lg" | "full"Input rounding. | Theme.radius |
material | "matte" | "glossy" | "soft" | "metal" | "paper"Optional static finish; import materials.css. | Theme.material |
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-input-border | 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
AccessibilityA placeholder is not a label. Field.Label and Field.Description establish accessible relationships. Invalid fields should explain how to recover through Field.Error. Keep native autocomplete and form semantics.
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.
Field and Input share Base UI context. The label and description are linked without hand-written IDs. Controlled values need a matching onValueChange callback. 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.
