Form

Form consists of input, radio, select, checkbox and so on. With form, you can collect, verify and submit data.

TIP

The component has been upgraded with a flex layout to replace the old float layout.

Basic Form

It includes all kinds of input items, such as input, select, radio and checkbox.

In each form component, you need a form-item field to be the container of your input item.

TIP

W3C regulates that

When there is only one single-line text input field in a form, the user agent should accept Enter in that field as a request to submit the form.

To prevent this behavior, you can add @submit.prevent on <el-form>.

Inline Form

When the vertical space is limited and the form is relatively simple, you can put it in one line.

Set the inline attribute to true and the form will be inline.

Alignment

Depending on your design, there are several different ways to align your label element.

You can set label-position of el-form-item separately 2.7.7. If the value is empty, the label-position of el-form is used.

The label-position attribute decides how labels align, it can be top or left. When set to top, labels will be placed at the top of the form field.

Validation

Form component allows you to verify your data, helping you find and correct errors.

Just add the rules attribute for Form component, pass validation rules, and set prop attribute for FormItem as a specific key that needs to be validated. See more information at async-validator.

Custom Validation Rules

This example shows how to customize your own validation rules to finish a two-factor password verification.

Here we use status-icon to reflect validation result as an icon.

TIP

Custom validate callback function must be called. See more advanced usage at async-validator.

Add/Delete Form Item

In addition to passing all validation rules at once on the form component, you can also pass the validation rules or delete rules on a single form field dynamically.

Number Validate

Number Validate need a .number modifier added on the input v-model binding,it's used to transform the string value to the number which is provided by Vue.

age

TIP

When an el-form-item is nested in another el-form-item, its label width will be 0. You can set label-width on that el-form-item if needed.

Size Control

All components in a Form inherit their size attribute from that Form. Similarly, FormItem also has a size attribute.

Still you can fine tune each component's size if you don't want that component to inherit its size from From or FormItem.

Accessibility

When only a single input (or related control such as select or checkbox) is inside of a el-form-item, the form item's label will automatically be attached to that input. However, if multiple inputs are inside of the el-form-item, the form item will be assigned the WAI-ARIA role of group instead. In this case, it is your responsibility to assign assistive labels to the individual inputs.
