Input (High Level API for TextField)

The input component is an input field that users can type into.

Basic Example

rx.input()

Setting Defaults

Can set defaults for a placeholder for text to show in the input box before any text is input into it.

Can limit the max_length allowed as input into the input box.

rx.input(placeholder="Search here...", max_length="20")

Using Event Handlers

The on_blur event handler is called when focus has left the input for example, it’s called when the user clicks outside of a focused text input.

class TextfieldBlur(rx.State):
    text: str = "Hello World!"


def blur_example():
    return rx.vstack(
        rx.heading(TextfieldBlur.text),
        rx.input(
            placeholder="Search here...", 
            on_blur=TextfieldBlur.set_text,
        ),
    )

The on_change event handler is called when the value of input has changed.

class TextfieldControlled(rx.State):
    text: str = "Hello World!"


def controlled_example():
    return rx.vstack(
        rx.heading(TextfieldControlled.text),
        rx.input(
            placeholder="Search here...", 
            value=TextfieldControlled.text,
            on_change=TextfieldControlled.set_text,
        ),
    )

Behind the scene, the input component is implemented using debounced input to avoid sending individual state updates per character to the backend while the user is still typing. This allows a state var to directly control the value prop from the backend without the user experiencing input lag. For advanced use cases, you can tune the debounce delay by setting the debounce_timeout when creating the Input component. You can find examples of how it is used in the DebouncedInput component.

Submitting a form using input

The name prop is needed to submit with its owning form as part of a name/value pair.

When the required prop is True, it indicates that the user must input text before the owning form can be submitted.

The type is set here to password. The element is presented as a one-line plain text editor control in which the text is obscured so that it cannot be read. The type prop can take any value of email, file, password, text and several others. Learn more here.

class FormInputState(rx.State):
    form_data: dict = {}

    def handle_submit(self, form_data: dict):
        """Handle the form submit."""
        self.form_data = form_data


def form_input1():
    return rx.vstack(
        rx.form.root(
            rx.vstack(
                rx.input(name="input", default_value="search", placeholder="Input text here...", type="password", required=True),
                rx.button("Submit", type="submit"),
                width="100%",
            ),
            on_submit=FormInputState.handle_submit,
            reset_on_submit=True,
            width="100%",
        ),
        rx.divider(width="100%"),
        rx.heading("Results"),
        rx.text(FormInputState.form_data.to_string()),
        width="100%",
    )
