Anatomy

The Field family is designed for composing accessible forms. A typical field is structured as follows:

vue
<template>
  <Field>
    <FieldLabel for="input-id">Label</FieldLabel>
    <!-- Input, Select, Switch, etc. -->
    <FieldDescription>Optional helper text.</FieldDescription>
    <FieldError>Validation message.</FieldError>
  </Field>
</template>
  • Field is the core wrapper for a single field.
  • FieldContent is a flex column that groups label and description. Not required if you have no description.
  • Wrap related fields with FieldGroup, and use FieldSet with FieldLegend for semantic grouping.

Responsive Layout

If you are in tailwindcss v3 you need to install @tailwindcss/container-queries

  • Vertical fields: Default orientation stacks label, control, and helper text—ideal for mobile-first layouts.
  • Horizontal fields: Set orientation="horizontal" on Field to align the label and control side-by-side. Pair with FieldContent to keep descriptions aligned.
  • Responsive fields: Set orientation="responsive" for automatic column layouts inside container-aware parents. Apply @container/field-group classes on FieldGroup to switch orientations at specific breakpoints.
Profile

Fill in your profile information.

Provide your full name for identification

You can write your message here. Keep it short, preferably under 100 characters.

Validation and Errors

  • Add data-invalid to Field to switch the entire block into an error state.
  • Add aria-invalid on the input itself for assistive technologies.
  • Render FieldError immediately after the control or inside FieldContent to keep error messages aligned with the field.
vue
<template>
  <Field data-invalid>
    <FieldLabel for="email">Email</FieldLabel>
    <Input id="email" type="email" aria-invalid />
    <FieldError>Enter a valid email address.</FieldError>
  </Field>
<template>

Accessibility

  • FieldSet and FieldLegend keep related controls grouped for keyboard and assistive tech users.
  • Field outputs role="group" so nested controls inherit labeling from FieldLabel and FieldLegend when combined.
  • Apply FieldSeparator sparingly to ensure screen readers encounter clear section boundaries.

API Reference

FieldSet

Container that renders a semantic fieldset with spacing presets.

PropTypeDefault
classstring
vue
<template>
  <FieldSet>
    <FieldLegend>Delivery</FieldLegend>
    <FieldGroup>
        <!-- Fields -->
    </FieldGroup>
  </FieldSet>
</template>

FieldLegend

Legend element for a FieldSet. Switch to the label variant to align with label sizing.

PropTypeDefault
variant"legend" | "label""legend"
classstring
vue
<FieldLegend variant="label">Notification Preferences</FieldLegend>

The FieldLegend has two variants: legend and label. The label variant applies label sizing and alignment. Handy if you have nested FieldSet.

FieldGroup

Layout wrapper that stacks Field components and enables container queries for responsive orientations.

PropTypeDefault
classstring
vue
<template>
  <FieldGroup class="@container/field-group flex flex-col gap-6">
    <Field><!-- Fields --></Field>
    <Field><!-- Fields --></Field>
  </FieldGroup>
</template>

Field

The core wrapper for a single field. Provides orientation control, invalid state styling, and spacing.

PropTypeDefault
orientation"vertical" | "horizontal" | "responsive""vertical"
classstring
data-invalidboolean
vue
<Field orientation="horizontal">
  <FieldLabel for="remember">Remember me</FieldLabel>
  <Switch id="remember" />
</Field>

FieldContent

Flex column that groups control and descriptions when the label sits beside the control. Not required if you have no description.

PropTypeDefault
classstring
vue
<Field>
  <Checkbox id="notifications" />
  <FieldContent>
    <FieldLabel for="notifications">Notifications</FieldLabel>
    <FieldDescription>Email, SMS, and push options.</FieldDescription>
  </FieldContent>
</Field>

FieldLabel

Label styled for both direct inputs and nested Field children.

PropTypeDefault
classstring
asChildbooleanfalse
vue
<FieldLabel for="email">Email</FieldLabel>

FieldTitle

Renders a title with label styling inside FieldContent.

PropTypeDefault
classstring
vue
<FieldContent>
  <FieldTitle>Enable Touch ID</FieldTitle>
  <FieldDescription>Unlock your device faster.</FieldDescription>
</FieldContent>

FieldDescription

Helper text slot that automatically balances long lines in horizontal layouts.

PropTypeDefault
classstring
vue
<FieldDescription>We never share your email with anyone.</FieldDescription>

FieldSeparator

Visual divider to separate sections inside a FieldGroup. Accepts optional inline content.

PropTypeDefault
classstring
vue
<FieldSeparator>Or continue with</FieldSeparator>

FieldError

Accessible error container that accepts children or an errors array (e.g., from vee-validate).

PropTypeDefault
errorsArray<{ message?: string } | undefined>
classstring
vue
<FieldError :errors="errors.username" />

When the errors array contains multiple messages, the component renders a list automatically.

FieldError also accepts issues produced by any validator that implements Standard Schema, including Zod, Valibot, and ArkType. Pass the issues array from the schema result directly to render a unified error list across libraries.
