InputEmail

The input type Email creates an input field for emails.

Construction

Code

<kol-input-email _label="E-Mail-Adresse" _icons='{"right": "codicon codicon-mail"}'></kol-input-email>

Example

Events

For the handling of events or callbacks, see .

Event	trigger	Value
click	Input field is clicked	-
focus	Input field is focused	-
blur	Input field loses focus	-
input	Value is changed by entering	Current value of the input field
change	Entry has been completed	Current value of the input field

Usage

Use the InputEmail component on forms that require the entry of one or more email addresses.

By default, the component is designed to capture a single email address. Set the _multiple attribute to capture multiple email addresses. Separate each email address with a comma (,).

Best practices

• Make sure to set id and name correctly so that the data is sent when you submit the form.

Accessibility

There is no validation of the recorded email addresses within the component. To indicate failed validation, use the _msg and _touched attributes.

Keyboard controls

Character limit and character counter

With the three attributes _max-length, _max-length-behavior and _has-counter, the input length can be flexibly limited and at the same time provide visual feedback.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Default	Description
_has-counter	boolean	false	Global switch for the character counter. Only if this attribute is set (= true) will a counter be output.
_max-length	number	—	Maximum number of characters allowed. Effective only if _has-counter is active.
_max-length-behavior	"hard" | "soft"	"hard"	Specifies how the limit is handled if _max-length is set: - hard: Additionally sets the native maxlength attribute and prevents further input. - soft: Allows further input; the counter shows remaining or exceeded characters.

Output variants

case	_has-counter	_max-length	_max-length-behavior	Visible text
1	(empty) or false	—	—	— (no counter)
2	true	(empty)	—	n character
3	true	5	(empty) or hard	n/5 characters
4	true	5	soft	3 characters still available (or 3 characters too many)

If _max-length-behavior="soft" is used, the native maxlength attribute is not set - so the input field is not hard-limited.

Accessibility

• The counter updates with a 500ms delay so that screen reader events are concentrated and do not interrupt typing.
• For screen readers, a hidden text that is only visible to assistive technologies is also displayed, such as: “You can enter up to 10 characters.”

Examples

<!-- Nur Zähler -->
<kol-input-email _label="E-Mail-Adresse" _has-counter></kol-input-email>

<!-- Harte Begrenzung auf 5 Zeichen -->
<kol-input-email _label="E-Mail-Adresse" _has-counter _max-length="5"></kol-input-email>

<!-- Weiche Begrenzung auf 5 Zeichen -->
<kol-input-email
 _label="E-Mail-Adresse"
 _has-counter
 _max-length="5"
 _max-length-behavior="soft">
</kol-input-email>

Summary

• Without _has-counter there is never a counter.
• With _has-counter and without _max-length only the currently entered number of characters is displayed.
• With _has-counter and _max-length, _max-length-behavior determines whether the limit is implemented hard (hard) or softly (soft).
