## Examples

### Basic

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-basic"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### Field

Use `Field`, `FieldLabel`, and `FieldDescription` to create an input with a
label and description.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-field"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### Field Group

Use `FieldGroup` to show multiple `Field` blocks and to build forms.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-fieldgroup"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### Disabled

Use the `disabled` prop to disable the input. To style the disabled state, add the `data-disabled` attribute to the `Field` component.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-disabled"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### Invalid

Use the `aria-invalid` prop to mark the input as invalid. To style the invalid state, add the `data-invalid` attribute to the `Field` component.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-invalid"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### File

Use the `type="file"` prop to create a file input.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-file"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### Inline

Use `Field` with `orientation="horizontal"` to create an inline input.
Pair with `Button` to create a search input with a button.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-inline"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### Grid

Use a grid layout to place multiple inputs side by side.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-grid"
  previewClassName="p-6"
/>

### Required

Use the `required` attribute to indicate required inputs.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-required"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### Badge

Use `Badge` in the label to highlight a recommended field.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-badge"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### Input Group

To add icons, text, or buttons inside an input, use the `InputGroup` component. See the [Input Group](/docs/components/input-group) component for more examples.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-input-group"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>

### Button Group

To add buttons to an input, use the `ButtonGroup` component. See the [Button Group](/docs/components/button-group) component for more examples.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-button-group"
  previewClassName="*:max-w-xs"
/>
