Name Description Reflects Type Default
accesskey Accesskey provides a hint for generating a keyboard shortcut for the current element. The attribute value must consist of a single printable character. string -
align Used by Et2Box to determine alignment. Allowed values are left, right string -
autocapitalize Controls whether and how text input is automatically capitalized as it is entered by the user. 'off' | 'none' | 'on' | 'sentences' | 'words' | 'characters' -
autocomplete Specifies what permission the browser has to provide assistance in filling out form field values. Refer to this page on MDN for available values. string -
autocorrect Indicates whether the browser’s autocorrect feature is on or off. 'off' | 'on' -
autofocus Have browser focus this input on load. Overrides etemplate2.focusOnFirstInput(), use only once per page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#attributes boolean -
class CSS Class. This class is applied to the outside, on the web component itself. Due to how WebComponents work, this might not change anything inside the component. string -
clearable Adds a clear button when the input is not empty. boolean false
data Set the dataset from a CSV string -
defaultValue
The default value of the form control. Primarily used for resetting the form control. string ''
deferredProperties
Any attribute that refers to row content cannot be resolved immediately, but some like booleans cannot stay a string because it’s a boolean attribute. We store them for later, and parse when they’re fully in their row. If you are creating a widget that can go in a nextmatch row, and it has boolean attributes that can change for each row, add those attributes into deferredProperties - -
disabled Defines whether this widget is visibly disabled. The widget is still visible, but clearly cannot be interacted with. Widgets disabled in the template will not return a value to the application code, even if re-enabled via javascript before submitting. To allow a disabled widget to be re-enabled and return a value, disable via javascript in the app’s et2_ready() instead of an attribute in the template file. boolean false
dom_id
Get the actual DOM ID, which has been prefixed to make sure it’s unique. string -
enterkeyhint Used to customize the label or icon of the Enter key on virtual keyboards. 'enter' | 'done' | 'go' | 'next' | 'previous' | 'search' | 'send' -
filled Draws a filled input. boolean false
form By default, form controls are associated with the nearest containing <form> element. This attribute allows you to place the form control outside of a form and associate it with the form that has this id. The form must be in the same document or shadow root for this to work. string ''
hasFeedbackFor
Get a list of feedback types string[] -
helpText The input’s help text. If you need to display HTML, use the help-text slot instead. string ''
hidden The widget is not visible. As far as the user is concerned, the widget does not exist. Widgets hidden with an attribute in the template may not be created in the DOM, and will not return a value. Widgets can be hidden after creation, and they may return a value if hidden this way. boolean -
id
Get the ID of the widget string -
inputmode Tells the browser what type of data will be entered by the user, allowing it to display the appropriate virtual keyboard on supportive devices. 'none' | 'text' | 'decimal' | 'numeric' | 'tel' | 'search' | 'email' | 'url' -
label The label of the widget Legacy support for labels with %s that get wrapped around the widget Not the best way go with webComponents - shouldn’t modify their DOM like this string -
mask Mask the input to enforce format. The mask is enforced as the user types, preventing invalid input. - -
maskOptions
Get the options for masking. Can be overridden by subclass for additional options. - -
max The input’s maximum value. Only applies to date and number input types. number | string -
maxlength The maximum length of input that will be considered valid. number -

readonly Makes the input readonly. boolean false
required Makes the input a required field. boolean false
size The input’s size. 'small' | 'medium' | 'large' 'medium'
spellcheck Enables spell checking on the input. boolean true
statustext Tooltip which is shown for this element on hover string -
step Specifies the granularity that the value must adhere to, or the special value any which means no stepping is implied, allowing any numeric value. Only applies to date and number input types. number | 'any' -
styles
WebComponent * - -
translate
List of properties that get translated Done separately to not interfere with properties - if we re-define label property, labels go missing. - -
type The type of input. Works the same as a native <input> element, but only a subset of types are supported. Defaults to text. | 'date' | 'datetime-local' | 'email' | 'number' | 'password' | 'search' | 'tel' | 'text' | 'time' | 'url' 'text'
validationMessage
Gets the validation message - -
validity
Gets the validity state object - -
value The current value of the input, submitted as a name/value pair with form data. string ''
valueAsDate
Gets or sets the current value as a Date object. Returns null if the value can’t be converted. This will use the native <input type="{{type}}"> implementation and may result in an error. - -
valueAsNumber
Gets or sets the current value as a number. Returns NaN if the value can’t be converted. - -

Methods

Name Description Arguments
blur() Removes focus from the input. -
checkCreateNamespace() Checks whether a namespace exists for this element in the content array. If yes, an own perspective of the content array is created. If not, the parent content manager is used. Constructor attributes are passed in case a child needs to make decisions -
checkValidity() Checks for validity but does not show a validation message. Returns true when valid and false when invalid. -
clone() Creates a copy of this widget. _parent: et2_widget
createElementFromNode() Create a et2_widget from an XML node. First the type and attributes are read from the node. Then the readonly & modifications arrays are checked for changes specific to the loaded data. Then the appropriate constructor is called. After the constructor returns, the widget has a chance to further initialize itself from the XML node when the widget’s loadFromXML() method is called with the node. _node: , _name:
et2HandleBlur() If the value is unchanged, put any held validation messages back Named et2HandleBlur to avoid overwriting handleBlur() in Shoelace components _ev: FocusEvent
et2HandleFocus() When input receives focus, clear any validation errors. If the value is the same on blur, we’ll put them back The ones from the server (ManualMessage) can interfere with submitting. Named et2HandleFocus to avoid overwriting handleFocus() in Shoelace components _ev: FocusEvent
focus() Sets focus on the input. options: FocusOptions
getArrayMgr() Returns the array manager object for the given part managed_array_type: string
getArrayMgrs() Returns an associative array containing the top-most array managers. _mgrs: object
getChildren() Get child widgets Use .children to get web component children -
getForm() Gets the associated form, if one exists. -
getInputNode() Get input to e.g. set aria-attributes -
getInstanceManager() Returns the instance manager -
getPath() Returns the path into the data array. By default, array manager takes care of this, but some extensions need to override this -
getRoot() Returns the base widget Usually this is the same as getInstanceManager().widgetContainer -
isValid() Used by etemplate2 to determine if we can submit or not messages:
loadFromXML() Loads the widget tree from an XML node _node:
loadingFinished() Needed for legacy compatability. promises: Promise[]
parseXMLAttrs() The parseXMLAttrs function takes an XML DOM attributes object and adds the given attributes to the _target associative array. This function also parses the legacyOptions. N.B. This is only used for legacy widgets. WebComponents use transformAttributes() and do their own handling of attributes. _attrsObj: , _target: object, _proto: et2_widget
reportValidity() Checks for validity and shows the browser’s validation message if the control is invalid. -
select() Selects all the text in the input. -
set_label() NOT the setter, since we cannot add to the DOM before connectedCallback() TODO: This is not best practice. Should just set property, DOM modification should be done in render https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/guide/templates#design-a-performant-template value: string
setArrayMgr() Sets the array manager for the given part _part: string, _mgr: object
setArrayMgrs() Sets all array manager objects - this function can be used to set the root array managers of the container object. _mgrs: object
setCustomValidity() Sets a custom validation message. Pass an empty string to restore validity. message: string
setInstanceManager() Set the instance manager Normally this is not needed as it’s set on the top-level container, and we just return that reference manager: etemplate2
setRangeText() Replaces a range of text with a new string. replacement: string, start: number, end: number, selectMode: 'select' | 'start' | 'end' | 'preserve'
setSelectionRange() Sets the start and end positions of the text selection (0-based). selectionStart: number, selectionEnd: number, selectionDirection: 'forward' | 'backward' | 'none'
showPicker() Displays the browser picker for an input element (only works if the browser supports it for the input type). -
stepDown() Decrements the value of a numeric input type by the value of the step attribute. -
stepUp() Increments the value of a numeric input type by the value of the step attribute. -
submit() Called whenever the template gets submitted. We return false if the widget is not valid, which cancels the submission. _values:
validate() Massively simplified validate, as compared to what ValidatorMixin gives us, since ValidatorMixin extends FormControlMixin which breaks SlSelect’s render() We take all validators for the widget, and if there’s a value (or field is required) we check the value with each validator. For array values we check each element with each validator. If the value does not pass the validator, we collect the message and display feedback to the user. We handle validation errors from the server with ManualMessages, which always “fail”. If the value is empty, we only validate if the field is required. skipManual:
_handleClick() Click handler calling custom handler set via onclick attribute to this.onclick _ev: MouseEvent
_labelTemplate() Common sub-template to add a label. This goes inside the form control wrapper div, before and at the same depth as the input controls. -
_oldChange() Change handler calling custom handler set via onchange attribute _ev: Event
_set_label() Do some fancy stuff on the label, splitting it up if there’s a %s in it Normally called from updated(), the “normal” setter stuff has already been run before this is called. We only override our special cases (%s) because the normal label has been set by the parent value: string
_setAriaAttributes() Set aria-attributes on our input node -
destroy() et2_widget compatability
true
-
set_class() Set the widget class
Use this.class or this.classList instead
new_class: string
set_disabled() Wrapper on this.disabled because legacy had it.
Use widget.disabled for visually disabled, widget.hidden for visually hidden. Widgets that are hidden from the server via attribute or $readonlys will not be created. Widgets that are disabled from the server will not return a value to the application code.
value: boolean
set_statustext() supports legacy set_statustext
use this.statustext
value: string
