Events#

The pearson-input component emits one event:

EventDescription
inputWill fire when a value is entered into the input.
const input = document.querySelector('pearson-input);input.addEventListener('input', event => {});

Additional Attributes#

If you want to change an attribute, or listen for an event coming from the encapsulated input you can use javascript to access the components shadow dom.

const input = document.querySelector('pearson-input'),shadowInput = input.shadowRoot.querySelector('input');
// you can now add attributes or listen for events on the shadowInput.

HTML Markup#

Do you prefer to use HTML instead of a web component? No problem, use the markup below along with CSS.

Forms can be tricky, so here is some guidance around how to implement accessibility successfully.
<div class="gr-form-element">    <label class="gr-label" for="basicInput">Basic input label</label>    <input class="gr-input" id="basicInput" type="text"/>    <div class="error-state">        <svg focusable="false" class="icon-18" aria-hidden="true">            <use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#warning-18"></use>        </svg>        <span class="gr-meta">Warning Text</span>    </div></div>
