Troubleshooting
Check behavior before surface.
- If the material is missing, confirm the registry-installed shared and component CSS files are imported once.
- If interaction differs, preserve this contract: Native input editing and selection.
- If assistive output differs, preserve this semantic foundation: Visible label and generated described-by/error relationships.
- If dark, RTL, or reduced-motion behavior is missing, verify the nearest theme, direction, and media-query boundaries rather than adding page-local overrides.
Implementation decisions
When to use Input
Use a text field when someone can enter a concise value that the service will validate and store or act on. Choose the native type, autocomplete purpose, input mode, and accessible name from the data contract rather than the desired appearance. Keep formatting hints outside the placeholder and preserve the entered value after recoverable errors. Test paste, autofill, mobile keyboards, invalid server responses, long unbroken values, zoom, and sensitive-data handling before shipping the form.
