You should use a vf-form__item
to wrap each form input.
It is used to wrap any of the inputs along with the related vf-form__label
and also can take the vf-form__helper
and vf-form__helper--error
content as well.
The contents of the vf-form__item
should be coded in a specifc way to match consistency across products. For example, for the vf-form__input
items it should look like this:
<div class="vf-form__item vf-stack">
<label for="text" class="vf-form__label vf-form__label--required">
Form Label
<span class="vf-u-sr-only">this field is required.</span>

Each form input in the component library shows how they should be displayed in a vf-form__item
, and have their own vf-form__item--
variant.
Depending on your environment you'll want to use render
or include
. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include
, precompiled browser use render
. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include
.
include
You'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (example), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include
is an abstraction of render
and provides some additional portability.
{% set context fromYourYamlFile %}
- or -
{% set context = {
"component-type": "form"
}
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-form__item/vf-form__item.njk" %}
render
This approach is best for bare-bones Nunjucks environments, such as precompiled templates with the Nunjucks slim runtime where include
is not be available.
{% render '@vf-form__item', {
"component-type": "form"
} %}
<div class="vf-form__item">
