<iron-input>
<iron-input> adds two-way binding and custom validators using Polymer.IronValidatorBehavior to <input>.
See: Documentation, Demo.
Usage
Installation
npm install --save @polymer/iron-input
In an html file
<html>
<head>
<script type="module">
import '@polymer/iron-input/iron-input.js';
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iron-input>
<input>
</iron-input>
</body>
</html>
In a Polymer 3 element
import {PolymerElement, html} from '@polymer/polymer';
import '@polymer/iron-input/iron-input.js';
class SampleElement extends PolymerElement {
static get template() {
return html`
<iron-input>
<input>
</iron-input>
`;
}
}
customElements.define('sample-element', SampleElement);
Two-way binding
By default you can only get notified of changes to an input's value due to user input:
<input value="{{myValue::input}}">
iron-input adds the bind-value property that mirrors the value property, and can be used for two-way data binding. bind-value will notify if it is changed either by user input or by script.
<iron-input bind-value="{{bindValue}}">
<input value="{{value::input}}">
</iron-input>
Custom validators
You can use custom validators that implement Polymer.IronValidatorBehavior with <iron-input>.
<iron-input auto-validate validator="my-custom-validator">
<input placeholder="only 'cat' is valid">
</iron-input>
Stopping invalid input
It may be desirable to only allow users to enter certain characters. You can use the prevent-invalid-input and allowed-pattern attributes together to accomplish this. This feature is separate from validation, and allowed-pattern does not affect how the input is validated.
<!-- only allow characters that match [0-9] -->
<iron-input allowed-pattern="[0-9]">
<input pattern="\d{5}">
</iron-input>
