Anatomy

The Field family is designed for composing accessible forms. A typical field is structured as follows:

<Field>
  <FieldLabel for="input-id">Label</FieldLabel>
  <!-- Input, Select, Switch, etc. -->
  <FieldDescription>Optional helper text.</FieldDescription>
  <FieldError>Validation message.</FieldError>
</Field>

Field is the core wrapper for a single field.
FieldContent is a flex column that groups label and description. Not required if you have no description.
Wrap related fields with FieldGroup, and use FieldSet with FieldLegend for semantic grouping.

Responsive Layout

Vertical fields: Default orientation stacks label, control, and helper text—ideal for mobile-first layouts.
Horizontal fields: Set orientation="horizontal" on Field to align the label and control side-by-side. Pair with FieldContent to keep descriptions aligned.
Responsive fields: Set orientation="responsive" for automatic column layouts inside container-aware parents. Apply @container/field-group classes on FieldGroup to switch orientations at specific breakpoints.

Validation and Errors

Add data-invalid to Field to switch the entire block into an error state.
Add aria-invalid on the input itself for assistive technologies.
Render FieldError immediately after the control or inside FieldContent to keep error messages aligned with the field. Copy

<Field.Field data-invalid>
  <Field.Label for="email">Email</Field.Label>
  <Input id="email" type="email" aria-invalid />
  <Field.Error>Enter a valid email address.</Field.Error>
</Field.Field>

Accessibility

FieldSet and FieldLegend keep related controls grouped for keyboard and assistive tech users.
Field outputs role="group" so nested controls inherit labeling from FieldLabel and FieldLegend when combined.
Apply FieldSeparator sparingly to ensure screen readers encounter clear section boundaries.
