Features#
Search fields can be built with <input type="search">
, but these can be hard to
style consistently cross browser. SearchField
helps achieve accessible
search fields that can be styled as needed.
- Clearable – A custom clear button can be shown to allow the input to be easily reset.
- Accessible – Uses a native
<input type="search">
element, with support for the Enter and Escape keys to submit and clear the field, respectively. Label, description, and error message elements are automatically associated with the field. - Validation – Support for native HTML constraint validation with customizable UI, custom validation functions, realtime validation, and server-side validation errors.
Anatomy#
Search fields consist of an input element, a label, and an optional clear button.
SearchField
automatically manages the labeling and relationships between the elements,
and handles keyboard events. Users can press the Escape key to clear the search field, or
the Enter key to trigger the onSubmit
event.
SearchField
also supports optional description and error message elements, which can be used
to provide more context about the field, and any validation messages. These are linked with the
input via the aria-describedby
attribute.
import {Button, FieldError, Input, Label, SearchField, Text} from 'react-aria-components';
<SearchField>
<Label />
<Input />
<Button />
<Text slot="description" />
<FieldError />
</SearchField>
import {
Button,
FieldError,
Input,
Label,
SearchField,
Text
} from 'react-aria-components';
<SearchField>
<Label />
<Input />
<Button />
<Text slot="description" />
<FieldError />
</SearchField>
import {
Button,
FieldError,

Label,
SearchField,
Text
} from 'react-aria-components';
<SearchField>
<Label />
<Input />
<Button />
<Text slot="description" />
<FieldError />
</SearchField>
If there is no visual label, an aria-label
or aria-labelledby
prop must be passed instead
to identify the element to screen readers.
Concepts#
SearchField
makes use of the following concepts:
Composed components#
A SearchField
uses the following components, which may also be used standalone or reused in other components.
Starter kits#
To help kick-start your project, we offer starter kits that include example implementations of all React Aria components with various styling solutions. All components are fully styled, including support for dark mode, high contrast mode, and all UI states. Each starter comes with a pre-configured Storybook that you can experiment with, or use as a starting point for your own component library.
Reusable wrappers#
If you will use a SearchField in multiple places in your app, you can wrap all of the pieces into a reusable component. This way, the DOM structure, styling code, and other logic are defined in a single place and reused everywhere to ensure consistency.
This example wraps SearchField
and all of its children together into a single component which accepts a label
prop, which is passed to the right place. It also shows how to use the description
slot to render help text, and FieldError
component to render validation errors.
import type {SearchFieldProps, ValidationResult} from 'react-aria-components';
import {FieldError, Text} from 'react-aria-components';
interface MySearchFieldProps extends SearchFieldProps {
label?: string;
description?: string;
errorMessage?: string | ((validation: ValidationResult) => string);
}
function MySearchField(
{ label, description, errorMessage, ...props }: MySearchFieldProps
) {
return (
<SearchField {...props}>
<Label>{label}</Label>
<Input />
<Button>✕</Button>
{description && <Text slot="description">{description}</Text>}
<FieldError>{errorMessage}</FieldError>
</SearchField>
);
}
<MySearchField label="Search" />
import type {
SearchFieldProps,
ValidationResult
} from 'react-aria-components';
import {FieldError, Text} from 'react-aria-components';
interface MySearchFieldProps extends SearchFieldProps {
label?: string;
description?: string;
errorMessage?:
| string
| ((validation: ValidationResult) => string);
}
function MySearchField(
{ label, description, errorMessage, ...props }:
MySearchFieldProps
) {
return (
<SearchField {...props}>
<Label>{label}</Label>
<Input />
<Button>✕</Button>
{description && (
<Text slot="description">{description}</Text>
)}
<FieldError>{errorMessage}</FieldError>
</SearchField>
);
}
<MySearchField label="Search" />
import type {
SearchFieldProps,
ValidationResult
} from 'react-aria-components';
import {
FieldError,
Text
} from 'react-aria-components';
interface MySearchFieldProps
extends
SearchFieldProps {
label?: string;
description?: string;
errorMessage?:
| string
| ((
validation:
ValidationResult
) => string);
}
function MySearchField(
{
label,
description,
errorMessage,
...props
}: MySearchFieldProps
) {
return (
<SearchField
{...props}
>
<Label>
{label}
</Label>
<Input />
<Button>✕</Button>
{description && (
<Text slot="description">
{description}
</Text>
)}
<FieldError>
{errorMessage}
</FieldError>
</SearchField>
);
}
<MySearchField label="Search" />
Value#
Default value#
A SearchField's value
is empty by default, but an initial, uncontrolled, value can be provided using the defaultValue
prop.
<MySearchField
label="Search"
defaultValue="Puppies" />
<MySearchField
label="Search"
defaultValue="Puppies" />
<MySearchField
label="Search"
defaultValue="Puppies"
/>
Controlled value#
The value
prop can be used to make the value controlled. The onChange
event is fired when the user edits the text, and receives the new value.
function Example() {
let [text, setText] = React.useState('');
return (
<>
<MySearchField label="Search" onChange={setText} />
<p>Mirrored text: {text}</p>
</>
);
}
function Example() {
let [text, setText] = React.useState('');
return (
<>
<MySearchField label="Search" onChange={setText} />
<p>Mirrored text: {text}</p>
</>
);
}
function Example() {
let [text, setText] =
React.useState('');
return (
<>
<MySearchField
label="Search"
onChange={setText}
/>
<p>
Mirrored text:
{' '}
{text}
</p>
</>
);
}
HTML forms#
SearchField supports the name
prop for integration with HTML forms. In addition, attributes such as type
, pattern
, inputMode
, and others are passed through to the underlying <input>
element.
<MySearchField label="Email" name="email" type="email" />
<MySearchField label="Email" name="email" type="email" />
<MySearchField
label="Email"
name="email"
type="email"
/>
Events#
The most commonly used handlers for events in SearchField are the:
onChange
prop which is triggered whenever the value is edited by the user.onSubmit
prop which is triggered whenever the value is submitted by the user (e.g. by pressing Enter).onClear
prop which is triggered whenever the value is cleared by the user (e.g. by pressing clear button or Escape key).
The example below uses onChange
, onSubmit
, and onClear
to update two separate elements with the text entered into the SearchField.
function Example() {
let [currentText, setCurrentText] = React.useState('');
let [submittedText, setSubmittedText] = React.useState('');
return (
<div>
<MySearchField
onClear={() => setCurrentText('')}
onChange={setCurrentText}
onSubmit={setSubmittedText}
label="Your text"
value={currentText}
/>
<p>Mirrored text: {currentText}</p>
<p>Submitted text: {submittedText}</p>
</div>
);
}
function Example() {
let [currentText, setCurrentText] = React.useState('');
let [submittedText, setSubmittedText] = React.useState(
''
);
return (
<div>
<MySearchField
onClear={() => setCurrentText('')}
onChange={setCurrentText}
onSubmit={setSubmittedText}
label="Your text"
value={currentText}
/>
<p>Mirrored text: {currentText}</p>
<p>Submitted text: {submittedText}</p>
</div>
);
}
function Example() {
let [
currentText,
setCurrentText
] = React.useState('');
let [
submittedText,
setSubmittedText
] = React.useState('');
return (
<div>
<MySearchField
onClear={() =>
setCurrentText(
''
)}
onChange={setCurrentText}
onSubmit={setSubmittedText}
label="Your text"
value={currentText}
/>
<p>
Mirrored text:
{' '}
{currentText}
</p>
<p>
Submitted text:
{' '}
{submittedText}
</p>
</div>
);
}
Validation#
SearchField supports HTML constraint validation props such as isRequired
, minLength
, and pattern
, as well as custom validation functions, realtime validation, and server-side validation. It can also be integrated with other form libraries. See the Forms guide to learn more.
To display validation errors, add a <FieldError>
element as a child of the SearchField. This allows you to render error messages from all of the above sources with consistent custom styles.
import {Form, FieldError} from 'react-aria-components';
<Form>
<SearchField name="search" isRequired> <Label>Search</Label>
<Input />
<Button>✕</Button>
<FieldError /> </SearchField>
<Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
</Form>
import {Form, FieldError} from 'react-aria-components';
<Form>
<SearchField name="search" isRequired> <Label>Search</Label>
<Input />
<Button>✕</Button>
<FieldError /> </SearchField>
<Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
</Form>
import {
FieldError,
Form
} from 'react-aria-components';
<Form>
<SearchField
name="search"
isRequired
> <Label>
Search
</Label>
<Input />
<Button>✕</Button>
<FieldError /> </SearchField>
<Button type="submit">
Submit
</Button>
</Form>

Read only#
The isReadOnly
boolean prop makes the SearchField's text content immutable. Unlike isDisabled
, the SearchField remains focusable
and the contents can still be copied. See the MDN docs for more information.
<MySearchField label="Email" defaultValue="abc@adobe.com" isReadOnly />
<MySearchField
label="Email"
defaultValue="abc@adobe.com"
isReadOnly
/>
<MySearchField
label="Email"
defaultValue="abc@adobe.com"

Styling#
React Aria components can be styled in many ways, including using CSS classes, inline styles, utility classes (e.g. Tailwind), CSS-in-JS (e.g. Styled Components), etc. By default, all components include a builtin className
attribute which can be targeted using CSS selectors. These follow the react-aria-ComponentName
naming convention.
.react-aria-SearchField {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-SearchField {
/* ... */
}
.react-aria-SearchField {
/* ... */
}
A custom className
can also be specified on any component. This overrides the default className
provided by React Aria with your own.
<SearchField className="my-searchfield">
{/* ... */}
</SearchField>
<SearchField className="my-searchfield">
{/* ... */}
</SearchField>
<SearchField className="my-searchfield">
{/* ... */}
</SearchField>
In addition, some components support multiple UI states (e.g. focused, placeholder, readonly, etc.). React Aria components expose states using data attributes, which you can target in CSS selectors. For example:
input[data-hovered] {
/* ... */
}
input[data-disabled] {
/* ... */
}
input[data-hovered] {
/* ... */
}
input[data-disabled] {
/* ... */
}
input[data-hovered] {
/* ... */
}
input[data-disabled] {
/* ... */
}
The className
and style
props also accept functions which receive states for styling. This lets you dynamically determine the classes or styles to apply, which is useful when using utility CSS libraries like Tailwind.
<Button
className={({ isPressed }) => isPressed ? 'bg-gray-700' : 'bg-gray-600'}
/>
<Button
className={({ isPressed }) =>
isPressed ? 'bg-gray-700' : 'bg-gray-600'}
/>
<Button
className={(
{ isPressed }
) =>
isPressed
? 'bg-gray-700'
: 'bg-gray-600'}
/>
Render props may also be used as children to alter what elements are rendered based on the current state. For example, you could render the clear button only when the input is non-empty.
<SearchField>
{({state}) => (
<>
<Label>Search</Label>
<Input />
{state.value !== '' && <Button>✕</Button>}
</>
)}
</SearchField>
<SearchField>
{({state}) => (
<>
<Label>Search</Label>
<Input />
{state.value !== '' && <Button>✕</Button>}
</>
)}
</SearchField>
<SearchField>
{({ state }) => (
<>
<Label>
Search
</Label>
<Input />
{state.value !==
'' && (
<Button>
✕
</Button>
)}
</>
)}
</SearchField>
The states, selectors, and render props for each component used in a SearchField
are documented below.
SearchField#
A SearchField
can be targeted with the .react-aria-SearchField
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
. It supports the following states:
Name | CSS Selector | Description |
isEmpty | [data-empty] | Whether the search field is empty. |
isDisabled | [data-disabled] | Whether the search field is disabled. |
isInvalid | [data-invalid] | Whether the search field is invalid. |
state | — | State of the search field. |
Label#
A Label
can be targeted with the .react-aria-Label
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
.
Input#
An Input
can be targeted with the .react-aria-Input
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
. It supports the following states:
Name | CSS Selector | Description |
isHovered | [data-hovered] | Whether the input is currently hovered with a mouse. |
isFocused | [data-focused] | Whether the input is focused, either via a mouse or keyboard. |
isFocusVisible | [data-focus-visible] | Whether the input is keyboard focused. |
isDisabled | [data-disabled] | Whether the input is disabled. |
isInvalid | [data-invalid] | Whether the input is invalid. |
Button#
A Button can be targeted with the .react-aria-Button
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
. It supports the following states:
Name | CSS Selector | Description |
isHovered | [data-hovered] | Whether the button is currently hovered with a mouse. |
isPressed | [data-pressed] | Whether the button is currently in a pressed state. |
isFocused | [data-focused] | Whether the button is focused, either via a mouse or keyboard. |

isPending | [data-pending] | Whether the button is currently in a pending state. |
Text#
The help text elements within a SearchField
can be targeted with the [slot=description]
and [slot=errorMessage]
CSS selectors, or by adding a custom className
.
FieldError#
A FieldError
can be targeted with the .react-aria-FieldError
CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom className
. It supports the following render props:
Name | Description |
isInvalid | Whether the input value is invalid. |
validationErrors | The current error messages for the input if it is invalid, otherwise an empty array. |
validationDetails | The native validation details for the input. |
Advanced customization#
Composition#
If you need to customize one of the components within a SearchField
, such as Label
or Input
, in many cases you can create a wrapper component. This lets you customize the props passed to the component.
function MyInput(props) {
return <Input {...props} className="my-input" />
}
function MyInput(props) {
return <Input {...props} className="my-input" />
}
function MyInput(props) {
return (
<Input
{...props}
className="my-input"
/>
);
}
Contexts#
All React Aria Components export a corresponding context that can be used to send props to them from a parent element. This enables you to build your own compositional APIs similar to those found in React Aria Components itself. You can send any prop or ref via context that you could pass to the corresponding component. The local props and ref on the component are merged with the ones passed via context, with the local props taking precedence (following the rules documented in mergeProps).
Component | Context | Props | Ref |
SearchField | SearchFieldContext | SearchFieldProps | HTMLDivElement |
This example shows a FieldGroup
component that renders a group of search fields with a title. The entire group can be marked as disabled via the isDisabled
prop, which is passed to all child search fields via the SearchFieldContext
provider.
import {SearchFieldContext} from 'react-aria-components';
interface FieldGroupProps {
title?: string,
children?: React.ReactNode,
isDisabled?: boolean
}
function FieldGroup({title, children, isDisabled}: FieldGroupProps) {
return (
<fieldset>
<legend>{title}</legend>
<SearchFieldContext.Provider value={{isDisabled}}> {children}
</SearchFieldContext.Provider>
</fieldset>
);
}
<FieldGroup title="Filters" isDisabled>
<MySearchField label="Name" defaultValue="Devon" />
<MySearchField label="Email" defaultValue="devon@example.com" />
</FieldGroup>
import {SearchFieldContext} from 'react-aria-components';
interface FieldGroupProps {
title?: string;
children?: React.ReactNode;
isDisabled?: boolean;
}
function FieldGroup(
{ title, children, isDisabled }: FieldGroupProps
) {
return (
<fieldset>
<legend>{title}</legend>
<SearchFieldContext.Provider value={{ isDisabled }}> {children}
</SearchFieldContext.Provider>
</fieldset>
);
}
<FieldGroup title="Filters" isDisabled>
<MySearchField label="Name" defaultValue="Devon" />
<MySearchField
label="Email"
defaultValue="devon@example.com"
/>
</FieldGroup>
import {SearchFieldContext} from 'react-aria-components';
interface FieldGroupProps {
title?: string;
children?:
React.ReactNode;
isDisabled?: boolean;
}
function FieldGroup(
{
title,
children,
isDisabled
}: FieldGroupProps
) {
return (
<fieldset>
<legend>
{title}
</legend>
<SearchFieldContext.Provider
value={{
isDisabled
}}
> {children}
</SearchFieldContext.Provider>
</fieldset>
);
}
<FieldGroup
title="Filters"
isDisabled
>
<MySearchField
label="Name"
defaultValue="Devon"
/>
<MySearchField
label="Email"
defaultValue="devon@example.com"
/>
</FieldGroup>

Custom children#
SearchField passes props to its child components, such as the label and input, via their associated contexts. These contexts are exported so you can also consume them in your own custom components. This enables you to reuse existing components from your app or component library together with React Aria Components.
Component | Context | Props | Ref |
Label | LabelContext | LabelProps | HTMLLabelElement |
Input | InputContext | InputProps | HTMLInputElement |
Button | ButtonContext | ButtonProps | HTMLButtonElement |
Text | TextContext | TextProps | HTMLElement |
This example consumes from LabelContext
in an existing styled label component to make it compatible with React Aria Components. The useContextProps
hook merges the local props and ref with the ones provided via context by SearchField.
import type {LabelProps} from 'react-aria-components';
import {LabelContext, useContextProps} from 'react-aria-components';
const MyCustomLabel = React.forwardRef(
(props: LabelProps, ref: React.ForwardedRef<HTMLLabelElement>) => {
// Merge the local props and ref with the ones provided via context.
[props, ref] = useContextProps(props, ref, LabelContext);
// ... your existing Label component
return <label {...props} ref={ref} />;
}
);
import type {LabelProps} from 'react-aria-components';
import {
LabelContext,
useContextProps
} from 'react-aria-components';
const MyCustomLabel = React.forwardRef(
(
props: LabelProps,
ref: React.ForwardedRef<HTMLLabelElement>
) => {
// Merge the local props and ref with the ones provided via context.
[props, ref] = useContextProps(
props,
ref,
LabelContext
);
// ... your existing Label component
return <label {...props} ref={ref} />;
}
);
import type {LabelProps} from 'react-aria-components';
import {
LabelContext,
useContextProps
} from 'react-aria-components';
const MyCustomLabel =
React.forwardRef(
(
props: LabelProps,
ref:
React.ForwardedRef<
HTMLLabelElement
>
) => {
// Merge the local props and ref with the ones provided via context.
[props, ref] =
useContextProps(
props,
ref,
LabelContext
);
// ... your existing Label component
return (
<label
{...props}
ref={ref}
/>
);
}
);
Now you can use MyCustomLabel
within a SearchField
, in place of the builtin React Aria Components Label
.
<SearchField>
<MyCustomLabel>Name</MyCustomLabel> <Input />
</SearchField>
<SearchField>
<MyCustomLabel>Name</MyCustomLabel> <Input />
</SearchField>
<SearchField>
<MyCustomLabel>
Name
</MyCustomLabel> <Input />
</SearchField>
