Guidance
Freeform text inputCollect unpredictable freeform information.
Use when
- Use when users must enter freeform information that cannot be reliably selected from a list. Do not choose a freeform field when a constrained choice would reduce errors or cognitive load.
Avoid when
- Avoid using email-compose-card as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- short
- Interaction cost
- medium
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- freeform
- Mobile / touch risk
- medium
- Accessibility risk
- medium
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- No
Preferred alternatives
- Radio or checkbox for bounded choices
- Select or combobox for known options
Anti-patterns
- Using freeform entry for a bounded answer set

Capabilities
Behavior

Usage
<div class="mx-auto w-full max-w-md">
<x-ui.email-compose-card

subject="Onboarding revamp — final review"
/>
</div>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
