Fieldset

A set of form controls optionally grouped under a common name.

Examples

The Fieldset component provides contexts such as invalid and disabled for form elements. While most Ark UI components natively support these contexts, you can also use the Field component with standard HTML form elements.

Basic Usage

Learn how to use the Fieldset component in your project. Let's take a look at the most basic example:

import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/react/fieldset'

export const Basic = () => {
  return (
    <Fieldset.Root>
      <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
      <Fieldset.HelperText>Helper text</Fieldset.HelperText>
      <Fieldset.ErrorText>Error text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
    </Fieldset.Root>
  )
}

import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/solid/fieldset'

export const Basic = () => {
  return (
    <Fieldset.Root>
      <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
      <Fieldset.HelperText>Helper text</Fieldset.HelperText>
      <Fieldset.ErrorText>Error text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
    </Fieldset.Root>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/vue/fieldset'
</script>

<template>
  <Fieldset.Root>
    <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
    <Fieldset.HelperText>Helper text</Fieldset.HelperText>
    <Fieldset.ErrorText>Error text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
  </Fieldset.Root>
</template>

Field

This example demonstrates how to use the Field component with a standard input field within a Fieldset.

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'
import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/react/fieldset'

export const WithField = () => {
  return (
    <Fieldset.Root>
      <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
      <Fieldset.HelperText>Fieldset Helper Text</Fieldset.HelperText>
      <Fieldset.ErrorText>Fieldset Error Text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
      <Field.Root>
        <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
        <Field.Input />
        <Field.HelperText>Field Helper Text</Field.HelperText>
        <Field.ErrorText>Field Error Text</Field.ErrorText>
      </Field.Root>
    </Fieldset.Root>
  )
}

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/solid/field'
import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/solid/fieldset'

export const WithField = () => {
  return (
    <Fieldset.Root>
      <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
      <Fieldset.HelperText>Fieldset Helper Text</Fieldset.HelperText>
      <Fieldset.ErrorText>Fieldset Error Text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
      <Field.Root>
        <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
        <Field.Input />
        <Field.HelperText>Field Helper Text</Field.HelperText>
        <Field.ErrorText>Field Error Text</Field.ErrorText>
      </Field.Root>
    </Fieldset.Root>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/vue/field'
import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/vue/fieldset'
</script>

<template>
  <Fieldset.Root>
    <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
    <Fieldset.HelperText>Fieldset Helper Text</Fieldset.HelperText>
    <Fieldset.ErrorText>Fieldset Error Text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
    <Field.Root>
      <Field.Label>Label</Field.Label>
      <Field.Input />
      <Field.HelperText>Field Helper Text</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Field Error Text</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  </Fieldset.Root>
</template>

Checkbox

This example shows how to use the Fieldset component with other Ark UI form elements like Checkbox.

import { Checkbox } from '@ark-ui/react/checkbox'
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'
import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/react/fieldset'

export const WithCheckbox = () => {
  return (
    <Fieldset.Root>
      <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
      <Fieldset.HelperText>Fieldset Helper Text</Fieldset.HelperText>
      <Fieldset.ErrorText>Fieldset Error Text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
      <Field.Root>
        <Checkbox.Root>
          <Checkbox.Label>Label</Checkbox.Label>
          <Checkbox.Control>
            <Checkbox.Indicator>✔️</Checkbox.Indicator>
          </Checkbox.Control>
          <Checkbox.HiddenInput />
        </Checkbox.Root>
        <Field.HelperText>Field Heler Text</Field.HelperText>
        <Field.ErrorText>Field Error Text</Field.ErrorText>
      </Field.Root>
    </Fieldset.Root>
  )
}

import { Checkbox } from '@ark-ui/solid/checkbox'
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/solid/field'
import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/solid/fieldset'

export const WithCheckbox = () => {
  return (
    <Fieldset.Root>
      <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
      <Fieldset.HelperText>Fieldset Helper Text</Fieldset.HelperText>
      <Fieldset.ErrorText>Fieldset Error Text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
      <Field.Root>
        <Checkbox.Root>
          <Checkbox.Label>Label</Checkbox.Label>
          <Checkbox.Control>
            <Checkbox.Indicator>✔️</Checkbox.Indicator>
          </Checkbox.Control>
          <Checkbox.HiddenInput />
        </Checkbox.Root>
        <Field.HelperText>Field Heler Text</Field.HelperText>
        <Field.ErrorText>Field Error Text</Field.ErrorText>
      </Field.Root>
    </Fieldset.Root>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Checkbox } from '@ark-ui/vue/checkbox'
import { Field } from '@ark-ui/vue/field'
import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/vue/fieldset'
</script>

<template>
  <Fieldset.Root>
    <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
    <Fieldset.HelperText>Fieldset Helper Text</Fieldset.HelperText>
    <Fieldset.ErrorText>Fieldset Error Text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
    <Field.Root>
      <Checkbox.Root>
        <Checkbox.Label>Checkbox</Checkbox.Label>
        <Checkbox.Control>
          <Checkbox.Indicator>✔️</Checkbox.Indicator>
        </Checkbox.Control>
        <Checkbox.HiddenInput />
      </Checkbox.Root>
      <Field.HelperText>Field Heler Text</Field.HelperText>
      <Field.ErrorText>Field Error Text</Field.ErrorText>
    </Field.Root>
  </Fieldset.Root>
</template>

Root Provider

The RootProvider component provides a context for the fieldset. It accepts the value of the useFieldset hook. You can leverage it to access the component state and methods from outside the fieldset.

import { Fieldset, useFieldset } from '@ark-ui/react/fieldset'

export const RootProvider = () => {
  const fieldset = useFieldset({
    disabled: true,
  })
  return (
    <Fieldset.RootProvider value={fieldset}>
      <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
      <Fieldset.HelperText>Helper text</Fieldset.HelperText>
      <Fieldset.ErrorText>Error text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
    </Fieldset.RootProvider>
  )
}

import { Fieldset, useFieldset } from '@ark-ui/solid/fieldset'

export const RootProvider = () => {
  const fieldset = useFieldset({
    disabled: true,
  })
  return (
    <Fieldset.RootProvider value={fieldset}>
      <Fieldset.Legend>Legend</Fieldset.Legend>
      <Fieldset.HelperText>Helper text</Fieldset.HelperText>
      <Fieldset.ErrorText>Error text</Fieldset.ErrorText>
    </Fieldset.RootProvider>
  )
}

Input with Select

This example shows how to use the Fieldset component with Field.Input and Select to create a interactive phone input component.

import { Field } from '@ark-ui/react/field'
import { Fieldset } from '@ark-ui/react/fieldset'
import { Portal } from '@ark-ui/react/portal'
import { Select, createListCollection } from '@ark-ui/react/select'

export const PhoneInput = () => {
  const extensions = createListCollection({
    items: ['+1', '+44', '+49', '+41'],
  })

  const inputRef = useRef<HTMLInputElement | null>(null)
  const focusInput = () => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      inputRef.current?.focus()
    })
  }

  return (
    <Fieldset.Root style={{ border: '0', padding: '0' }}>
      <Fieldset.Legend onClick={focusInput}>Mobile Number</Fieldset.Legend>

      <div style={{ display: 'flex', alignItems: 'flex-start' }}>
        <Field.Root>
