Validation - Text fields

This pattern encourages users to enter valid information in text fields.

General text fields allow users to provide information requested by the system in order to complete a task. This applies for form applications, sign up flows, and more.

How it works

Text fields are validated by checking for a minimum of 2 characters entered.

Tips

Clearly label fields

Be clear about what kind of information you are asking for in the text field.

Order text fields consistently

When there is a group of multiple text fields, order them consistently on different pages. For example, if you request the name, then birthday, then email on one page, order the text fields the same way on other pages that require the same information.
