Text field helper text

Helper text gives context about a field’s input, such as how the input will be used. It should be visible either persistently or only on focus.

Basic usage

HTML structure

<div class="mdc-text-field-helper-text" aria-hidden="true">helper text</div>

NOTE: Place this inside .mdc-text-field-helper-line element which is an immediate sibling of .mdc-text-field.

Styles

@use "@material/textfield/helper-text";

@include helper-text.helper-text-core-styles;

JavaScript instantiation

import {MDCTextFieldHelperText} from '@material/textfield/helper-text';

const helperText = new MDCTextFieldHelperText(document.querySelector('.mdc-text-field-helper-text'));

Accessibility

Note that in every example where the helper text is dependent on the state of the input element, we assign an id to the mdc-text-field-helper-text element and set that id to the value of the aria-controls and aria-describedby attributes on the input element. We recommend doing this as well as it will help indicate to assistive devices that the display of the helper text is dependent on the interaction with the input element.

<label class="mdc-text-field mdc-text-field--filled">
  <span class="mdc-text-field__ripple"></span>
  <span class="mdc-floating-label" id="my-label-id">Username</span>
  <input class="mdc-text-field__input" type="text"
         aria-labelledby="my-label-id"
         aria-controls="username-helper-text"
         aria-describedby="username-helper-text">
  <span class="mdc-line-ripple"></span>
</label>
<div class="mdc-text-field-helper-line">
  <div id="username-helper-text" class="mdc-text-field-helper-text" aria-hidden="true">
    This will be displayed on your public profile
  </div>
</div>
