Editable
EditableText is used for inline renaming of some text. It appears as normal UI text but transforms into a text input field when the user clicks or focuses on it.
Import
Chakra UI exports 3 components to handle this functionality.
Editable
: The wrapper component that provides context value.EditableInput
: The edit view of the component. It shows when you click or focus on the text.EditableTextarea
: Use the textarea element to handle multi line text input in an editable context.EditablePreview
: The read-only view of the component.
import {
Editable,
EditableInput,
EditableTextarea,
EditablePreview,
} from '@chakra-ui/react';
Usage
The editable's text input and preview inherits all font styling from the root
Editable
container in order to make the edit and read view transition
seamless.
Usage with textarea
With custom input and controls
In some cases, you might need to use custom controls to toggle the edit and read
mode. We use the render prop pattern to provide access to the internal state of
the component. You may want to customize the EditableInput
as well. This can
be achieved by using a custom Input
component in the as
prop.
Styling the editable
Please see the recipe for a styled example.
