Hints and Errors

The FormField enables you to display hint and error messages.

To render hints and errors, add the HintComponent or ErrorComponent instances inside the FormField component.

Default Setup

By default, the errors are hidden and will be displayed when the form control is invalid after user interaction. If provided, the hints will be initially visible and will hide if an error occurs.

Visibility

You can control the behavior of hint and error messages by setting the showHints and showErrors properties.

The available showHints values are:

  • (Default) initial—The hint messages are displayed when the state of the form-bound component is valid or untouched, and pristine.
  • always—The hint messages are always displayed, leaving the control of their content visibility to the developer.

The available showErrors values are:

  • (Default) initial—The error messages are displayed when the state of the form-bound component is invalid and touched, or dirty.
  • always—The error messages are always displayed, leaving the control of their content visibility to the developer.
