‘Input Hint' Usage Rules
Use
<mat-hint>
container if the input is required and needs a ‘required message' e.g. This field is required or if the field has HTML5 input validation, e.g. email format check
If an input is required, add
class=”required”
to the label, which will add a red asterix after the label to indicate the field must be completed
Disabled Inputs
Use
disabled
tag within input, which will automatically pull in disabled input styling<input matInput type="text" disabled="disabled"> OR <input matInput type="text" disabled>
Inline Editing/Saving Text and Select Inputs
Normally, changes are made to the contents of an input and within corresponding panel footer, there will be a ‘Save’ button to save the changes.
However, there are a few instances where we do not have this ‘whole panel' save button, where instead inputs are saved on a change by change basis. This is achieved through an ‘inline’ set of controls to allow the enabling, changing and saving of an inputs content.
Click the ‘edit’ button to enable the input
Enter the new value
Click the ‘save’ button on the input
New value is saved without having to click a ‘whole panel’ save button
This method means that sensitive/impactful input values require a few purposeful UX interactions in order to be able to edit and save values, therefore preventing mistakes and errors. Currently, inline input editing is used on:
Advertisers > Advertiser > Value Transforms Table
Advertisers > Advertiser > Validations Lists Table
Campaign > Processr Table
Leads > Lead Profile Modal > Profile Tab Table [Development In Progress]
