## Demo

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import { Input } from '@base-ui/react/input';

export default function ExampleInput() {
  return (
    <label className="flex flex-col items-start gap-1 text-sm font-bold text-neutral-950 dark:text-white">
      Name
      <Input
        placeholder="e.g. Colm Tuite"
        className="h-8 w-40 border border-neutral-950 dark:border-white bg-white dark:bg-neutral-950 px-2 text-sm any-pointer-coarse:text-base font-normal text-neutral-950 dark:text-white placeholder:text-neutral-500 dark:placeholder:text-neutral-400 focus:outline-2 focus:-outline-offset-1 focus:outline-neutral-950 dark:focus:outline-white"
      />
    </label>
  );
}
```

### CSS Modules

This example shows how to implement the component using CSS Modules.

```css
/* index.module.css */
.Label {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: flex-start;
  gap: 0.25rem;
  font-size: 0.875rem;
  line-height: 1.25rem;
  font-weight: 700;
  color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);

  @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
    color: white;
  }
}

.Input {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  padding: 0 0.5rem;
  margin: 0;
  border-radius: 0;
  border: 1px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
  width: 10rem;
  height: 2rem;
  font-family: inherit;
  font-size: 0.875rem;
  line-height: 1.25rem;
  font-weight: 400;
  background-color: white;
  color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);

  @media (any-pointer: coarse) {
    font-size: 1rem;
    line-height: 1.5rem;
  }

  @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
    border: 1px solid white;
    background-color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    color: white;
  }

  &::placeholder {
    color: oklch(55.6% 0 0deg);

    @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
      color: oklch(70.8% 0 0deg);
    }
  }

  &:focus {
    outline: 2px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    outline-offset: -1px;

    @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
      outline-color: white;
    }
  }
}
```

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import { Input } from '@base-ui/react/input';
import styles from './index.module.css';

export default function ExampleInput() {
  return (
    <label className={styles.Label}>
      Name
      <Input placeholder="e.g. Colm Tuite" className={styles.Input} />
    </label>
  );
}
```

## Usage guidelines

- **Form controls must have an accessible name**: It can be created using a `<label>` element or the `Field` component. See the [forms guide](/react/handbook/forms.md).

## Anatomy

Import the component and use it as a single part:

```jsx title="Anatomy"
import { Input } from '@base-ui/react/input';

<Input />;
```

## Canonical Types

Maps `Canonical`: `Alias` — Use Canonical when its namespace is already imported; otherwise use Alias.
