URL field

The URL field component collects URLs from users with built-in formatting and validation. Use URL field for website addresses, link destinations, or any URL input to provide URL-specific keyboard layouts and automatic validation.

URL fields support protocol prefixing, validation, and help text to guide users toward entering properly formatted web addresses. For general text input, use text field.

Info

URL fields validate format, not reachability. To confirm a URL resolves, fetch it from your app's backend.

Configure the following properties on the url field component.

Anchor to autocomplete
autocomplete
AutocompleteField | `${} ${AutocompleteField}` | `${} ${AutocompleteField}` | `${} ${} ${AutocompleteField}` | "on" | "off"
Default: 'on'

A hint about the intended content of the field for browser autofill.

When set to on (the default), this property indicates that the field should support autofill, but you do not have any more semantic information on the intended contents.

When set to off, you are indicating that this field contains sensitive information, or contents that are never saved, like one-time codes.

Alternatively, you can provide value which describes the specific data you would like to be entered into this field during autofill.

Learn more about the set of autocomplete values supported in browsers.

Anchor to defaultValue
defaultValue
string

The initial value of the field when it first loads. Unlike placeholder, this is a real value that the user can edit and that gets submitted with the form. Once the user starts typing, their input replaces this value.

Anchor to disabled
disabled
boolean
Default: false

Whether the field is disabled, preventing any user interaction.

Anchor to error
error
string

An error message displayed below the field to indicate validation problems. When set, the field is styled with error indicators and the message is announced to screen readers.

string

A unique identifier for the element. Use this to reference the element in JavaScript, link labels to form controls, or target specific elements for styling or scripting.

Anchor to label
label
string

The text displayed as the field label, which identifies the purpose of the field to users. This label is associated with the field for accessibility and helps users understand what information to provide.

Anchor to labelAccessibilityVisibility
labelAccessibilityVisibility
'visible' | 'exclusive'
Default: 'visible'

Controls whether the label is visible to all users or only to screen readers.

  • visible: The label is shown to everyone.
  • exclusive: The label is visually hidden but still announced by screen readers.
Anchor to maxLength
maxLength
number
Default: Infinity

Specifies the maximum number of characters allowed.

Anchor to minLength
minLength
number
Default: 0

Specifies the minimum number of characters allowed.

string

The name attribute for the field, used to identify the field's value when the form is submitted. Must be unique within the nearest containing form.

Anchor to readOnly
readOnly
boolean
Default: false

Whether the field is read-only and can't be edited. Read-only fields remain focusable and their content is announced by screen readers.

Anchor to required
required
boolean
Default: false

Whether the field needs a value. This requirement adds semantic value to the field, but it will not cause an error to appear automatically. If you want to present an error when this field is empty, you can do so with the error property.

Anchor to value
value
string

The current value for the field. If omitted, the field will be empty.

label="Store URL"
defaultValue="https://my-store.myshopify.com"

  • Validate on submission: Use the error property to show validation results when the URL format is incorrect and provide clear error messages that explain what's wrong.
