---

---

Text field provides an input field, which allows users to enter the data. The following are the attributes, which can be used within the input helper −

Syntax

{{input type = "type-of-input" value = "name-of-input-element"}}

Example

The example given below specifies the usage of textfields in the input helper. Create a route with name as textfield and open the router.js file to define the URL mappings −

import Ember from 'ember';
import config from './config/environment';

const Router = Ember.Router.extend ({
   location: config.locationType,
   rootURL: config.rootURL
});

Router.map(function() {
   this.route('textfield');
});

export default Router;

Open the file application.hbs file created under app/templates/ with the following code −

<h2>Input Helper Text Field</h2>
{{#link-to 'textfield'}}Click Here{{/link-to}}
{{outlet}}

When you click the link, page should open the textfield.hbs file, which contains the following code −

Enter Name : {{input type = "text" placeholder = "Enter the name" value = name}}
<button {{action "send"}}>Send</button>
{{outlet}}

Open the textfield.js file created under app/routes/ with the following code −

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend ({
   model: function () {
      //initializing the variable 'name' as null by using create method
      return Ember.Object.create ({
         name: null
      });
   }
});

Now open the textfield.js file created under app/controllers/ with the following code −

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Controller.extend ({
   actions: {
      //this actions get the name from the text field
      send: function () {
         document.write('Name is: ' + this.get('name'));
      }
   }
});

Output

Run the ember server; you will receive the following output −

When you click on the link, an input field will get display, which allows users to enter the data −

Now click on the send button, it will display the result as shown in the screenshot below −
