beta This component version is ready to be used but is still in active development.

Usage

The vf-form__legend should only be used in a vf-form__fieldset and must be the first item in the fieldset.

A vf-form__legend is used to describe a group of inputs in a vf-form. They should be used for groups of vf-form__checkboxs and vf-form__radios but can be used with any related groups inside a vf-form__fieldset.

Variants

This is a legend
Nunjucks syntax

Depending on your environment you'll want to use render or include. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include, precompiled browser use render. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include.

Using include

You'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (example), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include is an abstraction of render and provides some additional portability.


{% set context fromYourYamlFile %}
- or -
{% set context = { 
"component-type" : "form",
"legend__text" : "This is a legend",
 }
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-form__legend/vf-form__legend.njk" %}
                

Using render

This approach is best for bare-bones Nunjucks environments, such as precompiled templates with the Nunjucks slim runtime where include is not be available.


{% render '@vf-form__legend', {
  "component-type" : "form",
  "legend__text" : "This is a legend",}
%}
