# Story 9.5: Component Styling - Forms
|
|
|
|
## Epic Reference
|
|
**Epic 9:** Design & Branding Implementation
|
|
|
|
## User Story
|
|
As a **user**,
|
|
I want **consistent, accessible form styling**,
|
|
So that **data entry is intuitive and error states are clear**.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
- **Story 9.1 (Color System)** - Must be completed first; provides Tailwind color aliases used below
|
|
- **Story 9.2 (Typography System)** - Font weights for labels
|
|
|
|
## Color Reference (from Story 9.1)
|
|
For quick reference, this story uses these colors defined in the Tailwind theme:
|
|
- `gold` (#D4AF37) - Focus states, checkbox accents
|
|
- `charcoal` (#2C3E50) - Default borders, label text
|
|
- `danger` (#E74C3C) - Error states
|
|
- `cream` (#F9F7F4) - Input backgrounds (if needed)
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance Criteria

|
## Files to Create/Modify
|
|
|
|
### Primary Files
|
|
- `resources/css/app.css` - Add form component utility classes
|
|
|
|
### Flux UI Integration
|
|
Flux UI Free includes these form components that need styling customization:
|
|
- `flux:input` - Text inputs
|
|
- `flux:textarea` - Multiline text
|
|
- `flux:select` - Dropdown selects
|
|
- `flux:checkbox` - Checkboxes
|
|
- `flux:radio` - Radio buttons
|
|
- `flux:field` - Field wrapper with label/error support
|
|
|
|
### Existing Forms to Audit
|
|
Review and update existing forms in:
|
|
- `resources/views/livewire/` - Any Volt components with forms
|
|
- Authentication views (login, register, password reset)
|
|
- Contact/booking forms
|
|
|
|
## Technical Implementation
|
|
|
|
### CSS Classes (add to `resources/css/app.css`)
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
/* Form field styling */
|
|
.input-field {
|
|
@apply w-full border border-charcoal/30 rounded-md px-4 py-3
|
|
focus:border-gold focus:ring-2 focus:ring-gold/20
|
|
transition-colors outline-none bg-white;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.input-error {
|
|
@apply border-danger focus:border-danger focus:ring-danger/20;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.form-label {
|
|
@apply block text-sm font-semibold text-charcoal mb-2;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.form-label-required::after {
|
|
content: ' *';
|
|
@apply text-danger;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.error-message {
|
|
@apply text-sm text-danger mt-1;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* Textarea specific */
|
|
.textarea-field {
|
|
@apply input-field min-h-[120px] resize-y;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* Custom checkbox */
|
|
.checkbox-custom {
|
|
@apply w-5 h-5 rounded border-charcoal/30 text-gold
|
|
focus:ring-gold focus:ring-offset-0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* Custom radio */
|
|
.radio-custom {
|
|
@apply w-5 h-5 border-charcoal/30 text-gold
|
|
focus:ring-gold focus:ring-offset-0;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Flux UI Component Usage Examples
|
|
|
|
```blade
|
|
{{-- Basic input with label --}}
|
|
<flux:field>
|
|
<flux:label class="form-label">Email</flux:label>
|
|
<flux:input type="email" wire:model="email" class="input-field" />
|
|
</flux:field>
|
|
|
|
{{-- Required field with error --}}
|
|
<flux:field>
|
|
<flux:label class="form-label form-label-required">Name</flux:label>
|
|
<flux:input
|
|
wire:model="name"
|
|
class="input-field @error('name') input-error @enderror"
|
|
/>
|
|
@error('name')
|
|
<span class="error-message">{{ $message }}</span>
|
|
@enderror
|
|
</flux:field>
|
|
|
|
{{-- Textarea --}}
|
|
<flux:field>
|
|
<flux:label class="form-label">Message</flux:label>
|
|
<flux:textarea wire:model="message" class="textarea-field" />
|
|
</flux:field>
|
|
|
|
{{-- Select dropdown --}}
|
|
<flux:field>
|
|
<flux:label class="form-label">Category</flux:label>
|
|
<flux:select wire:model="category" class="input-field">
|
|
<flux:select.option value="">Select...</flux:select.option>
|
|
<flux:select.option value="legal">Legal</flux:select.option>
|
|
<flux:select.option value="general">General</flux:select.option>
|
|
</flux:select>
|
|
</flux:field>
|
|
|
|
{{-- Checkbox with gold accent --}}
|
|
<flux:field>
|
|
<flux:checkbox wire:model="agree" class="checkbox-custom" />
|
|
<flux:label class="form-label inline ms-2">I agree to the terms</flux:label>
|
|
</flux:field>
|
|
|
|
{{-- Radio group --}}
|
|
<flux:field>
|
|
<flux:label class="form-label form-label-required">Preferred Contact</flux:label>
|
|
<div class="flex gap-4 mt-2">
|
|
<label class="flex items-center gap-2">
|
|
<flux:radio wire:model="contact" value="email" class="radio-custom" />
|
|
<span>Email</span>
|
|
</label>
|
|
<label class="flex items-center gap-2">
|
|
<flux:radio wire:model="contact" value="phone" class="radio-custom" />
|
|
<span>Phone</span>
|
|
</label>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</flux:field>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### RTL Considerations
|
|
- Use logical properties where possible (`ps-`, `pe-`, `ms-`, `me-` instead of `pl-`, `pr-`, `ml-`, `mr-`)
|
|
- Flux components should handle RTL automatically with `dir="rtl"` on the HTML element
|
|
- Test label positioning in Arabic locale
|
|
|
|
## Testing Requirements
|
|
|
|
### Manual Testing Checklist
|
|
1. **Visual Inspection (both locales)**
|
|
- [ ] Switch to Arabic - verify RTL alignment
|
|
- [ ] Switch to English - verify LTR alignment
|
|
- [ ] All form elements match design specs
|
|
|
|
2. **Interactive States**
|
|
- [ ] Click into each field type - verify gold focus ring appears
|
|
- [ ] Tab through form - verify focus order is logical
|
|
- [ ] Submit with errors - verify error styling appears
|
|
|
|
3. **Accessibility**
|
|
- [ ] Labels are associated with inputs (clicking label focuses input)
|
|
- [ ] Error messages are announced to screen readers
|
|
- [ ] Focus indicators are clearly visible
|
|
|
|
### Automated Tests
|
|
Create feature test for form styling verification:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
// tests/Feature/FormStylingTest.php
|
|
test('form fields render with correct classes', function () {
|
|
// Test that forms include the expected CSS classes
|
|
$this->get('/contact')
|
|
->assertSee('input-field')
|
|
->assertSee('form-label');
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
test('form error states display correctly', function () {
|
|
// Submit form with invalid data and check error styling
|
|
Livewire::test('contact-form')
|
|
->set('email', 'invalid')
|
|
->call('submit')
|
|
->assertSee('input-error')
|
|
->assertSee('error-message');
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Browser Testing (RTL Verification)
|
|
```php
|
|
// tests/Browser/FormRtlTest.php
|
|
it('displays form labels on the right in RTL mode', function () {
|
|
visit('/ar/contact')
|
|
->assertPresent('[dir="rtl"]')
|
|
->assertVisible('.form-label');
|
|
// Visual inspection for alignment
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Estimation
|
|
**Complexity:** Medium | **Effort:** 3-4 hours
|
|
|
|
## Dev Notes
|
|
- Check Flux UI docs for any built-in theming options before adding custom CSS
|
|
- If Flux components don't accept className props well, may need to use CSS selectors targeting Flux's rendered HTML
|
|
- Run `npm run build` after CSS changes to see updates

### Change Log
|
|
1. Added comprehensive form styling system to `resources/css/app.css`:
|
|
- Utility classes: `.input-field`, `.textarea-field`, `.select-field`, `.form-label`, `.error-message`, `.checkbox-custom`, `.radio-custom`
|
|
- Flux UI component targeting via data attributes (`[data-flux-label]`, `[data-flux-field]`, `[data-flux-error]`, etc.)
|
|
- Required indicator styling with `.required::after` pseudo-element
|
|
- RTL support for labels, error messages, and form fields
|
|
- Error state styling with danger color border and ring
|
|
|
|
2. Updated existing forms to use consistent required indicator pattern:
|
|
- Replaced manual " *" text with `class="required"` on `<flux:label>` components
|
|
- Updated admin client forms (individual and company create/edit)
|
|
- Updated admin posts forms (create/edit)
|
|
- Updated admin timeline create form
|
|
- Updated client booking form
|
|
|
|
3. Created feature tests validating:
|
|
- Forms render with required class on labels
|
|
- CSS contains all expected form styling classes
|
|
- Flux UI styling selectors are present
|
|
- RTL support is included
|
|
- Required indicator styling is defined
|
|
|
|
### Completion Notes
|
|
- Form styling implemented using both utility classes for custom forms and Flux UI data attribute selectors
|
|
- The `required` class approach provides cleaner, more maintainable required field indicators via CSS `::after` pseudo-element
|
|
- All 12 form styling tests pass
|
|
- Code formatted with Pint
|

## QA Results
|
|
|
|
### Review Date: 2026-01-03
|
|
|
|
### Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)
|
|
|
|
### Code Quality Assessment
|
|
|
|
**Excellent implementation.** The form styling system is well-architected with a dual approach: utility classes for custom forms (`.input-field`, `.textarea-field`, `.form-label`, etc.) and Flux UI data attribute selectors for integrated component styling. The CSS is logically organized with clear section comments separating Flux UI component styling from the utility class system.
|
|
|
|
Key strengths:
|
|
- Clean separation between Flux UI targeting (`[data-flux-*]` selectors) and utility classes
|
|
- Comprehensive error state handling including focus ring color changes
|
|
- Proper RTL support using `[dir="rtl"]` selectors
|
|
- Required indicator via CSS `::after` pseudo-element is elegant and maintainable
|
|
|
|
### Refactoring Performed
|
|
|
|
No refactoring required. The implementation is clean and follows project conventions.
|
|
|
|
### Compliance Check
|
|
|
|
- Coding Standards: ✓ All code follows Pint formatting
|
|
- Project Structure: ✓ CSS added to correct location, tests in Feature directory

|
|
### Improvements Checklist
|
|
|
|
- [x] Verified all CSS classes match story specifications
|
|
- [x] Verified Flux UI component styling via data attributes
|
|
- [x] Verified RTL support implementation
|
|
- [x] Verified error state styling
|
|
- [x] Verified required indicator on updated form files
|
|
- [x] Verified all 12 tests pass
|
|
|
|
### Security Review
|
|
|
|
No security concerns. The CSS layer does not handle user input directly. Form inputs are properly escaped via Flux components and Livewire's built-in XSS protection.
|
|
|
|
### Performance Considerations
|
|
|
|
No performance concerns. The CSS uses Tailwind's `@apply` directive which compiles to optimized CSS output. The selectors are specific but not overly complex, ensuring good rendering performance.
|
|
|
|
### Files Modified During Review
|
|
|
|
None. No modifications required.
