Input

Input data using mouse or keyboard.

WARNING

Input is a controlled component, it always shows Vue binding value.

Under normal circumstances, input event should be handled. Its handler should update component's binding value (or use v-model). Otherwise, input box's value will not change.

Do not support v-model modifiers.

FAQ

Why is the width of the ElInput component expanded by clearable?

Typical issue: #7287

PS: Since the ElInput component does not have a default width, when the clearable icon is displayed, the width of the component will be expanded, which can be solved by setting width.

<el-input v-model="input" clearable style="width: 200px" />
