Input style

This option can be used for customizing your form input and textarea rendering.

<label>
    <input data-label="Username" mbsc-input id="username" data-input-style="underline" />
</label>

<label>
    <input data-label="Username" mbsc-input id="username" data-input-style="box" />
</label>

<label>
    <input data-label="Username" mbsc-input id="username" data-input-style="outline" />
</label>

Label style

With this option you can define the position of the label.

<label>
    <input data-label="Username" mbsc-input id="username" data-label-style="stacked" />
</label> 

<label>
    <input data-label="Username" mbsc-input id="username" data-label-style="inline" />
</label>
    

<label>
    <input mbsc-input id="username" data-label-style="floating" />
</label>
    

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (xhr.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
        var page = document.getElementById('page');
        page.innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
        mobiscroll.enhance(page);
    }
}
xhr.open('GET', '/myform', true);
xhr.send();

Passing options

All the options can be passed to the input via data- attributes with one ecxeption. The exception is the disabled attribute, that don't need the data- prefix, since the native input supports it.

For example, when passing the rtl and the disabled options:

<label>
    <input type="text" mbsc-input data-rtl="true" disabled data-label="This is Disabled" />
</label>

Disabled state

The underlying input disabled property will be taken into account at initialization time. For example:

<!-- This will create a disabled input -->
<label>
    <input type="text" disabled mbsc-input data-label="Initially disabled input" />
</label>
<!-- The following will not be disabled -->
<label>
    <input type="text" mbsc-input data-label="Initially not disabled input" />
</label>

Setting the value

Setting the input field value programmatically:

<label>
    <input id="my-input" type="text" mbsc-input data-label="My Input" />
</label>

document.getElementById('my-input').value = "myValue";

Changing options dynamically

The settings of the input can be changed dynamically using the setOptions method on the instance itself, or the global setOptions method.
Here is an example on how to change the disabled setting on an input:

<label>
    <input id="my-input" type="text" disabled mbsc-input data-label="My Input" />
</label>

// get the input element
const inputElement = document.getElementById('my-input');
// get the instance of the  component
const inputInstance = mobiscroll.getInst(inputElement);
// set the disabled setting to false
inputInstance.setOptions({ disabled: false })

Customizing the appearance

While the provided pre-built themes are enough in many use cases, most of the times on top of adapting to a specific platform, you'd also like to match a brand or color scheme. Mobiscroll provides various ways to achieve this:

• Create custom themes using the theme builder - the custom themes can be also built using out theme builder, on a graphical user interface, without any coding, or the need for Sass support in your project.
• Create custom themes using Sass - use this, if you need multiple themes with different color variatons, in case you have pages with different colors, or you'd like to users to customize the colors of your app.
• Override the Sass color variables - the straightforward way to change the colors in one place throughout the application.

Override the Sass Color Variables

A convenient way to customize the colors of the Mobiscroll components is to override the Sass color variables.

Let's say your branding uses a nice red accent color, and you'd like that color to appear on the Mobiscroll components as well, while still using platform specific themes (e.g. ios on iOS devices, material on Android devices, and mobiscroll on desktop). You can override the accent color for every theme:

$mbsc-ios-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-material-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-mobiscroll-accent: #e61d2a;

@import "~@mobiscroll/Javascript/dist/css/mobiscroll.javascript.scss"

You can also customize the colors on many levels:

1. Theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-material-background, $mbsc-ios-dark-text) are applied to all components in a theme. Complete list of variables here.
2. Component specific global variables (ex. $mbsc-card-background-light, $mbsc-listview-text-dark) are applied to all themes for a specific component.
3. Component and theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-ios-dark-form-background, $mbsc-material-input-text) are applied to a specific theme and a specific component.
