Description

FieldBlock is a reusable wrapper for building Field or Value components.

It shows surrounding elements through properties from FieldProps like label and error, and ensure that spacing between different fields work as required when put into surrounding components like Flex.Container or Card.

It can also be used to group multiple inner FieldBlock components, composing status (error) messages together as one component.

import { FieldBlock } from '@dnb/eufemia/extensions/forms'


const YourFieldComponent = () => {
  return (
    <FieldBlock label="Legend" info="Info at the bottom">
      <Flex.Container>
        <FieldBlock label="Field A">...</FieldBlock>
        <FieldBlock label="Field B">...</FieldBlock>
      </Flex.Container>
    </FieldBlock>
  )
}
