Input Text The p-input-text component provides a versatile, user‑friendly interface for entering freeform text. It supports direct keyboard input and includes start and end slots to allow flexible integration of icons, buttons, or other content within the input field. A label is a caption which informs the user what information a particular form field is asking for. The p-input-text component can be used with or without a label, but it's recommended to keep the label visible for better accessibility whenever possible. When used without a label, it's mandatory to provide a descriptive label text for screen readers. While a placeholder is optional but recommended to be set whenever bits of example content or hints shall be shown to give the user visual cues to fill out the form.

Global settingsThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
