```js script
import { html } from '@mdjs/mdjs-preview';
import '@lion/ui/define/lion-input.js';
import '@lion/ui/define/lion-button.js';
```
## Label
Can be provided via the `label` attribute, but the slot can be used to change the html and css of the label.
A label is always needed to provide an accessible user experience.
```js preview-story
export const label = () => html`
<lion-input>
<label slot="label"> Label with <b>html tag</b> inside </label>
</lion-input>
`;
```
## Input additions
When using an addition to the input you could add `data-label` to add the content connected to the input via `aria-labelledby` or add `data-description` to connect it via the `aria-describedby` when the content is relevant for the screen-reader user to fill in the form field. This won't be necessary for a search icon, since that should already be clear via the label, but it is relevant in case a unit is added behind the input field.
### Prefix
The prefix is used for addons to the input like a minus button in the `input-stepper`.
```html preview-story
<lion-input label="Prefix">
<div slot="prefix" data-description>[prefix]</div>
</lion-input>
```
### Suffix
The suffix can be used for addons to the input like a calculator, datepicker or addressbook.
In these cases a button with an icon is used.
```html preview-story
<lion-input label="Suffix">
<div slot="suffix" data-description>[suffix]</div>
</lion-input>
```
### Before
> Before slot does not have an active use case yet.
```html preview-story
<lion-input label="Before">
<div slot="before" data-description>[before]</div>
</lion-input>
```
### After
The after is mostly used to add a unit to the input field, such as a currency or percentage.
```html preview-story
<lion-input label="Amount">
<div slot="after" data-description>EUR</div>
</lion-input>
<lion-input label="Percentage">
<div slot="after" data-description>%</div>
</lion-input>
```
### Examples
Due to our custom inputs being Web Components, it is possible to put HTML content inside an input. For example if you want to add a button as a prefix or suffix.
```html preview-story
<lion-input label="Prefix and suffix">
<lion-button slot="prefix">prefix</lion-button>
<lion-button slot="suffix">suffix</lion-button>
</lion-input>
```
