Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Add a label for a field from {{calculator}}. This associates the label with the element which is better for accessibility. It also means if you click on the label, it selects the field in question.

This template depends on mediawiki:Gadget-calculator.js

Generally you just set the for parameter to the id of your calculator widget.

e.g.

{{calculator|type=checkbox|id=mycheck}} {{calculator label|Label for checkbox|for=mycheck}}

Label for checkbox

Codex mode

If the codex parameter is set, then this label will be displayed in codex mode. In this mode you can also use the optional description and flag parameters.

See https://doc.wikimedia.org/codex/latest/components/demos/label.html#guidelines for guidelines on how best to use codex labels.

As an example:

{{Calculator label|codex=true|description=Short description text|label=Label text|flag=(optional)|for=foo}}
<div class="cdx-text-input">{{calculator|type=text|class=cdx-text-input__input|default=42|id=foo}}</div>

Produces:

Label text (optional)Short description text

42
