Background
OSM.org currently lacks a standardized Field component to group form elements like inputs, labels, help texts, and error messages. Without a consistent Field wrapper, forms have inconsistent spacing, accessibility issues, and varied visual hierarchy across the platform.
Description
The Field component acts as a container for form controls, managing the layout and association between labels, input elements, help texts, and validation messages. It ensures proper accessibility with ARIA attributes and consistent spacing, making forms easier to understand and interact with.
User stories
- As a user, I want form inputs to be clearly labeled and provide contextual help so I can complete forms confidently.
- As a designer, I want a unified Field component to maintain consistent form layouts across the platform.
- As a developer, I need a reusable Field component that handles accessibility and error states automatically.
