​
Value Resolution

The component resolves the input value in the following order:
  1. Old input (from validation errors)
  2. Model value (if model is provided)
  3. Default value (if specified)
  4. Empty string

​
HTML5 Email Validation

The email input type provides built-in browser validation:
  • Validates email format automatically
  • Shows browser-specific validation messages
  • Works with HTML5 form validation API
  • Can be combined with server-side Laravel validation

​
Validation Error Display

When validation fails, the input automatically:
  • Adds the is-invalid Bootstrap class
  • Displays error messages below the input (if showErrors is true)
  • Preserves user input through Laravel’s old input

​
Implementation Details

The Email component:
  • Extends the base Input component with type set to email
  • Supports all standard HTML input attributes via attribute merging
  • Leverages browser’s native email validation
  • Integrates with Laravel’s validation error bag
  • Works seamlessly with Laravel’s old input helper
