Modifiers of the block

type modifier

Acceptable values:'password', 'search'.

Use case: BEMJSON.

This modifier changes types of the text fields.

If the type modifier is not set, the input block is a common text field by default.

{
    block : 'input',
    mods : { theme : 'islands', size : 'm' },
    placeholder : 'Enter your name'
}

Password field (type modifier with password value)

Use to create the specialized text fields for a password entry. For security reasons, the password field does not show the characters that the user types. Instead, the field displays the character different from the one typed such as an asterisk '*' (depends on a browser).

{
    block : 'input',
    mods : { theme : 'islands', size: 'm', type : 'password' },
    placeholder : 'Enter the password'
}

Search field (type modifier with search value)

Use to create the search field.

{
    block : 'input',
    mods : { theme : 'islands', size : 'm', type : 'search' },
    placeholder : 'Enter your question'
}

width modifier

Acceptable value:'available'.

Use cases: BEMJSON.

Use to set the maximum available width to the text field.

{
    block : 'input',

    mods : { theme : 'islands', size : 'm', 'has-clear' : true },
    val : 'Hello!'
}

disabled modifier

Acceptable value:true.

Use cases: BEMJSON, JS.

The modifier makes the block inactive. The disabled block is visible but not available for user actions.

{
    block : 'input',
    mods : { theme : 'islands', size : 'm', disabled : true },
    placeholder : 'Enter your name'

    placeholder : 'Enter your name'

theme modifier

Acceptable value:'islands'.

Use case: BEMJSON.

The modifier gives the block a custom design.

The islands theme requires the size modifier.

    mods : { theme : 'islands', size: 'm', type : 'search' },
    placeholder : 'Enter your question'
}

size modifier
