These articles form a series focusing on RiotJS paired with BeerCSS, designed to guide you through creating components and mastering best practices for building production-ready applications. I assume you have a foundational understanding of Riot; however, feel free to refer to the documentation if needed: https://riot.js.org/documentation/

This article covers how to create an Riot input component, using the Material Design CSS BeerCSS. Before starting, make sure you have a base application running, or read my previous article Setup Riot + BeerCSS + Vite.

This is a very current point. Instead of having components for everything, why not directly use semantic HTML? You can have dialogs, buttons, cards among others, writing clean and unified HTML throughout the system.

Next I spruced up my form's visuals a bit by heading to Google Fonts and finding one that had camping vibes - eventually landing on Amatic SC. Then I had the wild idea of making the form look like a piece of paper, so that I could make the submit button fold the paper up into an envelope or paper airplane and fly off screen if it was submitted successfully (This was EXTREMELY high hopes and I didn't even get around to trying to start this animation in the time I allotted myself 😂). I started by trying to find a crumpled paper look on sites like Hero Patterns, but eventually found myself on this codepen:
