Form Input Variants and Validation in Framer

Form inputs need more than just a simple focus effect. This tutorial shows you how to build professional form components with animated labels, custom validation states, and real-time error handling. You'll learn to create inputs that move labels out of the way on focus, validate email addresses on the fly, and provide clear visual feedback at every step. Starting with a basic email input, you'll build a component with four distinct states: a default state with placeholder text, a focus state where the label animates above the input, a blur state that keeps the label in place when content exists, and an invalid state that highlights errors in real time. The tutorial covers component creation, absolute positioning for smooth animations, and Framer's built-in validation logic that revalidates as users type. 00:00 Intro 00:05 What you're building: input states and validation 00:16 Setting up the form and default state styling 00:27 Adjusting layout and label positioning 00:46 Creating the focus variant 01:02 Adding blur and invalid variants 01:18 Styling borders for smooth animations 01:34 Adding focus interactions 01:49 Why you need a blur state 02:20 Handling empty vs filled blur logic 02:50 Adding validation for invalid input 03:25 Fixing the invalid state with revalidation 04:18 Wrap up Topics covered: form validation, input states, interactive forms 🌞 Start for free: https://framer.link/yt 📚 Learn more at: https://framer.link/yt-academy 💎 Join the Community: https://framer.link/yt-community 🎉 Follow on X: https://framer.link/yt-x
