# Other tasks

## Task 4.1: Create a view element for `input`

Create view element for `input`, which is a single line text input, in contrast with a `textarea`, which is a text box.

Use a similar API for the `Input` module as is used in `Textarea`.

The HTML can look like this:

```
    div [ class "form-element" ]
        [ label [ class "label" ]
            [ span [ class "label-text" ] [ text "Label" ]
            , Html.input
                [ class "input"
                , classList [ ( "error", True ) ]
                , value "Some text"
                , onInput msg
                ]
                []
            ,
            div [ role "alert", ariaLive "assertive" ]
                [ p [ class "error-message" ] [ text "Error message" ] ]
            ]
        ]
```

## Task 4.2 Add a username to a comment (using Input)

The endpoint for POST-ing a comment also supports a `"username"` field, which is a string.

## Task 4.3

Make the username, and the comment text, a form, using the way to make forms from [this repo](https://github.com/akselw/elm-skjema-demo/tags). You can check out the tags in that repo to see a progression of how the form is built.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://aksel.gitbook.io/elm-workshop/task-4.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
