Checkout placeholder
====================

[](#checkout-placeholder)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This module is designed to visually change all field pairs (label + field) so that the label is placed inside the field (As HTML Placeholder incl. "required-entry" mark "\*"). Additionally, you can decide if you want to hide labels, define a custom required mark, hide required marks, customize placeholder text and mark fields as optional.

Good to know
------------

[](#good-to-know)

Most of the fields in the checkout are collected via PHP and rendered dynamically via templates. For example, all input fields via the template `vendor/magento/module-ui/view/frontend/web/templates/form/element/input.html`. For all these dynamic fields we have created a [LayoutProcessor](https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/howdoi/checkout/checkout_custom_checkbox.html) that provides the features described below.

However, there are also fields that cannot be influenced via a LayoutProcessor. In a standard checkout these would be the fields:

- email
- password
- password confirmation (if available)

These fields are created together in the knockout template `Magento_Checkout/template/form/element/email` and are also not prepared for HTML placeholders by default. For these fields we provide at the moment only knockout templates overrides, which ensure that always (after installation) the label is used as a placeholder. Including the static required mark "\*".

As soon as time or a customer order allows, we would provide these fields with full features as well.
