Hi. Can you assign to me? And let's me know detail about help text, validation styles. Thanks !!!

Hey @phanlyhuynh sure, thanks! 😊

Validation
I didn't have a specific way in mind but the user should be able to easily add passed and failure validation text and styling to form components. Two goals you want to aim for are

• (1) simplicity, especially for the user and
• (2) does it appear to work with the list of components we have currently produced for the UI package

We don't need to show examples in the online style guide with every component but the user shouldn't need to do any additional significant css work or resort to any css hacks to make a form component and help text or validation text flow reasonably well.

A good place to look would be other React component libraries (I listed a few in the other issue you are working #15).

React Bootstrap for instance here just uses some simple React Hooks to determine if the form input passes form.checkValidity() then passes validated as a prop to the Form component and a .was-validated class.

A similar solution would be absolutely fine I think.

Help Text
I'm just using React Bootstrap just as an example again but they have a fairly simple implementation of help text too which might be worthwhile taking a look at here.

As for colour and style for both, I'll leave it up to you.

I'll assign you, thanks again for helping. Let me know if you want some further guidance.
