Hi there 👋 Indeed you can’t bind the input type dynamically. the way I see it you have 2 choices: - You create a class with some common styles and you apply it to any input you will use - You create one master input component, and inside you show or hide them dynamically/ conditionally depending on your use case We’ve had some community members discussing this idea in the past: > [@Bindable input type?](https://community.weweb.io/t/bindable-input-type/6953/3): > > I’m assuming you mean one div per possible input type and using conditional rendering based on a property to only render the div of the corresponding type? That’s the solution I came up with as well but it’s definitely not ideal. > [@Set input type dynamically](https://community.weweb.io/t/set-input-type-dynamically/9921/6): > > I just want to set the type if it is number, answer, email, decimal. This is not possible dynamically so far. I believe it is not a good option to put them all inside the component and render conditionally. If there was a dynamic option in the type like there are in other options, it would solve the problem.
