# `Bylaw.HTML.Check.RequireInputAutocomplete`
[🔗](https://github.com/ryanzidago/bylaw/blob/v0.1.0-alpha.2/lib/bylaw/html/check/require_input_autocomplete.ex#L1)

Validates that rendered input fields define a non-blank `autocomplete` attribute.

This check inspects rendered `<input>` elements that accept user-entered
values and flags fields without an explicit autocomplete purpose. Use a
specific autocomplete token where possible, or `autocomplete="off"` when a
field intentionally should not be autofilled.

## Examples

Bad:

    <input type="email" name="user[email]">

Why this is bad:

The browser and assistive technology cannot identify the expected input
purpose from the rendered markup.

Better:

    <input type="email" name="user[email]" autocomplete="email">

Why this is better:

The field exposes its input purpose in a machine-readable way.

Bad:

    <input name="search" autocomplete="">

Why this is bad:

A blank autocomplete value is equivalent to leaving the purpose unspecified.

Better:

    <input name="search" autocomplete="off">

Why this is better:

The rendered markup documents that autocomplete was considered and disabled
intentionally.

## Notes

This check ignores input controls where autocomplete is not meaningful:
`button`, `checkbox`, `file`, `hidden`, `image`, `radio`, `reset`, and
`submit`. Inputs without a `type` attribute are treated as text inputs.

The check only verifies that a non-blank `autocomplete` value is present. It
does not validate autocomplete token grammar or judge whether the chosen token
matches the field's semantic purpose.

This check runs on rendered HTML, so dynamic `autocomplete` attributes are
evaluated after rendering.

## Options

This check has no check-specific options. Add the module directly to the
explicit checks list:

    Bylaw.HTML.Check.RequireInputAutocomplete

## Usage

Add this module to the explicit check list passed through `Bylaw.HTML`.
See `Bylaw.HTML` for the full rendered HTML validation setup.

# `validate`

```elixir
@spec validate(Bylaw.HTML.Check.context()) :: Bylaw.HTML.Check.result()
```

Implements the `Bylaw.HTML.Check` validation callback.
