Find your order

Guest checkout is the majority of orders on most storefronts, and the usual tracking page asks those buyers to sign in to an account they were never offered.

On the confirmation email, top right. Starts with a #.

Both have to match. It is what stops an order number being a lookup key for anyone.

/**
 * <OrderLookupForm> — Order tracking for the guest who never made an account, which is most of them.
 *
 * Guest checkout is the majority of orders on most storefronts, and the
 * usual order-tracking page asks precisely those buyers to sign into an
 * account they were never offered. The layout problem is authenticating
 * someone who has no credentials.
 *
 * The obvious wrong answer is the order number alone. That is a bare
 * identifier, often sequential, and a lookup keyed on it is an enumeration
 * of every customer's delivery address. Two fields that must match is the
 * cheap correct answer: the number is the key and the email is the proof.
 *
 * That reasoning belongs in the hint, and it is there — "it is what stops an
 * order number being a lookup key for anyone" — because the second field
 * otherwise reads as pointless friction to the person typing it.
 *
 * Accessibility: `htmlFor`/`id` association with the hints on
 * `aria-describedby`, so "on the confirmation email, top right" is announced
 * with the field rather than after it. And the `role="status"` region is in
 * the DOM empty from the start — on a lookup form the result IS the status
 * message, so a region that is never announced is a form that appears to do
 * nothing.
 *
 * A real implementation should return the same message and timing whether
 * or not the pair matched. The demo defaults to `idle` and resolves on
 * submit, which is the success path; the failure path is a throw.

Before you paste

  • Styling is Tailwind utility classes on semantic tokens (bg-card, text-muted-foreground) — it inherits your theme instead of overriding it.
  • Nothing to install. No component library, no icon package.
  • Every prop has a default, so it renders standalone before you wire it up.

Where it goes

Drop it at components/order-lookup-form.tsx and import it where you need the section:

import { OrderLookupForm } from '@/components/order-lookup-form'

Customize

2 of this block’s props are simple enough to drive from here. Change them and the block below re-renders — it is the same component whose source is above, not a mock of it. Everything else it accepts is in the table underneath.

Props

Read out of the component’s own type and signature, so this cannot drift from the source below. Every prop has a default — the component renders standalone before you pass it anything.

introstring—
submitLabelstring"Find it"

Not using React?

The same block rendered once to markup, wrapped as a file your framework compiles. Tailwind classes are framework-agnostic, so the design transfers intact — the behaviour does not.

This block is interactive. The markup below is its initial state with the event handlers stripped — you will need to re-wire the behaviour in your framework.

order-lookup-form.html
<!--
  Order Lookup Form — markup from the Hoverlab catalog.

  This is the block rendered once to HTML and wrapped as a component
  file. It is not a port of the React source: the Tailwind classes carry
  the design, which is the part that took the work, and they are the same
  in every framework.

  This block is interactive in React and the handlers are NOT here.
  Buttons, toggles and menus render in their initial state and do
  nothing until you wire them up.

  • This is rendered HTML, not a translation of the React source. The Tailwind classes carry the design and work in any framework.
  • It is one frame: the component in its initial state, with no props applied beyond the defaults.
  • This block is interactive in React — toggles, menus or form state. None of that survives here; the markup is the closed/default state and the handlers are gone. Re-wire them in your own framework.
  • Requires Tailwind, and the design tokens the classes reference (bg-card, text-muted-foreground, and so on). The template ZIPs ship a globals.css that defines them.

What each framework gets across the whole catalog — effects convert properly; this rung is markup.
