CSS :required Pseudo Clas
The :required selector selects those elements that are required. The :required selector selects form elements that have the required attribute set. Before submission forms can indicate which fields should have valid data which allows the user to avoid the unnecessary weight.
It only applies to the form elements <input>, <select> and <textarea>. The :required selector can be linked with pseudo-elements (e.g. ::after) and other selectors (e.g. :hover). Non-required elements can be customized with the :optional pseudo class along with :valid and :invalid which are activated when a form field’s data requirements are met.
