# UI Primitives

Spacedrive's UI is built on a set of reusable primitives from `@sd/ui`. These components provide consistent styling and behavior across the application.

## Design Principles

### Composition Over Configuration

Primitives are simple, composable building blocks rather than complex configured components.

```tsx theme={null}
// Complex configuration
<DataTable
  columns={...}
  data={...}
  filters={...}
  pagination={...}
/>

// Composable primitives
<div className="overflow-hidden rounded-lg border border-app-line">
  <table className="w-full">
    <thead className="bg-app-box">
      <tr>
        <th className="px-4 py-3 text-xs text-ink-dull">Name</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody className="divide-y divide-app-line">
      {data.map(item => (
        <tr className="bg-app-input/30">
          <td className="px-4 py-3 text-ink">{item.name}</td>
        </tr>
      ))}
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>
```

### Semantic Color Usage

All primitives use semantic color tokens, never raw Tailwind colors.

```tsx theme={null}
// Raw colors
<div className="bg-gray-800 text-gray-200">

// Semantic colors
<div className="bg-app-box text-ink">
```

### Consistent Patterns

Common patterns are standardized across primitives:

**Card Pattern:**

```tsx theme={null}
<div className="relative overflow-hidden rounded-2xl bg-sidebar/90 backdrop-blur-xl shadow-2xl">
	<div className="absolute top-0 h-px w-full bg-gradient-to-r from-transparent via-[#2D2D37]/60 to-transparent" />
	<div className="absolute bottom-0 h-px w-full bg-gradient-to-r from-transparent via-[#2D2D37]/60 to-transparent" />

	<div className="noise noise-faded noise-sm p-6">{/* Content */}</div>
</div>
```

**List Item Pattern:**

```tsx theme={null}
<div className="rounded-lg border border-app-line bg-app-input/30 p-4 hover:bg-app-input/40">
	{/* Content */}
</div>
```

**Table Pattern:**

```tsx theme={null}
<div className="overflow-hidden rounded-lg border border-app-line">
	<table className="w-full">
		<thead className="bg-app-box">
			<tr>
				<th className="px-4 py-3 text-xs font-medium text-gray-400">Column</th>
			</tr>
		</thead>
		<tbody className="divide-y divide-app-line">
			<tr className="bg-app-input/30 hover:bg-app-input/50">
				<td className="px-4 py-3 text-ink">Data</td>
			</tr>
		</tbody>
	</table>
</div>
```

## Core Primitives

### Button

Versatile button component with multiple variants and sizes.

```tsx theme={null}
import { Button } from '@sd/ui';

<Button variant="accent" size="md">
  Primary Action
</Button>

<Button variant="gray" size="sm">
  Secondary Action
</Button>

<Button variant="default" size="lg">
  Tertiary Action
</Button>
```

**Variants:**

* `default` - Transparent with border, hover/active states
* `gray` - App button background with hover/focus states
* `accent` - Accent blue background with white text
* `subtle` - Transparent border, subtle hover
* `outline` - Sidebar line border style
* `dotted` - Dashed border for add/create actions
* `colored` - Custom colored backgrounds (pass bg color class)
* `bare` - No styling whatsoever

**Sizes:**

* `xs` - Extra small (px-1.5 py-0.5, text-xs)
* `sm` - Small (px-2 py-0.5, text-sm) - default
* `md` - Medium (px-2.5 py-1.5, text-sm)
* `lg` - Large (px-3 py-1.5, text-md)
* `icon` - Square icon button (!p-1)

**Best Practice:** Wrap icons and text in flex containers to prevent stacking:

```tsx theme={null}
<Button className="flex items-center gap-2">
	<Icon size={16} weight="fill" />
	<span>Label</span>
</Button>
```

### Input

Form input with semantic styling and size variants.

```tsx theme={null}
import { Input, Label } from "@sd/ui";

<div>
	<Label>Username</Label>
	<Input placeholder="Enter username" size="lg" error={hasError} />
</div>;
```

**Variants:**

* `default` - Standard input with border and background
* `transparent` - Transparent background, no border on focus

**Sizes:**

* `xs` - 25px height
* `sm` - 30px height (default)
* `md` - 36px height
* `lg` - 42px height
* `xl` - 48px height

**Props:**

* `error` - Shows error state (red border/ring)
* `icon` - Icon component or React node
* `iconPosition` - `'left'` | `'right'` (default: `'left'`)
* `right` - React node to display on the right side
* `inputElementClassName` - Additional classes for the input element itself

**Additional Components:**

* `SearchInput` - Input with MagnifyingGlass icon pre-configured
* `PasswordInput` - Input with eye icon toggle for show/hide password
* `TextArea` - Multi-line text input with same styling system
* `Label` - Semantic label component with slug prop for htmlFor

### Form Components

React Hook Form integration with automatic validation display.

```tsx theme={null}
import { Form, InputField, z } from "@sd/ui/src/forms";
import { useForm } from "react-hook-form";
import { zodResolver } from "@hookform/resolvers/zod";

const schema = z.object({
	username: z.string().min(3),
	email: z.string().email(),
});

function MyForm() {
	const form = useForm({
		resolver: zodResolver(schema),
	});

	return (
		<Form form={form} onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
			<InputField
				name="username"
				label="Username"
				placeholder="Enter username"
			/>
			<InputField name="email" label="Email" type="email" />
			<Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
		</Form>
	);
}
```

### Switch

Toggle switch for boolean settings.

```tsx theme={null}
import { Switch } from "@sd/ui";

const [enabled, setEnabled] = useState(false);

<div className="flex items-center justify-between">
	<div>
		<div className="text-sm text-ink">Enable Feature</div>
		<div className="text-xs text-ink-dull">Description</div>
	</div>
	<Switch checked={enabled} onCheckedChange={setEnabled} />
</div>;
```

### ShinyToggle

Animated toggle component for switching between multiple options with a smooth glowing indicator.

```tsx theme={null}
import { ShinyToggle } from "@sd/ui";

const [view, setView] = useState<"grid" | "list">("grid");

<ShinyToggle
	value={view}
	onChange={setView}
	options={[
		{ value: "grid", label: "Grid", count: 42 },
		{ value: "list", label: "List", count: 42 },
	]}
/>;
```

**Features:**

* Smooth animated indicator using Framer Motion
* Gradient background with glow effect
* Optional count badges
* Type-safe with generics
* Fully accessible

**Props:**

* `value` - Current selected value (generic type T)
* `onChange` - Callback when selection changes
* `options` - Array of `{ value: T, label: ReactNode, count?: number }`
* `className` - Additional classes for the container

### DropdownMenu

Context menu and dropdown with Radix UI.

```tsx theme={null}
import { DropdownMenu } from "@sd/ui";

<DropdownMenu.Root trigger={<button>Open Menu</button>}>
	<DropdownMenu.Item
		label="Action"
		icon={IconComponent}
		onClick={handleClick}
	/>
	<DropdownMenu.Separator />
	<DropdownMenu.Item label="Delete" icon={TrashIcon} variant="danger" />
</DropdownMenu.Root>;
```

## Glassmorphism Effect

Spacedrive's signature glassmorphism effect combines backdrop blur, transparency, and gradient borders.

```tsx theme={null}
<div className="relative overflow-hidden rounded-2xl bg-sidebar/90 backdrop-blur-xl shadow-2xl">
	{/* Top gradient border */}
	<div className="absolute top-0 h-px w-full bg-gradient-to-r from-transparent via-[#2D2D37]/60 to-transparent" />

	{/* Bottom gradient border */}
	<div className="absolute bottom-0 h-px w-full bg-gradient-to-r from-transparent via-[#2D2D37]/60 to-transparent" />

	{/* Content with noise texture */}
	<div className="noise noise-faded noise-sm p-6">Content</div>
</div>
```

**Noise Variants:**

* `noise` - Base noise texture
* `noise-faded` - Faded intensity
* `noise-sm` - Small grain size

## Progress Bars

Consistent progress bar pattern for resource usage.

```tsx theme={null}
<div>
	<div className="mb-2 flex items-center justify-between text-xs">
		<span className="text-ink-dull">Storage</span>
		<span className="text-ink">45/100 GB</span>
	</div>
	<div className="h-2 overflow-hidden rounded-full bg-app-box">
		<div className="h-full bg-accent" style={{ width: "45%" }} />
	</div>
</div>
```

**Color by type:**

* Storage: `bg-accent` (blue)
* AI/Compute: `bg-purple-500`
* Bandwidth: `bg-green-500`
* Progress: `bg-accent`
* Success: `bg-green-400`

## Status Badges

Standard status badge pattern.

```tsx theme={null}
const STATUS_CONFIG = {
	running: { color: "text-green-400", bg: "bg-green-500/20" },
	stopped: { color: "text-gray-400", bg: "bg-gray-500/20" },
	error: { color: "text-red-400", bg: "bg-red-500/20" },
};

<div
	className={`flex items-center gap-1.5 rounded-full px-2.5 py-1 ${STATUS_CONFIG.running.bg}`}
>
	<div className="h-1.5 w-1.5 rounded-full bg-green-400" />
	<span className={`text-xs font-medium ${STATUS_CONFIG.running.color}`}>
		Running
	</span>
</div>;
```

## Empty States

Pattern for when lists/grids are empty.

```tsx theme={null}
<div className="rounded-lg border border-dashed border-app-line bg-app-box/50 p-12 text-center">
	<Icon size={48} weight="fill" className="mx-auto mb-3 text-ink-dull" />
	<h3 className="mb-1 text-lg font-semibold text-white">No items yet</h3>
	<p className="mb-4 text-sm text-ink-dull">
		Description of what would appear here
	</p>
	<Button variant="accent" size="lg">
		Create First Item
	</Button>
</div>
```

## Gradients

### Background Gradients

```tsx theme={null}
<div className="bg-gradient-to-br from-accent to-blue-600">
  Icon background
</div>

<div className="bg-gradient-to-b from-white to-gray-400 bg-clip-text text-transparent">
  Gradient text
</div>
```

### Border Gradients

```tsx theme={null}
<div className="h-px w-full bg-gradient-to-r from-transparent via-[#2D2D37]/60 to-transparent" />
```

## Typography Scale

Consistent text sizing across the app.

```tsx theme={null}
<h1 className="text-3xl font-bold text-ink">
  Page Title
</h1>

<h2 className="text-xl font-semibold text-white">
  Section Title
</h2>

<p className="text-sm text-ink-dull">
  Description text
</p>

<span className="text-xs text-ink-faint">
  Helper text
</span>
```

**Scale:**

* `text-xs` (12px) - Helper text, labels
* `text-sm` (14px) - Body text, descriptions
* `text-base` (16px) - Default body
* `text-lg` (18px) - Subheadings
* `text-xl` (20px) - Section titles
* `text-2xl` (24px) - Card titles
* `text-3xl` (30px) - Page titles

## Icons

Use Phosphor Icons with consistent sizing and weights.

```tsx theme={null}
import { Icon } from '@phosphor-icons/react';

<Icon size={16} weight="fill" />  // Buttons, small UI
<Icon size={20} weight="fill" />  // Medium UI elements
<Icon size={24} weight="fill" />  // Large icons
<Icon size={32} weight="fill" />  // Headers
<Icon size={48} weight="fill" />  // Empty states
```

**Weight Guidelines:**

* `regular` - Default, inactive states
* `fill` - Active states, buttons, emphasis
* `bold` - Strong emphasis

## Spacing Scale

Consistent spacing using Tailwind's scale.

**Common patterns:**

* Card padding: `p-6`
* Button padding: `px-3 py-1.5` (md), `px-2.5 py-1.5` (sm)
* Section spacing: `space-y-4` or `space-y-6`
* Grid gaps: `gap-4` or `gap-6`
* Icon-text gap: `gap-2` or `gap-3`

## Accessibility

### Color Contrast

All semantic colors meet WCAG AA standards:

* `text-ink` on `bg-app` - AAA
* `text-ink-dull` on `bg-app-box` - AA
* `text-ink-faint` on `bg-app-input` - AA (minimum)

### Focus States

Interactive elements include focus rings:

```tsx theme={null}
<button className="
  focus:outline-none
  focus:ring-2
  focus:ring-accent
  focus:ring-offset-2
  focus:ring-offset-app-box
">
```

### Keyboard Navigation

All interactive primitives support keyboard navigation out of the box via Radix UI.
