## Usage

```tsx showLineNumbers
import {
  InputGroup,
  InputGroupAddon,
  InputGroupButton,
  InputGroupInput,
  InputGroupText,
  InputGroupTextarea,
} from "@/components/ui/input-group"
```

```tsx showLineNumbers
<InputGroup>
  <InputGroupInput placeholder="Search..." />
  <InputGroupAddon>
    <SearchIcon />
  </InputGroupAddon>
</InputGroup>
```

## Composition

Use the following composition to build an `InputGroup`:

```text
InputGroup
├── InputGroupInput or InputGroupTextarea
├── InputGroupAddon
├── InputGroupButton
└── InputGroupText
```

## Align

Use the `align` prop on `InputGroupAddon` to position the addon relative to the input.

<Callout>
  For proper focus management, `InputGroupAddon` should always be placed after
  `InputGroupInput` or `InputGroupTextarea` in the DOM. Use the `align` prop to
  visually position the addon.
</Callout>

### inline-start

Use `align="inline-start"` to position the addon at the start of the input. This is the default.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-inline-start"
  previewClassName="h-48"
/>

### inline-end

Use `align="inline-end"` to position the addon at the end of the input.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-inline-end"
  previewClassName="h-48"
/>

### block-start

Use `align="block-start"` to position the addon above the input.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-block-start"
  previewClassName="h-96"
/>

### block-end

Use `align="block-end"` to position the addon below the input.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-block-end"
  previewClassName="h-[26rem]"
/>

## Examples

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-icon"

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-text"
  previewClassName="h-80"
/>

### Button

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-button"
  previewClassName="h-72"
/>

### Kbd

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-kbd"
  previewClassName="h-40"
/>

### Dropdown

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-dropdown"
  previewClassName="h-56"
/>

### Spinner

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"

### Textarea

### Custom Input

Add the `data-slot="input-group-control"` attribute to your custom input for automatic focus state handling.

Here's an example of a custom resizable textarea from a third-party library.

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-custom"
  previewClassName="h-56"
/>

## RTL

<ComponentPreview
  styleName="base-nova"
  name="input-group-rtl"
  direction="rtl"
  previewClassName="h-[30rem]"
/>

## API Reference

### InputGroup

The main component that wraps inputs and addons.

| Prop        | Type     | Default |
| ----------- | -------- | ------- |
| `className` | `string` |         |

```tsx
<InputGroup>
  <InputGroupInput />
  <InputGroupAddon />
</InputGroup>
```

### InputGroupAddon

Displays icons, text, buttons, or other content alongside inputs.

<Callout icon={<IconInfoCircle />} title="Focus Navigation">
  For proper focus navigation, the `InputGroupAddon` component should be placed
  after the input. Set the `align` prop to position the addon.
</Callout>

| Prop        | Type                                                             | Default          |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| `align`     | `"inline-start" \| "inline-end" \| "block-start" \| "block-end"` | `"inline-start"` |
| `className` | `string`                                                         |                  |

```tsx
<InputGroupAddon align="inline-end">
  <SearchIcon />
</InputGroupAddon>
```

**For `<InputGroupInput />`, use the `inline-start` or `inline-end` alignment. For `<InputGroupTextarea />`, use the `block-start` or `block-end` alignment.**

The `InputGroupAddon` component can have multiple `InputGroupButton` components and icons.

```tsx
<InputGroupAddon>
  <InputGroupButton>Button</InputGroupButton>
  <InputGroupButton>Button</InputGroupButton>
</InputGroupAddon>
```

### InputGroupButton

Displays buttons within input groups.

| Prop        | Type                                                                          | Default   |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| `size`      | `"xs" \| "icon-xs" \| "sm" \| "icon-sm"`                                      | `"xs"`    |
| `variant`   | `"default" \| "destructive" \| "outline" \| "secondary" \| "ghost" \| "link"` | `"ghost"` |
| `className` | `string`                                                                      |           |

```tsx
<InputGroupButton>Button</InputGroupButton>
<InputGroupButton size="icon-xs" aria-label="Copy">
  <CopyIcon />
</InputGroupButton>
```

### InputGroupInput

Replacement for `<Input />` when building input groups. This component has the input group styles pre-applied and uses the unified `data-slot="input-group-control"` for focus state handling.

| Prop        | Type     | Default |
| ----------- | -------- | ------- |
| `className` | `string` |         |

All other props are passed through to the underlying `<Input />` component.

```tsx
<InputGroup>
  <InputGroupInput placeholder="Enter text..." />
  <InputGroupAddon>
    <SearchIcon />
  </InputGroupAddon>
</InputGroup>
```

### InputGroupTextarea

Replacement for `<Textarea />` when building input groups. This component has the textarea group styles pre-applied and uses the unified `data-slot="input-group-control"` for focus state handling.

| Prop        | Type     | Default |
| ----------- | -------- | ------- |
| `className` | `string` |         |

All other props are passed through to the underlying `<Textarea />` component.

```tsx
<InputGroup>
  <InputGroupTextarea placeholder="Enter message..." />
  <InputGroupAddon align="block-end">
    <InputGroupButton>Send</InputGroupButton>
  </InputGroupAddon>
</InputGroup>
```
