The Input component is a versatile UI element used to capture user input, such as text or numbers. It offers various customization options and states to ensure a seamless user experience in your applications.
Anatomy
The anatomy of an input component includes the input field itself, a container to frame the input, and optional elements like labels and icons that assist in user interaction and information conveyance.
Properties
Input components typically have properties like type (e.g., text fields, checkboxes), labels, placeholders, value, read-only and disabled states, required fields, validation rules, and events. These components offer a means to capture user data, provide feedback, and ensure accessibility and security while enhancing the overall user experience.
Status
Default input component is the standard, regular input field for user data entry.
Error input is an input field that indicates an error, often with a highlighted border or error message, when user input is incorrect or doesn't meet validation criteria.

States
Default input state is component in its initial state, ready for user interaction.
Hover input is the appearance of an input component when a user hovers their mouse cursor over it, which can include visual changes like a highlighted background.
Fill input is component with content or data already filled in, which users can edit or modify as needed.
Fill-Hover input is a combination of the "Fill Input" and "Hover Input" states, indicating the appearance when the cursor hovers over a filled input.
Press input is how an input component looks when a user clicks or presses on it, often indicating that it's currently being interacted with.

Size
Small input is a smaller-sized input component, typically used for compact forms or in specific design contexts.
Medium input is a standard-sized input component, suitable for most data entry scenarios.
Large input is a larger-sized input field, often used when more space is needed for user input or for a prominent display.

Disabled
Disabled input is an input component that cannot be interacted with by the user, often used when certain conditions or permissions prevent input.

Layout & Spacing
Layout and spacing in input components influence user interface clarity. Consistent spacing and alignment help organize input fields, leading to a more user-friendly and visually cohesive design.
Light & Dark Mode
Supporting light and dark modes is essential for user interface adaptability. Proper color choices and contrast adjustments ensure readability and comfort for users in different lighting conditions.
Accessibility
Input components must prioritize accessibility for users with disabilities. This includes clear labels, logical tab order, color contrast, ARIA roles, and keyboard navigation, fostering inclusivity and usability for all.
