# tw-react-components

React component library built with TailwindCSS for dashboards and applications.

## Installation & Setup

```bash
# Using bun
bun add tw-react-components

# Using npm
npm install tw-react-components

# Using yarn
yarn add tw-react-components

# Using pnpm
pnpm add tw-react-components
```

**tailwind.config.js:**

```js
module.exports = {
  content: ['./node_modules/tw-react-components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}'],
  plugins: [
    require('@tailwindcss/forms'),
    require('tailwindcss-animate'),
    require('tw-react-components/tailwindcss-plugin'),
  ],
};
```

**Import CSS:**

```css
@import 'tw-react-components/index.css';
```

## Core Types

```typescript
type Size = 'small' | 'medium';
type Color = 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'slate' | 'gray' | 'red' | 'green' | 'blue' | /* ...all Tailwind colors */;
```

## Quick Reference

### Button

```tsx
import { Button } from 'tw-react-components';

<Button>Default</Button>
<Button variant="outlined" color="blue">Outlined</Button>
<Button prefixIcon={SaveIcon} loading>Saving...</Button>
```

See [references/components/button.md](references/components/button.md) for full API.

### Form Controls

Two patterns: `FormInputs.*` with react-hook-form, or standalone components.

```tsx
// With react-hook-form
<FormProvider {...form}>
  <FormInputs.Text name="username" label="Username" required />
  <FormInputs.Select name="country" items={countries} search />
</FormProvider>

// Standalone
<TextInput value={text} onChange={(e) => setText(e.target.value)} />
<SelectInput items={items} value={selected} onChange={setSelected} />
```

See [references/components/form-controls.md](references/components/form-controls.md) for full API.

### Dialog

```tsx
<Dialog open={isOpen} onOpenChange={setIsOpen}>
  <Dialog.Trigger asChild><Button>Open</Button></Dialog.Trigger>
  <Dialog.Content>
    <Dialog.Title>Title</Dialog.Title>
    <p>Content</p>
  </Dialog.Content>
</Dialog>

<ConfirmDialog open={open} title="Delete?" onConfirm={handleDelete} onClose={close}>
  Are you sure?
</ConfirmDialog>
```

See [references/components/dialog.md](references/components/dialog.md) for FormDialog, PdfViewerDialog, etc.

```tsx
<DataTable
  rows={data}
  columns={{
    id: { header: 'ID', field: 'id' },
    name: { header: 'Name', field: 'name' },
  }}
  sorting={{ sorting, onSortingChange: setSorting }}
  pagination={{ currentPage, setCurrentPage, totalItems, pageSize }}
  actions={[

// Class merging
<div className={cn('base', condition && 'conditional')} />;

// Date formatting
getDisplayDate(new Date(), { format: 'LL' }); // "January 31, 2026"

// Comparison
compareDates(date1, date2); // -1, 0, or 1

// Empty check
isEmpty(null); // true
isEmpty(''); // true
isEmpty([]); // true

## Common Patterns

### Form with Validation

```tsx
<FormInputs.Email
  name="email"
  label="Email"
  required
  validate={(value) => value.includes('@') || 'Invalid email'}
/>
```

### DataTable Custom Rendering

```tsx
columns={{
  status: {
    header: 'Status',
    field: 'status',
    render: (item) => <Badge color={item.active ? 'green' : 'gray'}>{item.status}</Badge>,
  },
}}
```

### Conditional DataTable Actions

```tsx
actions={[
  { icon: TrashIcon, hide: (item) => !item.canDelete, onClick: handleDelete },
]}
```
