Quick example

import { render, Box, Text } from '@pilates/react';
import { TextInput, Select, Spinner } from '@pilates/widgets';
import { useState } from 'react';

function Wizard() {
  const [name, setName] = useState('');
  const [size, setSize] = useState<'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | null>(null);

  if (!name) {
    return (
      <Box flexDirection="column">
        <Text>What's your name?</Text>
        <TextInput value={name} onChange={setName} onSubmit={(v) => setName(v)} />
      </Box>
    );
  }

  if (!size) {
    return (
      <Box flexDirection="column">
        <Text>Hi {name}. Pick a size:</Text>
        <Select
          items={[
            { label: 'Small', value: 'sm' as const },
            { label: 'Medium', value: 'md' as const },
            { label: 'Large', value: 'lg' as const },
          ]}
          onSelect={(item) => setSize(item.value)}
        />
      </Box>
    );
  }

  return <Text>Done — {name}, {size}.</Text>;
}

render(<Wizard />);

<TextInput>

<TextInput
  value={value}                    // required, controlled
  onChange={setValue}              // required
  onSubmit={(v) => ...}            // optional, fires on Enter
  placeholder="Type something"     // optional
  mask="*"                         // optional, for passwords (single character)
  focus={true}                     // optional, default true (ignored when focusId is set)
  focusId="name"                   // optional — Tab cycling via useFocus
  autoFocus                        // optional — paired with focusId
/>
Copy

Key bindings: printable chars insert at cursor; ←/→ move; Home/End (or Ctrl+A/Ctrl+E) jump; Backspace/Delete delete; Ctrl+U/Ctrl+K clear to start/end; Ctrl+W delete previous word; Enter calls onSubmit.

Paste: xterm bracketed paste (DEC mode 2004) is consumed via usePaste — the entire pasted block inserts at the cursor as a single onChange call. Newlines and carriage returns are stripped (single-line input). Emoji / ZWJ clusters in the paste survive intact.

<TextArea>

Multi-line editor. Auto-grows vertically with content (no fixed-height / scrolling viewport in v1 — wrap the textarea in a <Box> to constrain visually).

<TextArea
  value={value}                    // required, controlled (may contain '\n')
  onChange={setValue}              // required
  placeholder="Notes…"             // optional
  focus={true}                     // optional, default true (ignored when focusId is set)
  focusId="notes"                  // optional — Tab cycling via useFocus
  autoFocus                        // optional — paired with focusId
/>
Copy

Key bindings: printable chars insert at cursor; Enter inserts a newline; ←/→ move across line boundaries; ↑/↓ move to prev/next line at the same column (clamped to line length); Home/End (or Ctrl+A/Ctrl+E) jump to start/end of the current line; Backspace removes the previous grapheme (joins lines when at column 0); Delete removes the next grapheme (joins lines when at end-of-line); Ctrl+U/Ctrl+K clear current line to start/end; Ctrl+W deletes the previous word.

Paste: preserves newlines verbatim — multi-line clipboard contents land as multiple lines.

Tab inside the textarea: <FocusProvider> (auto-installed by render()) eats Tab for focus cycling. To disable focus cycling and let Tab insert a literal tab character, call useFocusManager().disableFocus() while the textarea is focused (or wrap the area in a custom <FocusProvider autoTab={false}>).

<Select>

<Select
  items={[
    { label: 'Apple', value: 'apple' },
    { label: 'Banana', value: 'banana' },
    { label: 'Disabled', value: 'd', disabled: true },
  ]}
  onSelect={(item) => ...}         // required, fires on Enter
  onHighlight={(item) => ...}      // optional, fires on cursor move
  initialIndex={0}                 // optional, default 0
  focus={true}                     // optional, default true (ignored when focusId is set)
  focusId="size"                   // optional — Tab cycling via useFocus
  autoFocus                        // optional — paired with focusId
  indicator={...}                  // optional, custom marker function
/>
Copy

Key bindings: ↑/↓ move (skipping disabled, with wrap-around); Home/End jump to first/last enabled item; Enter calls onSelect (no-op if disabled).

<MultiSelect>

<MultiSelect
  items={[
    { label: 'Apple', value: 'apple' },
    { label: 'Banana', value: 'banana' },
    { label: 'Cherry', value: 'cherry' },
  ]}
  selectedKeys={selected}             // Set<string>, controlled
  onChange={setSelected}              // (next: Set<string>) => void — fires on Space toggle
  onSubmit={(items) => ...}           // optional, fires on Enter, receives selected items
  onHighlight={(item) => ...}         // optional
  initialIndex={0}                    // optional
  focus={true}                        // optional, default true (ignored when focusId is set)
  focusId="checks"                    // optional — Tab cycling via useFocus
  autoFocus                           // optional — paired with focusId
  indicator={...}                     // optional, custom marker per row
/>
Copy

Key bindings: ↑/↓ move highlight (skip disabled, wrap-around); Home/End jump to first/last enabled; Space toggles the highlighted item's selection; Enter calls onSubmit(selectedItems). The selection set is keyed by item.key ?? String(item.value), and the array passed to onSubmit is ordered to match items.

<Tabs>

Horizontal tab strip. Renders only the strip itself — the panel body is wired by the consumer based on activeKey.

<Tabs
  items={[
    { key: 'overview', label: 'Overview' },
    { key: 'logs', label: 'Logs' },
    { key: 'settings', label: 'Settings', disabled: true },
  ]}
  activeKey={active}                  // controlled
  onChange={setActive}                // (key: string) => void
  focus={true}                        // optional, default true (ignored when focusId is set)
  focusId="primary-tabs"              // optional — Tab cycling via useFocus
  autoFocus                           // optional — paired with focusId
/>

{active === 'overview' && <OverviewPanel />}
{active === 'logs'     && <LogsPanel />}
Copy

Visual: active tab renders as [Label] in cyan + bold; inactive tabs render as Label; disabled tabs render dim. Tabs are separated by a single space.

Key bindings: ←/→ cycle the active tab (skip disabled, wrap-around); Home/End jump to the first / last enabled tab. Activation is immediate — no separate highlight + commit step like <Select>. If activeKey matches no item (e.g., consumer passed a stale key), the next arrow press jumps to the first / last enabled tab.

<Table>

Tabular data display: bold headers, a horizontal divider, then one row per record.

<Table
  columns={[
    { key: 'name', header: 'Name', width: 20 },
    { key: 'age',  header: 'Age',  width: 4, align: 'right' },
    { key: 'role', header: 'Role', width: 16,
      render: (val, row) => `${val} (${row.team})` },
  ]}
  rows={people}
/>
Copy

Each column declares:

Layout: values longer than the column width are truncated to width − 1 cells with a trailing …. Wide-character values (CJK, emoji) are measured via stringWidth from @pilates/core so truncation never overshoots a wide grapheme.

Out of v1: vertical separators between columns, multi-line cells (wrap), per-row selection / highlight, sorting / filtering. Wrap selection-friendly variants in your own component or wait for a future <DataTable>.

<Spinner>

<Spinner type="dots" />              // built-in frame set
<Spinner frames={['◐','◓','◑','◒']} interval={120} />  // custom
Copy

Built-in types: dots, line, arrow, bouncingBar, bouncingBall. Default interval is 80 ms.

<ProgressBar>

<ProgressBar value={42} total={100} width={20} />          // determinate
<ProgressBar indeterminate width={20} />                   // bouncing scanner
<ProgressBar
  value={3}
  total={10}
  width={20}
  fillChar="="
  emptyChar="-"
  color="cyan"
  trackColor="gray"
/>
Copy

To compose with a label, wrap in a row:

<Box flexDirection="row" gap={1}>
  <ProgressBar value={done} total={total} width={20} color="green" />
  <Text>{done}/{total}</Text>
</Box>
Copy

Composing focus

The recommended approach is focusId — pair it with useFocus / useFocusManager from @pilates/react. A <FocusProvider> is auto-installed by render(), so Tab cycles through widgets that opt in by id; no parent-side bookkeeping needed.

<TextInput value={name}  onChange={setName}  focusId="name"  autoFocus />
<TextInput value={email} onChange={setEmail} focusId="email" />
<Select items={sizes} onSelect={…} focusId="size" />
Copy

The boolean focus prop still works (back-compat) and is silently ignored when focusId is set.
