Enhanced Form System

  • Form Controls: Select dropdowns, checkboxes, radio groups, and textarea components with validation
  • File Upload: Drag & drop file upload with preview, progress tracking, and file type validation
  • Input Enhancements: Extended the existing Input component with better error handling and icons

Interactive Components

  • Modal Variants: Specialized modals for confirmations, alerts, forms, and drawer-style layouts
  • Context Menu: Right-click context menus with keyboard navigation and accessibility support
  • Tooltip System: Smart positioning tooltips with multiple trigger modes (hover, click, focus)

馃敡 Technical Implementation

TypeScript & Type Safety

// Comprehensive interfaces for all components
export interface DataTableProps<T> {
  data: T[];
  columns: Column<T>[];
  pageSize?: number;
  searchable?: boolean;
  onRowClick?: (item: T) => void;
}

Accessibility First

  • Full WCAG compliance with proper ARIA attributes
  • Keyboard navigation support for all interactive components
  • Screen reader optimization
  • Focus management and semantic HTML

Performance & Integration

  • Tree-shakeable exports for optimal bundle size
  • Seamless integration with existing Tailwind theme
  • Responsive design with mobile-first approach
  • Compatible with existing codebase patterns

馃摎 Usage Examples

// Advanced data table with all features
<DataTable 
  data={users} 
  columns={columns}
  searchable={true}
  pageSize={10}
  onRowClick={(user) => console.log(user)}
/>

// Smart file upload with validation
<FileUpload
  multiple={true}
  accept="image/*,.pdf"
  maxSize={5 * 1024 * 1024}
  onFileSelect={handleFiles}
  showPreview={true}
/>

// Confirmation modal with variants
<ConfirmationModal
  isOpen={showConfirm}
  onConfirm={handleDelete}
  title="Delete Item"
  variant="danger"
/>

馃殌 Demo & Documentation

  • Interactive Demo: New /ui-demo page showcasing all components in action
  • Comprehensive README: Detailed documentation with usage examples and API reference
  • Type Definitions: Full TypeScript support with IntelliSense and type checking
  • Test Coverage: Unit tests for core functionality with Jest and React Testing Library

The library maintains backward compatibility while significantly expanding the UI capabilities of the application. All components follow established design patterns and integrate seamlessly with the existing architecture.

Fixes #18 (closed).
