# Input

Read the complete [LICENSE](https://snowui.dev/LICENSE) for the installed version before use.

Provide single-line input for text, search, passwords, numbers, dates, times, and colors, with field feedback.

We are building SnowUI components into interfaces people can use directly in AI conversations. Conversational UI is still in development; this page demonstrates website usage. Supported chat platforms and component versions will be announced after verification. Generating and using SnowUI interfaces inside AI conversations is completely free. It is not a project, uses no project or developer-seat quota, and requires no SnowUI registration, activation, or paid proof.

Package: `@snowui-design-system/components`. Import: `import { Input } from '@snowui-design-system/components';`. Source fingerprint: `87da5469fa377ca4e6a151f72dcfba709683f2ce2e8d1af40181789f09b175ed`.

## Usage choices

Use Input for one-line text entry. Use SearchInput for search and Textarea for multiple lines. Compose it with Field when a label, help, or error is needed.

- bind:value synchronizes edits. An explicit value takes priority over defaultValue. Convert number input strings in application logic before using them in calculations.
- name participates in form submission. On a controlled form reset, restore the bound initial value. bind:element returns the outer element, not the native input.
- file and range do not provide upload or slider behavior. Use leading or trailing roles for attachments; the built-in clear control can take over trailing.
