{/* Usage */}

<ComponentSection>
  <Heading level={2}>Usage</Heading>
  <Heading level={3}>With Built-in Field (Recommended)</Heading>
  <p>
    Use the `label` prop to enable the built-in Field wrapper with label, description, and error support.
  </p>

```tsx
import { Input } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <Input
      label="Email"
      placeholder="you@example.com"
      description="We'll never share your email"
    />
  );
}
```

<Heading level={3}>Bare Input (Custom Layouts)</Heading>
<p>
  For custom form layouts, use Input without `label`. Must provide `aria-label`
  or `aria-labelledby` for accessibility.
</p>

```tsx
import { Input } from "@cloudflare/kumo";

export default function Example() {
  return <Input placeholder="Search..." aria-label="Search products" />;
}
```

{/* Examples */}

<ComponentSection>
  <Heading level={2}>Examples</Heading>

<Heading level={3}>With Label and Description</Heading>
<p>
  The `label` prop enables the built-in Field wrapper with automatic vertical
  layout (label above input).
</p>
<ComponentExample demo="InputWithLabelDemo">
  <InputWithLabelDemo client:visible />
</ComponentExample>

<Heading level={3}>With Error (String)</Heading>
<p>
  Pass `error` as a string for simple error messages. Error styling is
  automatically applied when the `error` prop is truthy.
</p>
<ComponentExample demo="InputErrorStringDemo">
  <InputErrorStringDemo client:visible />
</ComponentExample>

<Heading level={3}>With Error (Validation Object)</Heading>
<p>
  Pass `error` as an object with `message` and `match` for HTML5 validation.
  Error shows when field validity matches.
</p>
<ComponentExample demo="InputErrorObjectDemo">
  <InputErrorObjectDemo client:visible />
</ComponentExample>

<Heading level={3}>Input Sizes</Heading>
<p>Four sizes available: `xs`, `sm`, `base` (default), `lg`.</p>
<ComponentExample demo="InputSizesDemo">
  <InputSizesDemo client:visible />
</ComponentExample>

<Heading level={3}>Disabled</Heading>
<ComponentExample demo="InputDisabledDemo">
  <InputDisabledDemo client:visible />
</ComponentExample>

<Heading level={3}>Optional Field</Heading>
<p>Set `required={false}` to show "(optional)" text after the label.</p>
<ComponentExample demo="InputOptionalFieldDemo">
  <InputOptionalFieldDemo client:visible />
</ComponentExample>

<Heading level={3}>With Label Tooltip</Heading>
<p>Use `labelTooltip` to add an info icon with additional context on hover.</p>
<ComponentExample demo="InputLabelTooltipDemo">
  <InputLabelTooltipDemo client:visible />
</ComponentExample>

<Heading level={3}>ReactNode Label</Heading>
<p>The `label` prop accepts ReactNode for rich formatting.</p>
<ComponentExample demo="InputReactNodeLabelDemo">
  <InputReactNodeLabelDemo client:visible />
</ComponentExample>

<Heading level={3}>Bare Input (No Label)</Heading>
<p>
  Input without `label` renders as a bare input. Must provide `aria-label` for
  accessibility.
</p>
<ComponentExample demo="InputBareDemo">
  <InputBareDemo client:visible />
</ComponentExample>

  <Heading level={3}>Input Types</Heading>
  <p>
    Supports all HTML input types: `text`, `email`, `password`, `number`, `tel`, `url`, etc.
  </p>
