Import

Import the component from its dedicated entry point to keep the dependency and generated bundle explicit.

TSX

tsximport { SearchInput } from "@tavojs/ui/search-input";

Normal Tavo.js applications load component styles through the Tavo.js UI plugin. If the application manages component CSS manually, also import @tavojs/ui/css/search-input.

When to use

Use it when

Use `SearchInput` for labeled search and filtering fields. It keeps query state, filtering, debouncing, and result rendering in the consuming application

Choose something else when

Avoid SearchInput when wrapping controls without labels or accessible names.

Examples

SearchInput example

TSX

tsximport { SearchInput } from "@tavojs/ui/search-input";
import { Field } from "@tavojs/ui";

export function SearchInputExample1() {
  let query = "";
  const isSearching = false;
  const setQuery = (nextQuery: string) => {
    query = nextQuery;
  };
  return (
    <>
      <Field label="Search resources">
        <SearchInput
          value={query}
          placeholder="Name or category"
          clearable
          loading={isSearching}
          onInput={(event) => setQuery(event.currentTarget.value)}
          onClear={() => setQuery("")}
        />
      </Field>
    </>
  );
}

State ownership and DOM target

Concern	Contract
State	Application controlled through value and the matching callback.
DOM target	Native input attributes target the owned form control; wrapper-specific props stay on the documented component root.

Anatomy and related components

This component exposes one public component root rather than a compound member API.

Limitations

Avoid SearchInput when wrapping controls without labels or accessible names.

Use only the documented props, entry points, and compound members. Internal DOM nesting and CSS class names can change without becoming part of the public component contract.

Accessibility

Pair the control with `Field`, a visible label, or `aria-label`. Loading sets `aria-busy` on the native input, and the clear action uses `clearLabel` as its accessible name.
