Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an unstyled, ref-forwarding Input primitive with native prop support, custom rendering, and disabled, invalid, and read-only state attributes. Exposes the primitive through the headless package build. Adds tests and local documentation. Registers the primitive in Swingset with Storybook and MDX documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3dd6f

This adds a public headless Input primitive, but consumers using the documented custom textarea rendering can receive a textarea through an input-typed ref, and the new package export may not ship in a release. Resolve the ref contract and release entry before merging.

Cover both aria-invalid input forms.

Input maps both boolean true and string 'true' to data-invalid, but this test covers only the string form. Add cases for aria-invalid={true} and aria-invalid={false} to protect both branches and verify that the attribute is omitted for false.

As per coding guidelines: unit tests are required for all new functionality and must verify edge cases.

Make the forwarded ref match the rendered element.

Input advertises an HTMLInputElement ref, but useRender forwards the same ref to any element supplied through render. The documented <textarea> path can therefore place an HTMLTextAreaElement into a ref typed as HTMLInputElement. Tie the ref type to the rendered element, or restrict render to input elements.

Based on packages/headless/src/utils/use-render.tsx:191-235 and the <textarea> example in packages/swingset/src/stories/input.primitive.mdx:35-38.

Use the local primitive import in this README.

Import Input from @/primitives/input for consistency with sibling primitive READMEs. Reserve the published @clerk/headless/input path for a dedicated documentation migration.

Based on learnings: primitive README examples should use internal @/primitives/<name> imports during an isolated primitive change.

Use the required primitive documentation section order.

This page omits ## Playground and places ## Usage before ## Props. The required order is Playground, Props, then Usage. Rename or replace ## Example with the required playground section and move ## Props before ## Usage.

As per coding guidelines: “Playground / Props / Usage are mandatory and always in this order.”
