Who is it for?
Developers building assistant or messaging UIs.
When should I use it?
Chat-style briefs where the send affordance sits inside the composer.
When should I pick something else?
Plain forms with a separate submit row — use `Field` + `Textarea` + `Button`.

Use it

Simple

Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a line.

import { PromptInput } from "@zedtech/zedkit-ui";
<PromptInput sendLabel="Send" defaultValue="Summarize this page" onSubmit={() => {}} placeholder="Ask anything" aria-label="Message" />

Complete

Send to see the busy state.

import { PromptInput } from "@zedtech/zedkit-ui";
<PromptInput
  id="chat"
  sendLabel="Send"
  value={text}
  onChange={(e) => setText(e.target.value)}
  onSubmit={send}
  busy={pending}
  onCancel={stop}
  cancelLabel="Stop"
  rows={1}
  maxLength={2000}
  aria-label="Message"
/>

Kit not installed yet?

This ships on npm only; there is no copy-source brick for it.

You get
Every component from one import, with the theme tokens included. Updates arrive with your package manager.
You need
  • React 19 and Tailwind CSS 4, for example a Next.js app created with the Tailwind option.
  1. Install

    Terminal
    pnpm add @zedtech/zedkit-ui @fontsource-variable/inter @fontsource-variable/space-grotesk
  2. Load the styles

    Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so the @source line points it at the kit's class names. The path is relative to this file.

    src/app/globals.cssReplace the contents
    @import "tailwindcss";
    @import "@zedtech/zedkit-ui/styles.css";
    @source "../../node_modules/@zedtech/zedkit-ui/src/**/*.{ts,tsx}";
    @source not "../../node_modules/@zedtech/zedkit-ui/src/**/*.test.*";
    
  3. Pick a look

    Set data-identity="glass" on <html> so the finished app matches the site. Fresh app: replace src/app/layout.tsx. Existing app: merge, and keep ThemeProvider and other providers.

    src/app/layout.tsxReplace the contents
    import "./globals.css";
    import "./fonts";
    
    export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
      return (
        <html lang="en" data-identity="glass">
          <body>{children}</body>
        </html>
      );
    }
    
  4. Load the fonts

    The Glass look uses Inter and Space Grotesk; these imports self-host them.

    src/app/fonts.tsCreate the file
    import "@fontsource-variable/inter";
    import "@fontsource-variable/space-grotesk";
    
  5. Import and render

    src/app/page.tsxReplace the contents
    "use client";
    
    import { PromptInput } from "@zedtech/zedkit-ui";
    
    export default function Page() {
      return (
        <main className="px-page-gutter py-section-sm">
          <PromptInput sendLabel="Send" defaultValue="Summarize this page" onSubmit={() => {}} placeholder="Ask anything" aria-label="Message" />
        </main>
      );
    }

Accessibility

Pass sendLabel (and cancelLabel when using cancel); the field keeps a visible label via aria-label or associated FieldLabel. Send and cancel use size="icon" tap targets aligned with --spacing-control-height.

Troubleshooting

Send stays disabled — live text is trimmed (controlled `value`, or uncontrolled `defaultValue` with no `value`); whitespace-only counts as empty. Field does not grow past `maxRows` (default 8) — it scrolls inside the composer. Consumers need `field-sizing-content` (Tailwind v4) on the stylesheet.
