Trigger when working with <flux:*> components, building or customizing Livewire component UIs, creating forms, modals, tables, or other interactive elements. Covers: flux: components (buttons, inputs, modals, forms, tables, date-pickers, kanban, badges, tooltips, etc.), component composition, Tailwind CSS styling, Heroicons/Lucide icon integration, validation patterns, responsive design, and theming. Do not use for non-Livewire frameworks or non-component styling."

# Flux UI Development

## Documentation

Use `search-docs` for detailed Flux UI patterns and documentation.

## Basic Usage

This project uses the free edition of Flux UI, which includes all free components and variants but not Pro components.

Flux UI is a component library for Livewire built with Tailwind CSS. It provides components that are easy to use and customize.

Use Flux UI components when available. Fall back to standard Blade components when no Flux component exists for your needs.

<!-- Basic Button -->
```blade
<flux:button variant="primary">Click me</flux:button>
```

## Available Components (Free Edition)

Available: avatar, badge, brand, breadcrumbs, button, callout, checkbox, dropdown, field, heading, icon, input, modal, navbar, otp-input, profile, radio, select, separator, skeleton, switch, text, textarea, tooltip

## Icons

Flux includes [Heroicons](https://heroicons.com/) as its default icon set. Search for exact icon names on the Heroicons site - do not guess or invent icon names.

<!-- Icon Button -->
```blade
<flux:button icon="arrow-down-tray">Export</flux:button>
```

For icons not available in Heroicons, use [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/). Import the icons you need with the Artisan command:

```bash
php artisan flux:icon crown grip-vertical github
```

## Common Patterns

### Form Fields

<!-- Form Field -->
```blade
<flux:field>
    <flux:label>Email</flux:label>
    <flux:input type="email" wire:model="email" />
    <flux:error name="email" />
</flux:field>
```

### Modals

<!-- Modal -->
```blade
<flux:modal wire:model="showModal">
    <flux:heading>Title</flux:heading>
    <p>Content</p>
</flux:modal>
```

## Verification

1. Check component renders correctly
2. Test interactive states
3. Verify mobile responsiveness

## Common Pitfalls

- Trying to use Pro-only components in the free edition
- Not checking if a Flux component exists before creating custom implementations
- Forgetting to use the `search-docs` tool for component-specific documentation
- Not following existing project patterns for Flux usage
