# Adding examples
Rule of thumb:
If the example is a 3rd party package or it lives under a different URL, only link to it in `overview.md`.
If the example is file(s) that we wrote:
1. Define the component in `sampleproject/examples/components/<component_name>/<component_name>.py`.
2. Define a view / page component in `sampleproject/examples/pages/<component_name>/<component_name>.py`.
3. Add a new page here in the documentation named `<component_name>.md`, similarly to [Tabs](./alpine/tabs.md).
4. Link to that new page from `index.md`.
5. Update `.nav.yml` if needed.
6. Add a corresponding test file in `tests/test_example_<component_name>.py`.

# Form
A `Form` component that automatically generates labels and arranges fields in a grid. It simplifies form creation by handling the layout for you.
![Form example](./images/form.png)
To get started, use the following example to create a simple form with 2 fields - `project` and `option`:
```django
{% component "form" %}
{% fill "field:project" %}
<input name="project" required>
{% endfill %}
{% fill "field:option" %}
<select name="option" required>
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
</select>
{% endfill %}
{% endcomponent %}
```
This will render a `<form>` where fields are defined using `field:<field_name>` slots.
Labels are automatically generated from the field name. If you want to define a custom label for a field,
you can use the `label:<field_name>` slot.
```django
{% component "form" %}
{# Custom label for "description" field #}
{% fill "label:description" %}
{% component "form_label"
field_name="description"
title="Marvelous description"
/ %}
{% endfill %}
{% fill "field:description" %}
<textarea name="description" required></textarea>
{% endfill %}
{% endcomponent %}
```
Whether you define custom labels or not, the form will have the following structure:
![Form structure](./images/form_structure.png)
## API
### `Form` component
The `Form` component is the main container for your form fields. It accepts the following arguments:
- **`editable`** (optional, default `True`): A boolean that determines if the form is editable.
- **`method`** (optional, default `"post"`): The HTTP method for the form submission.
- **`form_content_attrs`** (optional): A dictionary of HTML attributes to be added to the form's content container.
- **`attrs`** (optional): A dictionary of HTML attributes to be added to the `<form>` element itself.
To define the fields, you define a slot for each field.
**Slots:**
- **`field:<field_name>`**: Use this slot to define a form field. The component will automatically generate a label for it based on `<field_name>`.
- **`label:<field_name>`**: If you need a custom label for a field, you can define it using this slot.
- **`prepend`**: Content in this slot will be placed at the beginning of the form, before the main fields.
- **`append`**: Content in this slot will be placed at the end of the form, after the main fields. This is a good place for submit buttons.
### `FormLabel` component
When `Form` component automatically generates labels for fields, it uses the `FormLabel` component.
When you need a custom label for a field, you can use the `FormLabel` component explicitly in `label:<field_name>` slots.
The `FormLabel` component accepts the following arguments:
- **`field_name`** (required): The name of the field that this label is for. This will be used as the `for` attribute of the label.
- **`title`** (optional): Custom text for the label. If not provided, the component will automatically generate a title from the `field_name` by replacing underscores and hyphens with spaces and applying title case.
**Example:**
```django
{% component "form_label"
field_name="user_name"
title="Your Name"
/ %}
```
This will render:
```html
<label for="user_name" class="font-semibold text-gray-700">
Your Name
</label>
```
If `title` is not provided, `field_name="user_name"` would automatically generate the title "User Name",
converting snake_case to "Title Case".
## Example
To see the component in action, you can set up a view and a URL pattern as shown below.
### `views.py`
```djc_py
--8<-- "sampleproject/examples/pages/form.py"
```
### `urls.py`
```python
from django.urls import path
from examples.pages.form import FormPage
urlpatterns = [
path("examples/form", FormPage.as_view(), name="form"),
]
```
## Definition
### `form.py`
```djc_py
--8<-- "sampleproject/examples/components/form/form.py"
```
### `form.html`
```django
{% load component_tags %}
--8<-- "sampleproject/examples/components/form/form.html"
```

# Tabs (AlpineJS)
_(By [@JuroOravec](https://github.com/JuroOravec) and [@mscheper](https://github.com/mscheper))_
This example defines a tabs component. Tabs are dynamic - to change the currently
opened tab, click on the tab headers.
To get started, use the following example to create a simple container with 2 tabs:
```django
{% component "Tablist" id="my-tablist" name="My Tabs" %}
{% component "Tab" header="Tab 1" %}
This is the content of Tab 1
{% endcomponent %}
{% component "Tab" header="Tab 2" disabled=True %}
This is the content of Tab 2
{% endcomponent %}
{% endcomponent %}
```
![Tabs example](./images/tabs.gif)
## API
The tab component is composed of two parts: `Tablist` and `Tab`. Here's how you can customize them.
### `Tablist` component
The `Tablist` component is the main container for the tabs. It accepts the following arguments:
- **`id`** (optional): A unique ID for the tab list. If not provided, it's generated from the `name`.
- **`name`**: The name of the tab list, used as a WAI-ARIA label for accessibility.
- **`selected_tab`** (optional): The `id` of the tab that should be selected by default.
- **`container_attrs`**, **`tablist_attrs`**, **`tab_attrs`**, **`tabpanel_attrs`** (optional): Dictionaries of HTML attributes to be added to the corresponding elements.
Inside the `Tablist`'s default slot you will define the individual tabs.
### `Tab` component
The `Tab` component defines an individual tab. It MUST be nested inside a `Tablist`. It accepts the following arguments:
- **`header`**: The text to be displayed in the tab's header.
- **`disabled`** (optional): A boolean that disables the tab if `True`.
- **`id`** (optional): A unique ID for the tab. If not provided, it's generated from the header.
Use the `Tab`'s default slot to define the content of the tab.
## Example
To see the component in action, you can set up a view and a URL pattern as shown below.
### `views.py`
This example shows how to render a full page with the tab component.
```djc_py
--8<-- "sampleproject/examples/pages/tabs.py"
```
### `urls.py`
```python
from django.urls import path
from examples.pages.tabs import TabsPage
urlpatterns = [
path("examples/tabs", TabsPage.as_view(), name="tabs"),
]
```
## How it works
At the start of rendering, `Tablist` defines special context that `Tab`s recognize.
When a `Tab` component is nested and rendered inside a `Tablist`, it registers itself with the parent `Tablist` component.
After the rendering of `Tablist`'s body is done, we end up with list of rendered `Tabs` that were encountered.
`Tablist` then uses this information to dynamically render the tab HTML.
