# Widget Renderer
Declarative UI from JSON via [ui.inference.sh](https://ui.inference.sh).

## Quick Start
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://ui.inference.sh/r/widgets.json
```
## Basic Usage
```tsx
import { WidgetRenderer } from "@/registry/blocks/widgets/widget-renderer"
import type { Widget, WidgetAction } from "@/registry/blocks/widgets/types"
const widget: Widget = {
type: 'ui',
title: 'My Widget',
children: [
{ type: 'text', value: 'Hello World' },
{ type: 'button', label: 'Click me', onClickAction: { type: 'click' } },
],
}
<WidgetRenderer
widget={widget}
onAction={(action, formData) => console.log(action, formData)}
/>
```
## Widget Types
### Layout
```json
{ "type": "row", "gap": 2, "children": [...] }
{ "type": "col", "gap": 2, "children": [...] }
{ "type": "box", "background": "gradient-ocean", "padding": 4, "radius": "lg", "children": [...] }
```
### Typography
```json
{ "type": "title", "value": "Heading", "size": "2xl", "weight": "bold" }
{ "type": "text", "value": "Body text", "variant": "bold" }
{ "type": "caption", "value": "Small text" }
{ "type": "label", "value": "Field label", "fieldName": "email" }
```
### Interactive
```json
{ "type": "button", "label": "Submit", "variant": "default", "onClickAction": { "type": "submit" } }
{ "type": "input", "name": "email", "placeholder": "Enter email" }
{ "type": "textarea", "name": "message", "placeholder": "Your message" }
{ "type": "select", "name": "plan", "options": [{ "value": "pro", "label": "Pro" }] }
{ "type": "checkbox", "name": "agree", "label": "I agree", "defaultChecked": false }
```
### Display
```json
{ "type": "badge", "label": "New", "variant": "secondary" }
{ "type": "icon", "iconName": "check", "size": "lg" }
{ "type": "image", "src": "https://...", "alt": "Image", "width": 100, "height": 100 }
{ "type": "divider" }
```
## Example: Flight Card
```tsx
const flightWidget: Widget = {
type: 'ui',
children: [
{
type: 'box', background: 'gradient-ocean', padding: 4, radius: 'lg', children: [
{
type: 'row', justify: 'between', children: [
{
type: 'col', gap: 1, children: [
{ type: 'caption', value: 'departure' },
{ type: 'title', value: 'SFO', size: '2xl', weight: 'bold' },
]
},
{ type: 'icon', iconName: 'plane', size: 'lg' },
{
type: 'col', gap: 1, align: 'end', children: [
{ type: 'caption', value: 'arrival' },
{ type: 'title', value: 'JFK', size: '2xl', weight: 'bold' },
]
},
]
},
]
},
],
}
```
## Example: Form
```tsx
const formWidget: Widget = {
type: 'ui',
title: 'Contact Form',
asForm: true,
children: [
{
type: 'col', gap: 3, children: [
{ type: 'input', name: 'name', placeholder: 'Your name' },
{ type: 'input', name: 'email', placeholder: 'Email address' },
{ type: 'textarea', name: 'message', placeholder: 'Message' },
{ type: 'button', label: 'Send', variant: 'default', onClickAction: { type: 'submit' } },
]
},
],
}
```

| `gradient-ocean` | Blue teal gradient |
| `gradient-sunset` | Orange pink gradient |
| `gradient-purple` | Purple gradient |
| `gradient-cool` | Cool blue gradient |

case 'submit':
console.log('Form data:', formData)
break
case 'click':
console.log('Button clicked')
break
}
}
