personAuthor: jakexiaohubgithub

Instructions

When creating new GPUI components:

  1. Follow existing patterns: Base implementation on components in crates/ui/src (examples: Button, Select)
  2. Style consistency: Follow existing component styles and Shadcn UI patterns
  3. Component type decision:
    • Use stateless elements for simple components (like Button)
    • Use stateful elements for complex components with data (like Select and SelectState)
  4. API consistency: Maintain the same API style as other elements
  5. Documentation: Create component documentation
  6. Stories: Write component stories in the story folder

Component Types

  • Stateless: Pure presentation components without internal state
  • Stateful: Components that manage their own state and data
