// Text input with icon
"🔍"
// Email input with validation
// Password input with visibility toggle
// Number input
} } ``` ### Custom Password Input Component ```rust #[component] pub fn PasswordInput( id: String, value: ReadSignal, on_change: WriteSignal, #[prop(default = false)] required: bool, ) -> impl IntoView { let (show_password, set_show_password) = create_signal(false); view! {
} } ``` ### Textarea Component ```rust use leptos_shadcn_textarea::Textarea; #[component] pub fn TextareaExamples() -> impl IntoView { let (message, set_message) = create_signal(String::new()); let char_count = move || message.get().chars().count(); view! {
// Basic textarea
