## 🔧 **Technical Improvements**

### **New Validation Module**
```rust
// Advanced validation with builder pattern
let email_validator = InputValidator::new("email")
    .required()
    .email();

let password_validator = InputValidator::new("password")
    .required()
    .min_length(8)
    .pattern(r"^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d).*$".to_string());
```

### **Enhanced Input Component**
```rust
<Input 
    validator=Some(email_validator)
    show_validation=Signal::derive(|| true)
    validation_error=MaybeProp::from("Custom error message")
    // ... other props
/>
```

### **Validation Context Support**
```rust
let mut context = ValidationContext::new();
context.add_validator(email_validator);
context.add_validator(password_validator);

let result = context.validate_all(&form_values);
```

## 🚀 **Breaking Changes**

**None** - This release maintains full backward compatibility.

---

## 📦 **Dependencies**

### **New Dependencies**
- `regex = "1.0"` - For pattern validation support

### **Updated Dependencies**
- All existing dependencies remain unchanged
- No breaking changes to existing APIs

---

## 🎯 **Usage Examples**

### **Basic Validation**
```rust
use leptos_shadcn_input::{Input, InputValidator, validation_builders};

let email_validator = validation_builders::email_validator("email");

view! {
    <Input 
        validator=Some(email_validator)
        show_validation=Signal::derive(|| true)
        placeholder="Enter your email"
    />
}
```

### **Custom Validation**
```rust
let custom_validator = InputValidator::new("username")
    .required()
    .min_length(3)
    .max_length(20)
    .custom(|value| value.starts_with("user_"));

view! {
    <Input 
        validator=Some(custom_validator)
        show_validation=Signal::derive(|| true)
    />
}
```

### **Multi-field Validation**
```rust
let mut context = ValidationContext::new();
context.add_validator(validation_builders::email_validator("email"));
context.add_validator(validation_builders::password_validator("password"));

// Validate all fields at once
let result = context.validate_all(&form_data);
if result.is_valid {
    // Proceed with form submission
}
```

---

## 🧪 **Testing**

### **Running Tests**
```bash
# Run all tests
cargo test --package leptos-shadcn-input

# Run specific test categories
cargo test --package leptos-shadcn-input validation
cargo test --package leptos-shadcn-input tdd
```

### **Test Categories**
- **Basic Functionality**: CSS classes, value handling, callbacks
- **Validation System**: Required fields, email, length, pattern validation
- **Enhanced Features**: Real-time feedback, error display, performance
- **Accessibility**: ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, screen reader support
- **Leptos v0.8 Compatibility**: Signal handling, attribute system

---

## 🔄 **Migration Guide**

### **For Existing Users**
No migration required! All existing Input component usage continues to work unchanged.

### **For New Validation Features**
Simply add the new validation props to existing Input components:

```rust
// Before (still works)
<Input value=value on_change=on_change />

// After (with validation)
<Input 
    value=value 
    on_change=on_change
    validator=Some(validator)
    show_validation=Signal::derive(|| true)
/>
```
