Component Patterns

Server vs Client Components

// Server Component (default) - for static UI
export function ProductCard({ product }: { product: Product }) {
  return (
    <div className="rounded-xl border border-border/60 bg-surface p-4">
      <h3 className="text-lg font-semibold">{product.name}</h3>
      <p className="text-default-500">{product.description}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

// Client Component - for interactivity
'use client';

import { Button } from '@heroui/react';
import { useState } from 'react';

export function AddToCart({ productId }: { productId: string }) {
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);

  return (
    <Button
      isLoading={loading}
      onPress={() => handleAdd(productId)}
    >
      Add to Cart
    </Button>
  );
}

HeroUI v3 Component Usage

HeroUI v3 uses compound component patterns with Tailwind classes:

import { Tooltip, Button, RadioGroup, Radio } from '@heroui/react';

// Compound components with Tailwind styling
function CustomTooltip() {
  return (
    <Tooltip>
      <Tooltip.Trigger>
        <Button>Hover me</Button>
      </Tooltip.Trigger>
      <Tooltip.Content className="bg-accent text-accent-foreground">
        <p>Custom styled tooltip</p>
      </Tooltip.Content>
    </Tooltip>
  );
}

// RadioGroup with data attributes for state styling
function PlanSelector() {
  return (
    <RadioGroup defaultValue="premium" name="plan">
      <Radio
        className="group cursor-pointer rounded-xl border-2 border-border p-4
                   hover:border-blue-300
                   data-[selected=true]:border-blue-500
                   data-[selected=true]:bg-blue-500/10"
        value="basic"
      >
        <Radio.Indicator className="border-2 border-border
                                    group-hover:border-blue-400
                                    group-data-[selected=true]:border-blue-500" />
        Basic Plan
      </Radio>
    </RadioGroup>
  );
}
