# Search Projects (Notchset): prompt.md (v1.0.0)

- id: `search-projects` · version 1.0.0 · component · pro (Pro)
- category: Inputs
- build: Base UI (one set of files; its dependencies follow the build)
- install (this build): `npx shadcn@latest add @beautiful-ui-pro/search-projects`
- npm dependencies: none
- registry dependencies: utils, https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/notchset-foundation.json
- docs: https://beautiful-ui.dev/components/search-projects
- The install command carries everything this item needs (files, CSS, tokens, npm and registry dependencies). Prefer it to copying source by hand.

A combobox that opens on focus under a leader with recent projects and filter chips; typing filters by name with env: and owner: prefixes, rows show a status node, meta and a 7-day spark, and nothing found offers Create.

## Build it
- Stack: React 19 (`ref` is a plain prop), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4 utilities, a shadcn-initialised project with the `@/*` alias.
- Packages: none beyond React.
- Files: `components/ui/notchset/search-projects.tsx`; shared code: `lib/beautiful-ui/notchset/instrument.tsx`, `lib/beautiful-ui/notchset/root.ts`.
- Registry dependencies, installed with it automatically: shadcn `utils` (cn), `notchset-foundation`.
- Builds: one set of files for both, but its dependencies come in Base UI and Radix builds. Install the one that matches the project (see Install): a free item's bare URL installs the Base UI build of it and its dependencies.
- Exports to keep: `SearchProjects`, and every exported type.
- CSS: the install adds the notchset foundation (tokens, keyframes, motion levels) to your global stylesheet once. Nothing to import by hand.
- Re-running `add` (or `--overwrite`) re-applies those rules: put overrides in your own CSS, never in the installed rules.
- Tokens: retheme with the `--notchset-*` custom properties (`--notchset-check`, `--notchset-control-edge`, `--notchset-draw-from`, `--notchset-ease-bloom`, `--notchset-ease-travel`, `--notchset-fade`, `--notchset-focus-color`, `--notchset-focus-inset`, `--notchset-life-from`, `--notchset-life-ms`, `--notchset-node-blink`, `--notchset-node-bloom`, `--notchset-node-delay`, `--notchset-plate-color`, `--notchset-rise-from`, `--notchset-rule`, `--notchset-scroll`, `--notchset-signal`, `--notchset-sweep-to`). Never add Tailwind colour classes inside the component.

```tsx
import { SearchProjects, type SearchProject } from "@/components/ui/notchset/search-projects";
```

## Parts

| Part | data-slot | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| `SearchProjects` | `search-projects` | The field and list. |

Style a part with `[data-slot="<slot>"]` selectors or its `className`; keep the attributes when editing.

## Sound
- Keep every `data-slot` and `data-sound` attribute: the sound layer reads them.
- Installing this item adds no audio. Nothing plays until the app mounts `SoundProvider` once (install: `npx shadcn@latest add https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/notchset-sound.json`, import from `@/components/ui/notchset/sound-provider`); `useSound()` gives `muted` and `setMuted` for a mute control. Without a provider the audio engine never loads.

## Match the original
- Read `components/ui/notchset/search-projects.tsx` as the reference implementation before changing or recreating anything, and match it: sizes, colours per theme, motion timings, copy and behaviour.
- If you deviate (a prop you can't honour, a style you changed, a dependency you swapped), say so in your reply, part by part.
- Keep the accessibility contract, the keyboard map and the motion levels listed below.

## Use it when
- search projects, project switcher, combobox, quick open, filter search, Notchset
- Jumping to a project, workspace or repo by name

### Not when
- Searching content across a product: use Expanded Search

## Mistakes
- Keep spark data on one scale across projects: it's drawn that way

## Usage

```tsx
"use client";

import { useRouter } from "next/navigation";
import { SearchProjects, type SearchProject } from "@/components/ui/notchset/search-projects";

const projects: SearchProject[] = [
  { id: "planner", name: "Planner", env: "PROD", owner: "MAYA", detail: "12 AGENTS", spark: [8, 9, 7, 10, 12, 11, 13, 14] },
  { id: "triage", name: "Triage", env: "STAGING", owner: "JONAS", detail: "4 AGENTS" },
];

export function ProjectSwitcher() {
  const router = useRouter();
  return <SearchProjects projects={projects} me="MAYA" onSelect={(p) => router.push(`/p/${p.id}`)} />;
}
```

## Props

| Prop | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| `projects` | `{ id, name, env, owner, detail?, spark? }[]` |  | The list. |
| `recent` | `string[]` |  | Ids shown before typing. |
| `filters` | `[prefix, value][]` |  | The chips (env:prod, owner:me…). |
| `me` | `string` |  | Who owner:me means. |
| `onSelect / onCreate` | `fn` |  | Open a project; create one from the query. |
| `hotkey` | `string` |  | Focuses it from anywhere (/). |

## Customising
- Colours: the component reads your shadcn tokens (`--background`, `--foreground`, `--border` …), refined by the `--notchset-*` tokens. The signal colour is `--notchset-signal` (it falls back to `--destructive`). Set tokens on `:root`, or on any container to retheme one area.
- Dark mode follows the `.dark` class on an ancestor (the shadcn and next-themes convention).
- Update later by re-running the install with `--overwrite` (review the diff if you edited it). Changelog: https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/changelog.json

## Keyboard

| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| / | Focus |
| ↑ / ↓ | Move |
| Enter | Open |
| Esc | Close |

## Performance

- Filtering is synchronous over the list you pass; the list mounts with the field and unrolls with CSS.

## Responsive

- 400px, shrinking with its container; rows truncate names and keep their spark.
- 44px field on touch screens.

## Motion inventory

| Interaction | What moves |
|---|---|
| Open | The leader drops (100ms) and the list unrolls (380ms after 80ms); rows drop in 35ms apart |
| Highlight | One block glides between rows (160ms) |

## Accessibility contract (preserve when editing)
- role=combobox with a listbox of options and aria-activedescendant
- The match is underlined and bold, not only coloured

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @beautiful-ui-pro/search-projects
```

Pro item: needs the `@beautiful-ui-pro` registry in `components.json` and `BEAUTIFUL_UI_TOKEN` in `.env.local` (https://beautiful-ui.dev/account). Setup: https://beautiful-ui.dev/docs/pro. Your components.json `style` picks the build: radix-*, new-york and default get Radix, base-* gets Base UI.

## Credits
- Built on shadcn/ui (https://ui.shadcn.com)

The notchset foundation (the tokens listed above, keyframes and motion levels) installs once with the first component; its CSS is public at https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/notchset-foundation.json.
