### API Reference — `<dw-email-input>`

`<dw-email-input>` extends `<dw-input>` with no additional props, events, or CSS variables. It differs only in its constructor defaults:

| Property | Value set in constructor |
|----------|--------------------------|
| `type` | `'email'` |
| `errorMessages.typeMismatch` | `'Invalid Email'` |

All props, methods, events, and CSS custom properties from `<dw-input>` are inherited.

```html
<dw-email-input label="Email Address" required></dw-email-input>
```

---

### Configuration Options

#### Application-Level Error Messages

Override default error messages for all `<dw-input>` instances in your application:

```javascript
import { DwInput } from '@dreamworld/dw-input/dw-input.js';

DwInput.setErrorMessages({
  valueMissing: 'This field is required.',
  typeMismatch: 'Please enter a valid value.',
  patternMismatch: 'The format is incorrect.',
  tooShort: 'Too short.',
  tooLong: 'Too long.',
  rangeUnderflow: 'Value is too low.',
  rangeOverflow: 'Value is too high.',
});
```

#### Tooltip Action Object Shape

Used with `hintTooltipActions`, `errorTooltipActions`, and `warningTooltipActions`:

```javascript
{
  name: String,    // Identifier emitted with the `action` event
  label: String,   // Button label displayed in the tooltip
  danger: Boolean  // When true, renders the button in a danger/destructive style
}
```

---

### Advanced Usage

#### Value Parsing & Text Formatting

Override `parseValue` and `formatText` in a subclass to decouple the internal `value` from the displayed text. This enables custom input formats (e.g. locale-formatted numbers, date inputs).

- `formatText(value)` — receives `value` (the structured property value), returns the string to display in the text field.
- `parseValue(text, userEditing)` — receives the raw input text and a `Boolean` indicating whether the user is still editing. Returns the parsed value to assign to `value`.
  - Returning `undefined` during `userEditing=true` leaves `value` unchanged, enabling intermediate invalid state handling.
  - Returning any value (including `undefined`) on blur (`userEditing=false`) sets `value`.

**Example — locale-formatted number input:**

```javascript
import { DwInput } from '@dreamworld/dw-input/dw-input.js';

class FormattedInput extends DwInput {
  formatText(value) {
    value = value.toString().replace(/,/g, '').replace(/ /g, '');
    return Number(value).toLocaleString();
  }

  parseValue(text) {
    text = text.replace(/,/g, '').replace(/ /g, '');
    return Number(text);
  }
}

customElements.define('formatted-input', FormattedInput);
```

```html
<formatted-input label="Amount" value="1000000"></formatted-input>
<!-- Displays: 1,000,000 -->
```

#### Custom Styling via Subclass

```javascript
import { DwInput } from '@dreamworld/dw-input/dw-input.js';
import { css } from 'lit';

class RoundedInput extends DwInput {
  static get styles() {
    return [
      DwInput.styles,
      css`
        .mdc-text-field {
          border-radius: 8px;
        }
      `
    ];
  }
}

customElements.define('rounded-input', RoundedInput);
```

#### Highlight Changed Value

Highlight a field when its current value differs from a reference value — useful in edit forms:

```html
<dw-input
  label="Username"
  value="john_new"
  originalValue="john_old"
  highlightChanged
></dw-input>
```

For custom equality logic:

```javascript
document.querySelector('dw-input').valueEqualityChecker = (val1, val2) => {
  return String(val1).trim() === String(val2).trim();
};
```

#### Tooltip-Based Hint, Error, and Warning

```html
<dw-input
  label="Password"
  hintInTooltip
  hint="Must be at least 8 characters"
  errorInTooltip
  error="Password is too weak"
  .errorTooltipActions=${[{ name: 'reset', label: 'Reset Password', danger: false }]}
></dw-input>
```

Listen for action events:

```javascript
document.querySelector('dw-input').addEventListener('action', (e) => {
  console.log('Tooltip action clicked:', e.detail); // e.g. 'reset'
});
```

#### Password Field

```html
<dw-input type="password" label="Password"></dw-input>
```

The visibility toggle icon is shown automatically. Listen to show/hide events:

```javascript
const input = document.querySelector('dw-input');
input.addEventListener('show-password', () => console.log('Password revealed'));
input.addEventListener('hide-password', () => console.log('Password hidden'));

// Or control programmatically:
input.showPassword();
input.hidePassword();
```

#### Auto-Grow Textarea Examples

```html
<!-- Grows from 80px to 200px, then scrolls -->
<dw-textarea .minHeight=${80} .maxHeight=${200}></dw-textarea>

<!-- Fixed height with scroll -->
<dw-textarea .minHeight=${70} .maxHeight=${70}></dw-textarea>

<!-- Prevent newline on Enter -->
<dw-textarea .minHeight=${70} .maxHeight=${70} disabledEnter></dw-textarea>

<!-- Read-only -->
<dw-textarea .minHeight=${80} .maxHeight=${200} .readOnly=${true}></dw-textarea>
```

## 2. Developer Guide / Architecture

### Architecture Overview

#### Design Patterns

| Pattern | Where Applied | Purpose |
|---------|--------------|---------|
| **Mixin / Composition** | `DwFormElement(LitElement)` base class | Injects form-integration behavior (validity reporting, form participation) without inheritance conflicts |
| **Template Method** | `parseValue()` and `formatText()` hooks | Defines the algorithm skeleton in `DwInput`; subclasses override specific steps to customize value serialization |
| **Adapter / Facade** | MDCTextField instance management (`_textFieldInstance`) | Wraps the Material Components Web imperative API behind a reactive LitElement property model |
| **Strategy** | `valueEqualityChecker` prop | Allows the equality-check algorithm to be swapped at runtime without subclassing |
| **Thin Specialization** | `DwEmailInput extends DwInput` | Reuses the full `DwInput` implementation; only constructor defaults differ |

#### Module Responsibilities

| File | Responsibility |
|------|----------------|
| `dw-input.js` | Core input component — rendering, validation, MDC lifecycle, tooltip integration, value formatting hooks, icon/password handling |
| `mdc-text-field-css.js` | Exports `TextfieldStyle` — the full Material Design text field CSS as a Lit `css` tagged template literal; imported and composed into `DwInput.styles` |
| `dw-textarea.js` | Standalone auto-grow undecorated textarea; minimal styling, no MDC dependency, exposes its own props/events/methods API |
| `dw-email-input.js` | Extends `DwInput`; sets `type='email'` and `errorMessages.typeMismatch` in the constructor |

#### Runtime Dependencies

| Package | Role |
|---------|------|
| `lit` (via `LitElement`) | Declarative reactive rendering and DOM update scheduling |
| `@material/textfield` | MDCTextField imperative instance — manages floating label, ripple, and outline animations |
| `@dreamworld/dw-form` | `DwFormElement` mixin — hooks the component into native `<form>` participation and validation lifecycles |
| `@dreamworld/dw-tooltip` | Renders hint / error / warning tooltip overlays |
| `@dreamworld/dw-icon` | Renders leading and trailing icons |
| `@dreamworld/dw-icon-button` | Renders clickable trailing icon buttons (when `clickableIcon=true` or for password visibility) |
| `@dreamworld/dw-button` | Renders tooltip action buttons |
| `@dreamworld/device-info` | Detects virtual keyboard presence to conditionally adjust layout behavior |
| `lodash-es` | Utility functions (debounce, equality checks) |
