Input: HextaUI and shadcn/ui

The HextaUI Input keeps the shadcn/ui names and theme tokens and installs with the same CLI. This page lists what differs, read from the source of both. The shadcn/ui side is its base-vega registry as of 2026-10-16.

More source is not better on its own. Most of the extra lines in HextaUI handle states, motion and edge cases that you would otherwise write yourself.

Props HextaUI adds

Props the HextaUI wrapper handles itself that the shadcn/ui wrapper does not. Props passed straight through to Base UI or the underlying library are left out, because both versions accept them.

Prop	What it does
`htmlSize`Input	The native size attribute, renamed because size is the variant.
`shake`Input	Shake once when a form submit finds this input invalid. Works with native validation, Base UI Field and libraries that set aria-invalid. Skipped under reduced motion.
`threshold`InputCount	See the API reference
`announcement`InputCount	See the API reference

The HextaUI version

import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input"
import { Label } from "@/components/ui/label"

export function InputDemo() {
  return (
    <div className="flex w-full max-w-sm flex-col gap-2">
      <Label htmlFor="input-demo-email">Email</Label>
      <Input
        id="input-demo-email"
        type="email"
        autoComplete="email"
        placeholder="[email protected]"
      />
    </div>
  )
}

Every state, the keyboard map and the API reference are on the component page.

13 of its examples also have a page of their own.

Switch one component

Run the add command with --overwrite to replace the shadcn/ui file in @/components/ui, then review the diff in git before you keep it. Imports stay the same, and components you don’t replace keep working.

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/input.json --overwrite

Every prop in the table above is an addition, so call sites written for shadcn/ui don’t pass it yet.
Check any part or variant listed only for shadcn/ui before you switch, and map it to the closest HextaUI one.
