etaf-ui

etaf-ui is the official ETAF Component catalog. It is a normal optional package above etaf; it does not add a second Control or Widget model. Button, Checkbox, Label, Panel, and DataGrid are all ordinary Components with the same View, props, slots, events, and Data contracts.

(require 'etaf-ui)

(let ((done (etaf-ref nil)))
  (etaf-view
   (panel :title "Account"
    (slot :name 'header
          (button :label "Save" :ref 'save-button
                  :on-press (lambda () (message "saved"))))
    (label :text "Preferences")
    (checkbox :checked (etaf-value done) :label "Done"
              :ref 'done-checkbox
              :on-change (lambda (next)
                           (setf (etaf-value done) next))))))

In .etaf files use the short registered tags (panel, label, button, checkbox, and data-grid) for structure. The companion .el file owns reactive values, Actions, Behaviors, and callbacks; keep the etaf-view tree made from those same short tags. Canonical etaf-* names remain the Elisp definition and API names.

Button and Checkbox are controlled Components. etaf-button accepts :label, :on-press, :disabled, :ref, and the small presentation set :class, :color, :bgcolor, :border, :padding, :face, :tab-index, and :aria-label, plus :use for a public Behavior list. An enabled button defaults to role button and tab index 0; a disabled button keeps its label and disabled styling but has no press handler, Behavior, or tab stop. etaf-checkbox accepts :checked, :label, :on-change, :disabled, :ref, and the same presentation props. It exposes role checkbox, a stable :ref, and tab index 0 while enabled. Its :on-change receives the next boolean value; disabled checkboxes have no handler or tab stop.

Component :styles declarations own default appearance. A non-nil presentation prop supplied by the caller wins; an omitted or nil prop leaves the inherited Theme/default style available. Button has the deliberately small primary, secondary, and ghost visual vocabulary; it is a visual variant set, not a second widget taxonomy.

Enabled buttons and checkboxes expose the same interaction affordances: a hand pointer, mouse-face hover feedback, a readable help-echo, a numeric tab stop, and a semantic role. Button presses briefly enter a pressed visual state. Disabled controls retain their text and disabled appearance but expose no callback, pointer activation, or tab stop. The Runtime owns composition of an explicit :on-* callback with a Behavior callback; the UI package only declares the control and its visual state.

Spacing is owned by the parent layout, not by Button. Put adjacent controls in a row/flex with an explicit horizontal :gap; this keeps each control's mouse-face and hit range semantically separate.

etaf-label accepts :text, :face, :class, :color, :bgcolor, :width, :border, :padding, and :ref. etaf-panel accepts :title, the same surface presentation props, and projects the named header slot plus the default slot.

DataGrid accepts column descriptors, a function-valued :row-key, and the optional :loading-label, :error-label, :empty-label, :selected-key, or function-valued :row-selected-p. When :on-row-press is supplied, every row is an interactive button: :row-ref is required, must return a non-nil stable Host reference for each row, and the row receives role button and tab index 0. :on-row-press receives the row. Without :on-row-press, rows have no callback or tab stop. :row-key remains a required non-nil stable scalar identity for retained rows.

etaf-pagination is a controlled Data Component. It accepts a Data controller plus stable :previous-ref and :next-ref values, renders readable ‹/› controls and a Page N / M summary, and disables the boundary action while a page is loading or already at the first/last page. It owns no page state and uses the same Button interaction contract.

Keyboard focus uses ETAF's public runtime ports: call (etaf-focus-next runtime) to move through visible Hosts with a numeric non-negative :tab-index, and dispatch through (etaf-dispatch-event runtime ref 'press) when an action must be invoked by code. Disabled controls and non-interactive DataGrid rows are omitted from that tab order.
