3 | Native authored element | Owning Zenbu primitive |
4 | --- | --- |
5 | `button`, button-like `a` | `zen-button` |
6 | text/email/file/etc. `input` | `zen-input` or `zen-field` |
7 | `textarea` | `zen-textarea` or `zen-field` |
8 | native `select` | `zen-native-select`, `zen-select`, or `zen-field` |
9 | checkbox input | `zen-checkbox` |
10 | radio inputs/fieldset | `zen-radio-group` |
11 | switch checkbox | `zen-switch` |
12 | range input | `zen-slider` |
13 | date value | `zen-calendar` or `zen-date-picker` |
14 | one-time-code input | `zen-input-otp` |
15 | filter input and options | `zen-combobox` |
16 | command input and items | `zen-command` |
17 | anchor with reusable effect | `zen-link` |
18 | heading with canonical type role | `zen-heading` |
19 | text with canonical type role | `zen-text` |
20 | padded container | `zen-box` |

22 ## Control-owning composites
23
24 These behavior primitives already own their native buttons. Do not add a second
25 `zen-button`:
26
27 - menus, context menus, menubars, and navigation menus;
28 - tabs, toggles, toggle groups, and sidebars;
29 - calendars, carousels, commands, and data tables;
30 - notifications and dismissible alerts.
31
32 ## Coordinating containers
33
34 Dialogs, alert dialogs, sheets, drawers, popovers, tooltips, forms, empty
35 states, and items coordinate or arrange content. They do not own application
36 actions. Wrap authored action buttons in `zen-button`, then put the native
37 `button` inside it.
38
39 ## Generated controls
40
41 Component implementation code may create native buttons for accessibility.
42 Generated controls are owned by that component. Application-authored controls
43 are checked separately.
