Prompt Input is the field the person types into to message the agent. It is an Input Group with a textarea, an attach button, the Model Selector menus and a send button. Attached files show as Attachment chips above the text.

Installation

Prompt Input is built with the Input Group, Attachment and Dropdown Menu components.

pnpm dlx shadcn-vue@latest add input-group attachment dropdown-menu

Usage

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ArrowUpIcon, PlusIcon } from '@lucide/vue'
import { useFileDialog } from '@vueuse/core'
import { computed, ref } from 'vue'
import {
  InputGroup,
  InputGroupAddon,
  InputGroupButton,
  InputGroupTextarea,
} from '@/components/ui/input-group'

const text = ref('')
const formRef = ref<HTMLFormElement | null>(null)
const fileDialog = useFileDialog({ multiple: true, reset: true })
const canSend = computed(() => text.value.trim().length > 0)
</script>

<template>
  <form ref="formRef" @submit.prevent="onSubmit">
    <InputGroup>
      <InputGroupTextarea
        v-model="text"
        placeholder="Ask the agent to change your code..."
        class="p-3"
      />
      <InputGroupAddon align="block-end">
        <InputGroupButton
          size="icon-sm"
          variant="outline"
          class="rounded-full"
          aria-label="Attach files"
          @click="fileDialog.open()"
        >
          <PlusIcon />
        </InputGroupButton>
        <InputGroupButton
          type="submit"
          size="icon-sm"
          variant="default"
          class="ml-auto rounded-full"
          :disabled="!canSend"
          aria-label="Send"
        >
          <ArrowUpIcon />
        </InputGroupButton>
      </InputGroupAddon>
    </InputGroup>
  </form>
</template>

Attachments

The attach button opens a file dialog with useFileDialog. Show each file as an Attachment in an addon with align="block-start", with a button to remove it.

Model and Effort

Put the two Model Selector menus in the block-end addon, between the attach and send buttons. Move ml-auto from the send button to the first menu trigger, so both menus sit next to the send button.

Keyboard

Enter sends the message. Shift+Enter adds a new line.

<script setup lang="ts">
function onKeydown(event: KeyboardEvent) {
  if (event.key === 'Enter' && !event.shiftKey) {
    event.preventDefault()
    formRef.value?.requestSubmit()
  }
}
</script>

<template>
  <InputGroupTextarea v-model="text" @keydown="onKeydown" />
</template>

AI SDK

Send the text and the FileList from the file dialog.

chat.sendMessage({ text, files })

The route streams the reply with result.toUIMessageStreamResponse().

Migrating from AI Elements Vue

If you added Prompt Input from AI Elements Vue, your project has a components/ai-elements/prompt-input/ folder. Paste this prompt into your coding agent to rebuild it on Input Group and Attachment. Every export keeps its name and props, so the code that uses it keeps working.

Migrate components/ai-elements/prompt-input/ from AI Elements Vue to the shadcn-vue Input Group and Attachment components.

Keep every export, with the same name and props, so the code that imports it keeps working. Only change how each part renders.

1. Install the components: npx shadcn-vue@latest add input-group attachment
2. Read https://www.shadcn-vue.com/docs/ai-elements/prompt-input and build Prompt Input the same way.
3. Rebuild each part:
   - PromptInput already renders an Input Group. Keep the form, the provider, the attachment state and the command parts as they are.
   - PromptInputTextarea renders an InputGroupTextarea with class="p-3".
   - PromptInputActionMenuTrigger renders an InputGroupButton with size="icon-sm", variant="outline" and rounded-full, with a PlusIcon.
   - PromptInputSubmit renders an InputGroupButton with size="icon-sm", variant="default" and rounded-full, with an ArrowUpIcon while idle. Keep the spinner and stop icons for the other statuses.
   - PromptInputHeader shows each attachment as an Attachment with size="sm" and a button to remove it.
   - Keep PromptInputSelect, PromptInputHoverCard and the tab parts as they are.
4. Remove the imports the files no longer use.
5. Run vue-tsc and fix any errors.
