# Install and place "button-056" (Language Picker Button) from VibeUI

## 1. Install first — do not skip, do not recreate
Run this exact command before writing any code:
npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.ru/r/button-056.json

Registry item: https://vibeui.ru/r/button-056.json
Installs to: components/vibeui/button-056.tsx (the exact path follows this project's components.json aliases).
npm dependencies: none.
Registry dependencies: none.

Install it from the registry. Do not recreate it from the description,
do not substitute a similar component from another library, and do not
rewrite it to match the project's existing style.

## 2. What it is
A language picker built on a real select: keyboard support, type-ahead and the native mobile list all come from the browser.

A language switcher that looks like a button and works like a native select. That brings keyboard support, type-ahead, the system list on phones and a correct announcement of the chosen value for free. The globe and the chevron are pure CSS, and no JS is needed at all. Zero dependencies, one file.

## 3. How to use it
import { Button056 } from "@/components/vibeui/button-056"

<Button056 defaultValue="ru" onChange={switchLocale} label="Interface language" />

Read the installed file for the full prop list.

## 4. Where to place it
This is a small inline component. Put it exactly where the user asked,
inside the existing markup. Do not create a new page, section or
wrapper for it. If a similar control already sits in that spot,
replace it instead of adding a second one.

Placement: ___
(The user fills this line in. If it is still blank, ask where to put it
instead of guessing.)

## 5. Keep exactly as installed
- the real <select> inside: a custom menu would have to relearn the keyboard, type-ahead and the mobile list
- the focus ring on the plate via :has(select:focus-visible) — otherwise it wraps only the narrow field
- pointer-events:none on the chevron: without it a click on the mark does not open the list
- the aria-label on the select: it has no visible label, and the globe is not one
- language names in their own languages — 'Deutsch', not 'German': native speakers scan for them
- appearance:none together with a full set of custom padding: without it the system arrow overlaps the chevron

## 6. You may change
- the switcher's name through the label prop, which becomes its aria-label
- the list of languages through the languages prop
- the selected language through the defaultValue prop
- the accent colour through the accent prop
- the onChange handler and the rest of the native select props: name, form, disabled

## 7. Rules
- Do not replace the select with a custom menu for looks: you lose the keyboard, type-ahead and the mobile list.
- Do not translate language names into the current interface language — someone looking for their own language does not read the current one.
- The component does not switch the locale: it only reports the choice through onChange.
- Do not lift the CSS variables into globals.css: the component has to stay a single file.

## 8. Verify
- it renders with no console errors;
- it looks like the preview on the VibeUI page you copied this from;
- if it does not, you changed something listed in section 5 — put it back.

For developers

npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.ru/r/button-056.json
https://vibeui.ru/r/button-056.json

Компонент самодостаточен: один файл, без зависимостей, собственная палитра в локальных переменных --vibeui-button-056-*. Серверный компонент, JS не нужен вовсе: внутри плашки стоит настоящий <select> с appearance:none, глобус и шеврон нарисованы CSS. Фокус приходит на select, а обводку рисует плашка через :has(select:focus-visible) — поэтому кольцо охватывает всю кнопку. Шеврон помечен pointer-events:none, чтобы клик по нему открывал список.

Component source

The same file your agent installs. Here in case you would rather copy it by hand.

import type { ComponentPropsWithoutRef, CSSProperties } from "react"

export type Button056Language = { code: string; label: string }

export type Button056Props = Omit<
  ComponentPropsWithoutRef<"select">,
  "children"
> & {
  label?: string
  languages?: Button056Language[]
  accent?: string
}

// Идея компонента: кнопка выбора языка, которой не нужен ни JS, ни слой меню.
// Внутри — настоящий select с appearance:none, растянутый по всей плашке.
// Отсюда бесплатно приходят клавиатура, поиск по первой букве и системный
// список на телефоне; кнопке остаётся нарисовать глобус, рамку и шеврон.
