// Disclosure (modals, menus)
const [opened, { open, close, toggle }] = useDisclosure(false);

// Toggle between values
const [value, toggle] = useToggle(['light', 'dark']);

// Debounced value
const [search, setSearch] = useState('');
const [debounced] = useDebouncedValue(search, 300);

// Clipboard
const clipboard = useClipboard({ timeout: 2000 });
clipboard.copy('Text to copy');
clipboard.copied // true after copy

// Local storage
const [value, setValue] = useLocalStorage({
  key: 'user-preference',
  defaultValue: 'dark',
});

// Media query
const isMobile = useMediaQuery('(max-width: 768px)');

// Click outside
const ref = useClickOutside(() => setOpened(false));

// Keyboard shortcuts
useHotkeys([
  ['mod+K', () => openSearch()],
  ['mod+S', () => saveDocument()],
  ['Escape', () => closeModal()],
]);
```

## Theming

### Custom Theme

```tsx
import { createTheme, MantineProvider } from '@mantine/core';

const theme = createTheme({
  // Primary color
  primaryColor: 'brand',
  primaryShade: { light: 6, dark: 8 },

  // Custom colors (10 shades each)
  colors: {
    brand: [
      '#e6f2ff', '#b3d9ff', '#80bfff', '#4da6ff', '#1a8cff',
      '#0073e6', '#005cb3', '#004480', '#002d4d', '#00161a',
    ],
  },

  // Typography
  fontFamily: 'Inter, sans-serif',
  fontFamilyMonospace: 'Fira Code, monospace',
  headings: {
    fontFamily: 'Inter, sans-serif',
    fontWeight: '600',
    sizes: {
      h1: { fontSize: '2.5rem', lineHeight: '1.2' },
      h2: { fontSize: '2rem', lineHeight: '1.3' },
    },
  },

  // Spacing scale
  spacing: {
    xs: '0.5rem',
    sm: '0.75rem',
    md: '1rem',
    lg: '1.5rem',
    xl: '2rem',
  },

  // Border radius
  radius: {
    xs: '2px',
    sm: '4px',
    md: '8px',
    lg: '16px',
    xl: '32px',
  },
  defaultRadius: 'md',

  // Shadows
  shadows: {
    xs: '0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05)',
    sm: '0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
    md: '0 4px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
    lg: '0 10px 15px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
    xl: '0 20px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15)',
  },

  // Focus styles
  focusRing: 'auto', // 'auto' | 'always' | 'never'

  // Other
  cursorType: 'pointer', // 'default' | 'pointer'
  autoContrast: true,
});
```

### Dark Mode

```tsx
import { MantineProvider, useMantineColorScheme, Button } from '@mantine/core';

// Provider setup
<MantineProvider defaultColorScheme="auto">
  <App />
</MantineProvider>

// Toggle button
function ColorSchemeToggle() {
  const { colorScheme, toggleColorScheme } = useMantineColorScheme();

  return (
    <Button onClick={() => toggleColorScheme()}>
      {colorScheme === 'dark' ? 'Light' : 'Dark'} mode
    </Button>
  );
}
```

### Styles API

```tsx
import { Button, createStyles } from '@mantine/core';

// Using classNames prop
<Button
  classNames={{
    root: 'my-button-root',
    label: 'my-button-label',
  }}
>
  Styled Button
</Button>

// Using styles prop
<Button
  styles={{
    root: { backgroundColor: 'red' },
    label: { color: 'white' },
  }}
>
  Inline Styled
</Button>

// CSS Modules (recommended)
// Button.module.css
.root {
  background-color: var(--mantine-color-blue-6);
}

.label {
  font-weight: 700;
}

// Component
import classes from './Button.module.css';
<Button classNames={classes}>CSS Modules</Button>
```

### CSS Variables

```tsx
// Access theme tokens via CSS variables
.myComponent {
  background-color: var(--mantine-color-blue-6);
  padding: var(--mantine-spacing-md);
  border-radius: var(--mantine-radius-md);
  font-size: var(--mantine-font-size-sm);

  /* Dark mode specific */
  @mixin dark {
    background-color: var(--mantine-color-dark-6);
  }

  /* Responsive */
  @media (max-width: $mantine-breakpoint-sm) {
    padding: var(--mantine-spacing-xs);
  }
}
```

## Layout

```tsx
import {
  AppShell,
  Container,
  Grid,
  Group,
  Stack,
  Flex,
  SimpleGrid,
  Center,
} from '@mantine/core';

// App shell layout
<AppShell
  header={{ height: 60 }}
  navbar={{ width: 300, breakpoint: 'sm', collapsed: { mobile: !opened } }}
  padding="md"
>
  <AppShell.Header>Header</AppShell.Header>
  <AppShell.Navbar>Navbar</AppShell.Navbar>
  <AppShell.Main>Content</AppShell.Main>
</AppShell>

// Container with max width
<Container size="md">Content</Container>

// Grid
<Grid>
  <Grid.Col span={6}>Half</Grid.Col>
  <Grid.Col span={6}>Half</Grid.Col>
  <Grid.Col span={{ base: 12, md: 6, lg: 4 }}>Responsive</Grid.Col>
</Grid>

// Simple grid (equal columns)
<SimpleGrid cols={3}>
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
</SimpleGrid>

// Flex layouts
<Group justify="space-between" align="center">
  <Text>Left</Text>
  <Text>Right</Text>
</Group>

<Stack gap="md">
  <Text>Item 1</Text>
  <Text>Item 2</Text>
</Stack>

<Flex gap="md" wrap="wrap" justify="center">
  <Box>Item</Box>
  <Box>Item</Box>
</Flex>
```

## Best Practices

1. **Use CSS modules** - Most performant styling approach
2. **Leverage hooks** - `useDisclosure`, `useDebouncedValue`, `useForm` for common patterns
3. **Use Styles API** - Override component parts with `classNames` prop
4. **Theme tokens** - Use CSS variables for consistent theming
5. **Form validation** - Use `@mantine/form` with Zod for type-safe forms
