Instructions

# Atomic Design: Molecules

Master the creation of molecule components - functional groups of atoms that work together as a unit. Molecules combine multiple atoms to create more complex, purposeful UI elements.

## What Are Molecules?

Molecules are the first level of composition in Atomic Design. They are:

- **Composed of atoms only**: Never include other molecules
- **Single purpose**: Do one thing well
- **Functional units**: Atoms working together for a specific task
- **Reusable**: Used across different organisms and contexts
- **Minimally stateful**: May have limited internal state for UI concerns

## Common Molecule Types

### Form Molecules

- Form fields (label + input + error)
- Search forms (input + button)
- Toggle groups (label + toggle)
- Date pickers (input + calendar trigger)
- File uploaders (dropzone + button)

### Navigation Molecules

- Nav items (icon + text + indicator)
- Breadcrumb items (link + separator)
- Pagination controls (buttons + page indicator)
- Tab items (icon + label)

### Display Molecules

- Media objects (avatar + text)
- Card headers (title + subtitle + action)
- List items (checkbox + content + actions)
- Stat displays (label + value + trend)

### Action Molecules

- Button groups (multiple buttons)
- Dropdown triggers (button + icon)
- Icon buttons (icon + tooltip)
- Action menus (button + menu items)

## FormField Molecule Example

### Complete Implementation

```typescript
// molecules/FormField/FormField.tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Label } from '@/components/atoms/Label';
import { Input, type InputProps } from '@/components/atoms/Input';
import { Text } from '@/components/atoms/Typography';
import styles from './FormField.module.css';

export interface FormFieldProps extends InputProps {
  /** Field label */
  label: string;
  /** Unique field identifier */
  name: string;
  /** Help text below input */
  helpText?: string;
  /** Error message */
  error?: string;
  /** Required field indicator */
  required?
