showOTP	boolean	false	No	Enables OTP verification for the phone number field. Note: OTP functionality is a placeholder and requires integration with an external service (e.g., Twilio).

Field Config

options	{ value: string; label: string }[]	undefined	No	Options for select fields. If empty, the select field is replaced with a disabled text input.
required	boolean	false	No	Marks the field as required.
section	string	undefined	No	Groups fields under a section header.

Accessibility

Semantic input and select elements with aria-label and aria-required attributes.
ARIA live regions (aria-live="polite") for error and success messages to ensure screen reader compatibility.
Full keyboard navigation support for inputs, buttons, and select elements (via Enter and Space keys).
Visible asterisks for required fields and high-contrast styling for readability.
Error states with subtle shake animations and success states with green borders.

Styling

Uses Tailwind CSS for responsive grid layouts and retro aesthetics.
Dark mode support with gradient backgrounds (purple-blue-indigo).
3D effects with transform-gpu, box-shadow, and perspective for a nostalgic look.
Smooth hover and focus animations using transition-all and cubic-bezier curves.
Theming support with a theme object for primary, success, and error colors.

Notes

The OTP functionality (showOTP) is a placeholder and logs to the console. For production, integrate with an OTP service like Twilio or Firebase.
For large forms, consider using react-hook-form for optimized state management and validation.
Styles are Tailwind-specific but can be extracted to a CSS module for non-Tailwind projects.
