InputControl

This feature is still experimental. “Experimental” means this is an early implementation subject to drastic and breaking changes.

InputControl components let users enter and edit text. This is an experimental component intended to (in time) merge with or replace TextControl.

Usage

import { __experimentalInputControl as InputControl } from '@wordpress/components';
import { useState } from 'react';

const Example = () => {
    const [ value, setValue ] = useState( '' );

    return (
        <InputControl
            value={ value }
            onChange={ ( nextValue ) => setValue( nextValue ?? '' ) }
        />
    );
};
