Full width

Sizes

FormControl can appear in medium (default) and large dimensions using the size prop.

Pass the required prop to ensure that the input field must be filled out before submitting the form.

Using refs

TextInput inputs can be used in uncontrolled mode by forwarding a ref to the underlying element.

Component props

TextInput provides a React alternative to the native HTML <input> in single-line mode.

The component API supports all standard HTML attribute props, while providing some additional behaviour as described below.
