TextInput is a form component to add default styling to the native text input.

Note: Don't forget to set aria-label to make the TextInput accessible to screen reader users.

Default example

<TextInput aria-label="Zipcode" name="zipcode" placeholder="Zipcode" autoComplete="postal-code" />

<TextInput ml={4} icon={SearchIcon} aria-label="Zipcode" name="zipcode" placeholder="Find user" autoComplete="postal-code" />

<TextInput aria-label="Zipcode" name="zipcode" placeholder="Zipcode" autoComplete="postal-code" />
<TextInput ml={4} icon={SearchIcon} aria-label="Zipcode" name="zipcode" placeholder="Find user" autoComplete="postal-code" />
