# TextInput

> Adds a single-line Text Input panel in the Makeswift builder to visually edit a `string` prop.

## Params

<ParamField query="label" type="string" default="Text">
  Text for the panel label in the Makeswift builder.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="defaultValue" type="string">
  The value passed to your component when nothing is set in the Makeswift
  builder.
</ParamField>

## Prop type

The TextInput control passes a `string` to your component. If you don't set a `defaultValue` and no value is set in the builder, your component receives `undefined`.

## Example

The following example adds a Text Input control to the `children` prop of a Link component.

<CodeGroup>
  ```tsx Button.makeswift.ts
  import { TextInput } from "@makeswift/runtime/controls"

  import { runtime } from "@/makeswift/runtime"

  import { Button } from "./Button"

  runtime.registerComponent(Button, {
    type: "button",
    label: "Button",
    props: {
      text: TextInput({ label: "Text", defaultValue: "Click me" }),
    },
  })
  ```

  ```tsx Button.tsx
  interface Props {
    text?: string
  }

  export function Button({ text = "Click me" }) {
    return (
      <button className="px-4 py-3 rounded bg-primary text-white shadow">
        {text}
      </button>
    )
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>
