# TextInput

### Use Cases

✅ Capturing user input: TextInput fields are commonly used to collect text-based information from users, such as names, addresses, or messages.

✅ Offering autocomplete suggestions: TextInput fields can be enhanced with autocomplete functionality to suggest or predict possible input options as the user types. This can improve efficiency and accuracy, especially for repetitive or commonly used values.

### Not to Use Cases

❌ Using a TextInput for non-editable or read-only content: TextInputs are designed for user input and should not be used to display static or non-editable text. For displaying information without user interaction, other UI elements like labels or text components are more suitable.

❌ Overloading a TextInput with excessive input constraints: While validation and input restrictions can be helpful, it's important to avoid overwhelming the user with too many constraints. Striking a balance between providing guidance and allowing flexibility is crucial to prevent user frustration.
