TextField
The TextField widget is a text input control that allows a user to enter characters from the keyboard. A user can enter any text composed of alphabets, numbers or special characters as there is no restriction on the type of characters acceptable by the control. Generally, the TextField control is used for capturing short text because it’s viewing area is restricted to a single line.
This component binds to a String object.
