Hello, I'm a bit confused on how to clear a Text Input.. let's say I have

var text by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
Input(type = InputType.Text, attrs = {
   defaultValue(text)
   onChange {  event ->
       text = event.target.value
   }
})

If I then set text = "" the input field is not cleared, as defaultValue is not reapplied... so how can I clear it? is the only way using a reference to the HTMLInputElement?
Thanks

You are using uncontrolled inputs and should call value(text)

No, I want to edit the text, with value the text is not editable

[hfhbd]

It is, if you use `onInput`:

var text by remember { mutableStateOf("InitValue") }
Input(type = InputType.Text) {
  value(text)
  placeholder("Username")
  onInput {
    text = it.value
  }
}

Of course! I was using onChange instead of onInput, that's why... thanks @hfhbd
