# fields.text()

Single-line text input. The most commonly used field — stores a plain string.

Single-line text field. Maps to editor `{ name: 'str-input', type: 'text' }` — the same wire shape documented in Text.

## Example

```ts
fields.text({
  label: 'Heading',
  localizable: true,
  placeholder: 'Enter a heading…',
  spellcheck: true,
})
```

| `placeholder`  | `string \| null` | No       | Hint text shown in the empty input.                                                         |
| `spellcheck`   | `boolean`        | No       | Enable/disable browser spellcheck on the input.                                             |

## Output type
