TextField

func TextField(state *StateValue[string]) *viewNode
 
func (n *viewNode) Placeholder(p string) *viewNode
func (n *viewNode) OnSubmit(fn func(string)) *viewNode
func (n *viewNode) Multiline() *viewNode
func (n *viewNode) Password() *viewNode

A TextField is bound to a *StateValue[string]. Typing updates the state silently (no re-render, because the entry widget already shows the latest text). Calling state.Set("") from outside the field clears it.

Example

input := gova.State(s, "")
 
gova.TextField(input).
    Placeholder("Search...").
    OnSubmit(func(val string) {
        performSearch(val)
        input.Set("")
    })

Modifiers

Multiline() switches to a multi-line entry with wrapping. Password() masks input. Both are plain chained methods; do not pass them as arguments.

gova.TextField(password).Password()
gova.TextField(notes).Multiline().MinHeight(120)

Sizing inside a stack

A bare TextField uses Fyne's default height, which is smaller than most UI designs expect. Set an explicit minimum:

gova.HStack(
    gova.TextField(input).Placeholder("...").MinHeight(36).Grow(),
    gova.Button("Add", onAdd),
).Spacing(gova.SpaceSM)

The .Grow() modifier lets the field fill the remaining horizontal space alongside the button.
