  size      => 10,

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So, what's the vibe? You use this thing to create an input control inside an Embperl Form. That's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

Not sure how to even specify parameters in the first place?</purl> Go read Embperl::Form — that's where all the deets live. iykyk 🫶

✨ PARAMETER ✨

okay here's the roster of params, one by one, no gatekeeping 👑

• type — needs to be 'input'. Like, it has to be. No negotiating, no alternatives, that's the assignment. periodt 💀
• name — specifies the name of the control. iconic behaviour, every control needs a name.
• text — will be used as the label for the text input control. so like, the little caption that tells everyone what they're typing into 🏷️
• size — gives the size in characters. how wide is she gonna be, bestie 📏
• maxlength — gives the maximum possible input length in characters. the hard limit, the ceiling, the "no more than this" ✋
• class — alternative CSS class name. for when you wanna dress her up different than the default fit 🎀
