  const [text, setText] = useState('')

  return (
    <Screen>
      <List id="example">
        <Section>

Click the Notes field and type. Try the system keyboard on a device.

Bind the text

Keep the text in React state. Pass the string to value and its setter to onChange.

Name the field

Use label for its accessible name. A prompt supplies placeholder text when the field is empty.

Bound the editor's growth

Use minLines and maxLines to bound the editor's height. Return inserts a line break; use a separate Button for saving or sending the text.
