# Input

An input component is used to capture text input from the end user. You can submit the value of the input by:

- Adding an `action` to the input component (which will render an inline button)
- Using a [button component](/docs/references/1.3/canvas-kit/interactivecomponents/button) (which will submit all interactive components in the canvas)
