StaticInput

Abstract Inherits: StaticInputBase

StaticInput is the headless base class for free-text <input> and <textarea> components — text, number, date, email, password, etc. It adds no new properties over StaticInputBase; its purpose is to be a clear inheritance target so a UI kit can name and style text-style inputs distinctly from checkboxes, radios and selects.

In the component’s Razor template, bind the inner <input> (or <textarea>) via the static-for tag helper.
