# Demo

A simple example without label

A example with label and slot demonstrations. Also enter text to see clearable state or toggle controls to see various properties such as invalid state and the below-input slot. Also it is demonstrated here how to use the isActive prop.

All events emitted by the native input element (e.g. @keydown) contained in the BaseInput component are also available.
