Renders an uncontrolled `<input>` element that uses a callback function to inform its parent about value updates.
- Use the `defaultValue` passed down from the parent as the uncontrolled input field's initial value.
- Use the `onChange` event to fire the `onValueChange` callback and send the new value to the parent.
```jsx
const UncontrolledInput = ({ defaultValue, onValueChange, ...rest }) => {
return (
<input
defaultValue={defaultValue}
onChange={({ target: { value } }) => onValueChange(value)}
{...rest}
/>
);
};
```
```jsx
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
<UncontrolledInput
type="text"
placeholder="Insert some text here..."
onValueChange={console.log}
/>
);
```
