Renders a controlled `<input>` element that uses a callback function to inform its parent about value updates.
- Use the `value` passed down from the parent as the controlled input field's value.
- Use the `onChange` event to fire the `onValueChange` callback and send the new value to the parent.
- The parent must update the input field's `value` prop in order for its value to change on user input.
```jsx
const ControlledInput = ({ value, onValueChange, ...rest }) => {
return (
<input
value={value}
onChange={({ target: { value } }) => onValueChange(value)}
{...rest}
/>
);
};
```
```jsx
const Form = () => {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState('');
return (
<ControlledInput
type="text"
placeholder="Insert some text here..."
value={value}
onValueChange={setValue}
/>
);
};
ReactDOM.render(<Form />, document.getElementById('root'));
```
