Outputinput.py

from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.widgets import Input


class InputApp(App):
    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield Input(placeholder="First Name")
        yield Input(placeholder="Last Name")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = InputApp()
    app.run()

The Input widget supports a type parameter which will prevent the user from typing invalid characters. You can set type to any of the following values:

input.type	Description
"integer"	Restricts input to integers.
"number"	Restricts input to a floating point number.
"text"	Allow all text (no restrictions).
