Input is the ngsInput directive for native input and textarea elements. It connects standard text controls to NgStarter FormField styling, floating label state, required and disabled state, readonly state, placeholders, focus behavior, and Angular form error state.
Use it for regular text entry such as search, email, password, URL, plain phone-like text, textarea comments in forms, filters, settings forms, profile forms, and admin forms. In most cases, place one input[ngsInput] or textarea[ngsInput] inside one ngs-form-field with ngs-label, hints, errors, and optional prefixes or suffixes.
Do not use Input for numeric controls with step/min/max behavior, phone country selection, custom masks, selects, autocomplete, date/time pickers, currency or country selection, inline rename, comments/replies, rich text, block content, checkbox, radio, toggles, buttons, or layout wrappers. Use the dedicated NgStarter control for those cases.
