## Input
Input data using mouse or keyboard.
:::warning
Input is a controlled component, it **always shows Vue binding value**.
Under normal circumstances, `input` event should be handled. Its handler should update component's binding value (or use `v-model`). Otherwise, input box's value will not change.
Do not support `v-model` modifiers.
