Input

`ion-input,ion-textarea`

ion-input is meant for text type inputs only, such as text, password, email, number, search, tel, and url. Ionic still uses an actual <input type="text"> HTML element within the component, however, with Ionic wrapping the native HTML input element it's able to better handle the user experience and interactivity.

Similarily, <ion-textarea> should be used in place of <textarea>.

An ion-input is not used for non-text type inputs, such as a checkbox, radio, toggle, range, select, etc.
