Shouldn't this be the default behavior?

Well no, if you only have touched react, it actually heavily transforms events and inputs to get its behavior.

For example:

• React's onChange fires on every input, while vanilla js doesn't
• Vanilla JS does not have "controlled" inputs, you need to make them manually

How to use

import { ControlledInput, ControlledTextarea } from "solid-controlled-input";

That's it, use this input like you would use the og <input /> or <textarea />
