Goten Text Field

GotenTextField is a React component that facilitates the use of text inputs.

• It allows to bind an object to the value of a text input.
  • This avoids common boilerplate of state definition and setState calls.
• It helps validating a text input using its type.
  • You can specify a pattern (Regex) for the validation.
  • You can modify the error's display message and add certain functionality like pop-ups.
