Requirements: - You must render the expected element type (e.g. if `<button>` is expected, you cannot render an `<a>`). - Only a single root DOM element can be rendered (no fragments). - You must pass through props and ref to the underlying DOM element, merging with your own prop as appropriate.

`type`	`"text" \| (string & {}) \| "search" \| "tel" \| "url" \| "email" \| "password" \| undefined`	`'text'`	The type of input to render. See [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#htmlattrdeftype).
`validate`	`((value: string) => true \| ValidationError \| null \| undefined) \| undefined`	—	A function that returns an error message if a given value is invalid. Validation errors are displayed to the user when the form is submitted if `validationBehavior="native"`. For realtime validation, use the `isInvalid` prop instead.
`validationBehavior`	`"native" \| "aria" \| undefined`	`'native'`	Whether to use native HTML form validation to prevent form submission when the value is missing or invalid, or mark the field as required or invalid via ARIA.
`value`	`string \| undefined`	—	The current value (controlled).
