The Unity UGUI Guide on
Input Fields

This 14-page guide leads you through everything you need to know about Unity’s Input Field component. We start by creating a TextMesh Pro Input Field in the hierarchy, go through it's component's setup (Placeholder and Text child elements, Control Settings, Unity Events), and learn how to capture input on submit by pressing enter and via button clicks. Illustrated examples show you how to set character limits, choose content types (Name, Email, Decimal, Password, Pin,...), toggle visibility of sensitive input, change the asterisk character, and customize the blinking caret .

This guide is full of example use cases, screenhsots and explanations from the basic set up all the way to creating a custom validator.  By the end, you’ll have a robust understanding for handling any text-input scenario in your game .
