  const [value, setValue] = useState("Have");
  const inputRef = createRef();

  return (
    <SafeAreaView>
      <DelayInput
        value={value}
        minLength={3}
        inputRef={inputRef}
        onChangeText={setValue}
        delayTimeout={500}
        style={{ margin: 10, height: 40, borderColor: "gray", borderWidth: 1 }}

Props

onChangeText: (string | number) => void

A function called after some delay when a value is changed

value?: string | number (defalut: '')

Initial value of the input

minLength?: number (default: 3)

Minimal length of text to start notify, if value becomes shorter then minLength (after removing some characters), there will be a notification with empty value ''.

delayTimeout?: number (default: 600)

Timeout to call onChangeText prop after last edit input text

inputRef?: React.refObject

Will pass ref={inputRef} to TextInput element. We needed to rename ref to inputRef since ref is a special prop in React and cannot be passed to children.

And also all props specified for React Native TextInput component
