# init(_:text:selection:prompt:axis:) Creates a text field with a binding to the current selection and a text label generated from a localized title string resource. ``` @export(implementation) nonisolated init(_ titleResource: LocalizedStringResource, text: Binding, selection: Binding, prompt: Text? = nil, axis: Axis? = nil) ``` ## Parameters `titleResource` The localized title of the text field, describing its purpose. `text` The text to display and edit. `selection` A [`Binding`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Binding) to the variable containing the selection. `prompt` A `Text` representing the prompt of the text field which provides users with guidance on what to type into the text field. Defaults to `nil`. `axis` The axis in which to scroll text when it doesn’t fit in the available space. Defaults to `nil`. ## Discussion The following example shows a text field with a binding to the current selection: ``` @State private var message: String = "" @State private var selection: TextSelection? = nil var body: some View { TextField( "Message", text: $message, selection: $selection ) } ``` Use the [`onSubmit(of:_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/onSubmit(of:_:)) modifier to invoke an action whenever the user submits this text field. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
