# --description--

In React, <dfn>controlled inputs</dfn> are a standard way to handle form data, where the input's value is synced with the component's state. 

```jsx
const MyForm = () => {
  const [name, setName] = useState("");

  return (
    <>
      <label htmlFor="name">Your name</label>
      <input type="text" value={name} id="name" />
    </>
  );
}
```

You will learn more about this pattern in a future lesson.

To track what the user types into the search input field, create a state variable named `query` with an initial value of an empty string (`''`). Also define its corresponding setter function, `setQuery`, using the `useState` Hook.

# --hints--

You should use the array destructuring syntax for the `query` and `setQuery` variables.

```js
assert.match(code, /(const|let|var)\s+\[\s*query\s*,\s*setQuery\s*\]\s*/);
```

You should use the `useState` Hook.

```js
    const abuseState = __helpers.spyOn(React, "useState");
    const script = [...document.querySelectorAll("script")].find((s) => s.dataset.src === "index.jsx").innerText;
    const exports = {};
    const _a = eval(script);
    const _b = await __helpers.prepTestComponent(exports.FruitsSearch);
    assert.isAtLeast(abuseState.calls.length, 1);
```

Your `useState` Hook should have an initial value of an empty string (`''`).

```js
  const abuseState = __helpers.spyOn(React, "useState");
  const script = [...document.querySelectorAll("script")].find((s) => s.dataset.src === "index.jsx").innerText;
  const exports = {};
  const _a = eval(script);
  const _b = await __helpers.prepTestComponent(exports.FruitsSearch);
  assert.equal(abuseState.calls[0]?.[0], '');
```
