Creating a Phaser 3 Input Field

In the first part of this tutorial, William Clarkston shows us how to create a text input field for Phaser 3.

William Clarkson has released an excellent tutorial on creating a Phaser 3 Text Input on Phaser Games. In the first part of this tutorial, you will start creating a simple text form ui that you can use in your Phaser game.
