## Design Token
## FAQ
### Why Input lose focus when change `prefix/suffix/showCount`
When Input dynamic add or remove `prefix/suffix/showCount` will make React recreate the dom structure and new input will be not focused. You can set an empty `` element to keep the dom structure:
```jsx
const suffix = condition ? : ;
;
```
### Why TextArea in control can make `value` exceed `maxLength`?
When in control, component should show as what it set to avoid submit value not align with store value in Form.
