  return (
    <CurrencyInput
      id="input-example"
      name="input-name"

      decimalsLimit={2}
      onValueChange={(value, name) => console.log(value, name)}
    />

      name="input-name"

      defaultValue={1000}
      decimalsLimit={2}
      prefix="$"
      onValueChange={(value, name) => console.log(value, name)}
    />
  );
